The Shoot First Mentality of American Police ~ what do u do when the Law ..becomes the Lawless ...folks, Our Forefathers knew what 2 do !!!

Few, if any, of the correct questions were asked in the grand jury
hearing to decide whether policeman Darren Wilson would be indicted for
killing Michael Brown.
The most important unexamined question is whether police are trained to
use force immediately as a first resort before they assess a situation
or determine if they are at the correct address. Are the police trained
that the lives of police officers are so much more valuable than the
lives of possible suspects, or a houseful of people into whose residence
a heavily armed SWAT team enters, that police officers must not accept
the risk of judicious behavior when encountering citizens? If this is
the case as all evidence indicates that it is, then the police when they
gratuitously murder members of the public are merely doing what they
have been trained to do. As police are trained to use violence as a
first resort, the police cannot be held accountable when they do.
There are a large number of videos available online that show that the
first thing that police do when they arrive is to use force.
No sooner is Michael Brown in the grave than Cleveland cops kill a
12-year old boy who has a toy gun that shoots plastic pellets. The
child is threatening no one–indeed there is no one else present. The
boy seems to be playing a fantasy game in his head. A busy body calls
the police. The police arrive and instantly shoot the kid down.
Here is a selection of videos and reports. Some of the videos are
compressed to save the viewer time. They range from 59 seconds to the
full 7:51 minute video, which shows the kid is just walking up and down
the sidewalk. All the action comes at the end. The police arrive and
instantly open fire, making no effort whatsoever to assess the
situation.

Just a few days before Michael Brown is killed, Ohio police murdered
John Crawford inside a Walmart store. What had Crawford done? He had
picked up a BB rifle from a Walmart shelf and was on the phone with the
mother of his two children, perhaps checking with her whether he could
purchase it for the kids. A busy body named Ronald Ritchie felt
threatened and called the police. The police rush in and shoot
Crawford. The police claim that they ordered Crawford to drop the
rifle, but the video shows the police shooting Crawford on sight. The
busy body Ritchie actually caused two deaths, as the incident of
Crawford’s murder caused Angela Williams to die from a heart attack as she fled the store in response to the police gunfire.
Yes, you guessed it. The grand jury decided the police were justified.
Here is another video that
demonstrates that policemen shoot instantly without cause. This is a
rare case in which the policeman was held accountable, most likely
because the video prevented authorities from fabricating the usual story
of police justification.
In this video,
police shoot down an unarmed black man in the street. After shooting
Kajieme Powell ten times, the cops hold guns on the dead body while they
handcuff a dead man. Like an almost endless number of other such
videos, this one shows that either psychopaths are recruited for the
police force, or police training turns cops into psychopaths.
These two reports examine Officer Darren Wilson’s story of why he shot
Michael Brown and conclude that Wilson’s story doesn’t make sense. http://www.vox.com/2014/11/25/7281165/darren-wilsons-story-side and http://www.vox.com/2014/11/25/7287443/dorian-johnson-story
Most likely, Michael Brown was just another victim of the gratuitous
violence that police are trained to use. Darren Wilson’s use of deadly
force was in keeping with his training.
The problem with the grand jury and prosecutor in Ferguson and
everywhere else is that the real problem–the training of police to use
deadly force as a first resort–was not identified as the cause of
Michael Brown’s death.
The Ferguson grand jury’s decision is not an exoneration of Wilson’s
use of deadly force. Anyone familiar with the American criminal justice
(sic) system knows that any prosecutor can get or prevent an indictment
from a grand jury. Prosecutors are allowed to determine what evidence
is presented. Prosecutors are permitted to bribe witnesses with money or
dropped charges, and they can coerce false witness testimony by
threatening a witness with charges. Seldom does an indictment or
refusal to indict turn on the true facts.
The US justice system is no longer concerned with justice, but with the
careers of prosecutors, punishing the powerless, and protecting the
powerful. As justice has largely departed the justice system, it is
hardly surprising that police lack any concept of justice.
