This morning I heard about that guy. Apparently he wasn't going to show the video until he read in the newspaper that the police report was completely different from the video so he brought it to the dead man's family.
He should get a medal of honor.

The following statistics seem impossible to believe. While I wonder how accurately the UK has been tracking these numbers historically, the enormous spread seems much too large to ignore, and is a national embarrassment that should be dealt with immediately.
From the Free Thought Project:
A new report by ThinkProgress.com unearthed disturbing figures when it came to the number of police-related deaths that occurred in America in the month of March alone.
Just last month, in the 31 days of March, police in the United States killed more people than the UK did in the entire 20th century. In fact, it was twice as many; police in the UK only killed 52 people during that 100 year period.
According to the report by ThinkProgess, in March alone, 111 people died during police encounters — 36 more than the previous month.
This high number in March increased the average for police killings from every 8.5 hours, to nearly 1 police killing every 6.5 hours in the US.
China, whose population is 4 and 1/2 times the size of the United States, recorded 12 killings by law enforcement officers in 2014.
On average, US police kill people at a rate 70 times higher than any of the other first world countries as they “protect and serve” the American citizens.
This is not what freedom looks like.

Sentence exemplaire? Prison à vie dans un pénitencier fédéral avec tous les autres qui savent pourquoi il est en dedans?
T'inquiète pas ce que gars pourra se cacher un melon d'eau et deux cartons de cigarette dans le cul après 1 mois.
Sinon, un peu barbare... La famille du défunt devrait avoir le droit de buter de la même manière et mettre la vidéo sur liveleak pour la famille du policier.

Ouf, faudrait pas qu'il soit declare innocent. Ca m'etonnerait qu'il ressorte de prison avec une preuve comme on a en video.
Pour ce qui est des 111 morts durant une intervention policiere, il faut voir les circonstances. Il y a beaucoup plus de crimes violents dans les grandes villes Americaines qu'en Angleterre ou les gens sont plus "Canadiens" dans leur moeurs.
De plus depuis la crise financiere/economique de 2006-07 et malgre ce qu'on dit, la quantite de vrais pauvres aux US a augmente considerablement, et comme on sait tous, la vraie pauvrete ghetto engendre le crime et la violence surtout dans les grandes villes.
Mettons que j'irais pas en vacances a Detroit...

Il y avait un Haïtien qui avait promis d'exécuté le prochain policier qui tuerait un noir à Montréal. Après avoir été en prison on l'a déporté semble-t-il que sa menace était assez crédible

The dash cam video changes absolutely nothing. We know the guy ran from the police, that's not the point. The point is that unless an officer's life is in danger, there's no justification for them to use lethal force on a suspect. You chase the suspect down, or he gets away. That's the way it's supposed to work. The officer does not have the right to act as judge, jury and executioner. Especially for a non-violent offender... Unpaid child support and driving with no insurance? Yeah, he deserved to die.
And, the clincher: the officer had the guy's fucking driver's licence. They could have arrested him at his house.
If what this officer did is acceptable in any way, then it's ok for police to open fire on anyone in a vehicle that refuses to stop for police. And that's just not how it works.
We're heading down a slippery slope....

You forgot to mention one thing. The black dude had an outstanding warrant on him for 18,000$ of unpaid child support. So that's why he ran. He was a felon.
This does not excuse what the officer did, but the black dude was indeed a CRIMINAL.
It is unclear whether the cop was able to get the warrant out of his system before he ran away though, I doubt it.
One thing is for sure, he should not have shot him in the back, 8 times then leaving the taser next to him. Once in the leg would have been appropriate though.

Oh I agree 1000%, you don't shoot someone in the back for an 18.000 warrant and expired insurance, the cop deserves to go to jail, but now the "defenders of police" have an argument they didn't have yesterday.

It's not an argument... it's actually even worst to try and bring out an insignificant detail as a reason for the use of deadly force.

Stupide comme raisonnement, la famille du policier n'a rien à voir avec tout ça...

Hmmm, compte pas la dessus. Rappelle-toi la preuve contre O.J. Simpson, et son acquittement.
Aussi, il y avait un vidéo de Rodney King en train de manger une criss de volée et aucun policier n'a été condamné lors du premier procès. Les émeutes qui ont suivi ont duré 6 jours et il y aurait eu 50 à 60 morts, entre 800 millions et 1 milliards de dollars de dommages. Et Rodney King n'est même pas mort...
