Oakland police & itchie trigger fingers - Peter Lemkin - 22-07-2010
Sadly, given the kind of person in the Police and their mind set PLUS the new mood of the growing police state and terrorist under every rock - they shoot first and look for threatening action later.....all too often. People are terrified when pulled over for a traffic infraction, that they will be murdered by the police as they sit quietly in their car. It has happened. Being dark skinnned and looking poor, the average policeman suspects or 'knows' you are up to 'no good' and are just a target for them to practice on...sadly. It is getting worse and only one officer has ever been convicted for such a shooting and not for murder, but manslaughter. These types of shootings occur several per week nationwide. Fatal ones are common. Usually no one is even prosecuted. Being a policeman or woman in the USA is a license to kill...without reasons very often.
