Nobody's life matters... to the cops.

Black people make it sound like the cops just shoot black people but the truth is, the cops will shoot anyone if they get startled or angry or depressed or disappointed or take too many steroids or drink while on the job.  Or sometimes just for sport it seems.  That's what it looked like when a cop took a head shot of an unarmed 16 year old white boy who was fleeing them.  After shooting Isaih Murrietta-Golding in the back of the head, his partner said, "good shot".  ABC reported that this was caught on bodycam audio. 

In another act of complete stupidity and irrational fear, another unarmed white boy, John Albers, was killed in a bullet storm by cops that were contemplating knocking on the door of his parent's home because some third party had worried that he might be attempting suicide.  The story by cops is just ridiculous.

"On the night Albers was killed, his family had gone out to dinner. Police were called to the home for a wellness check after a friend was concerned that Albers may have been intoxicated and feeling suicidal and had threatened to stab himself with a knife, according to Sheila Albers and the federal complaint filed by the family.

Dashcam videos and a neighbor's security camera showed Jenison and another officer arriving at the home. They first spoke for a few minutes outside and did not knock on the front door or identify themselves. Eventually, the family's garage door swung open, and Jenison unholstered his weapon and moved toward the door as the minivan, which Albers was driving, was about to reverse out.
It was then, as the minivan backed out slowly and in a straight line, that Jenison reacted, aiming his weapon and yelling, "Stop, stop, stop." In a second, Jenison, who was standing to the right of the van, fired twice toward Albers; the family's complaint contended that one or both of the bullets struck the teenager, "incapacitating him and rendering him unable to control the minivan.

The car stopped but then speeded up in reverse, making a U-turn in the driveway and backing up. Jenison fired 11 more shots, and the minivan pulled forward, past another police car that had just approached, and coasted in neutral into the driveway of a home across the street.
A toxicology report indicated that Albers had not been under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Howe, in announcing his decision not to charge the officer in 2018, said "these are fluid and instantaneous decisions that a law enforcement officer must make, which makes the job so difficult."

OK so they cops shot him twice and then, because the boy reacted by hitting the gas, the fucking cops shot him 11 more times.   But it's all in a day's work because these are fluid situations?  That's the defense for shooting first in a residential neighborhood like it was some kind of war zone?  That cop should be shot in the head as a warning to all cops who don't think they have to think before they pull the trigger.  If the law is not going to do anything about it, I promise you that at some point the people will.  This is just ridiculous and I am happy to go on record saying that if they killed my family member in this fashion that the money received from the city would be used to get revenge.  There is no way the cops are going to stop until they realize that a bad shooting will be avenged.  Period.  You dumb fucking cops need to wake up and DEMAND that the shooter in your ranks be tried in open court for this murder.  How much more of this do you think people will take?  How much anger do you think is coming for you once the Global Debt Ponzi goes into collapse?  And you will deserve everything you get.
