"All mass movements, as one might expect, slip with the greatest ease down an inclined plane represented by large numbers. Where the many are, there is security; what the many believe must of course be true; what the many want must be worth striving for, and necessary, and therefore good.
In the clamor of the many there lies the power to snatch wish fulfillments by force; sweetest of all, however, is that gentle and painless slipping back into the kingdom of childhood, into the paradise of parental care, into happy-go-luckiness and irresponsibility. All the thinking and looking after are done from the top; to all questions there is an answer; and for all needs the necessary provision is made. The infantile dream state of the mass man is so unrealistic that he never thinks to ask who is paying for this paradise. The balancing of accounts is left to a higher political or social authority, which welcomes the task, for its power is thereby increased; and more helpless the individual becomes.
Wherever social conditions of this type develop on a large scale the road to tyranny lies open and the freedom of the individual turns into spiritual and physical slavery."
- Carl G. Jung, The Undiscovered Self
Think about this for a while.

To tell you the truth, by law, they didn't do anything wrong. The law stipulates that police officers can use force if they fear for their life. After having shot a police officer point blank in the face, I would think they would make sure he was not able to assault anyone else. It might have been slightly excessive, but considering that in that situation they could have legally shot him, he got off easy.

no, its not police doing a good job, but that's the chance you take when you shoot someone in the face. im not going to lose any sleep over it.

cop took two bullets to the face for nothing but doing his job, dies
Carpio took some punches to the face for being a homocidal maniac, lives to tell his boys in the yard about it.

In most cases, if you have a gun at all, or injure a cop or his dog in any way, they'll probably kill you. Being roughed up is the least of your worries.

Props for shooting the piggie in the face!
This is kinda like the first murder trial my father had which he won. A security guard was confronting the unarmed client. Client felt threatened took his gun from him and blasted him in the face. Self defense not guilty! But I wish it had been a cop.

I did cringe when I saw how bad his face was,,,, but he did shoot a human in the face.........but this guy is lucky to be alive...and the fact that he killed a cop goes to show you that he is pure evil...no regards for law or human life.... he got what he deserved.

To the OP,
Are you trying to make a point here about how much authority the police has in the states? Because there are better videos to go with the quote you posted. In fact it is on youtube it is a video of an off duty police officer killing an unarmed individual in Chicago and the police officer was not guilty for manslaughter.
Zild
I think I should be able to vote for all of the first three choices. Since they were committing police brutality while torturing a murder and failing to uphold the law.

This is true..... bad choice of video Right off the bat, this guy is guilty and the cops showed restraint when the facts are looked at. They could of killed him and got off completely. But in the minds of "the people" they would of been justified. The cops bud and co worker was shot in the face. I would of let them off if on a jury.
There is a mess load of video better than this one to make a statement against the cops....
Zild
Seriously if they killed him nothing would have happened to them. But yeah I still don't think that would have been right. That would simply be the way the corrupt justUS system works.
