How long are you guys going to tolerate this?
I find it interesting that the comment was made by the Police Union when he said they (cops) have civil rights and they are innocent until proven guilty. Apparently they are protected by the US Constitution. Where was the rights and protection for the man who was killed? I have to say that at least the other cop that was there didn't try cover up what had happened.

I AM NOT CONDONING THE ACTIONS OF THIS MONSTER BUT....
This story has already been covered. It looks like it took place in October of last year so please lets not take the same story, post it again and make it look like it happens all the time.
Already covered here on ATS
We have already determined that THIS police officer in particular was way out of line and deserves the full extent of the justice system's punishment.
Infact, this story in a confirmation that good police will blow the whistle on the bad ones.
Reposting this issue only serves those that wish to paint all police as bad and their attempts to say this kind of thing happens ALL the time. Which is untrue.
Whoa... This does shock me, coming on the heels of the other recent incident where an Iraqi combat vet was shot to pieces by a raid team...also in the Phoenix area.

You have fallen into the trap the author lured you into.
The original incident happened in October 2010, not right on the heels of the second incident which is a little more recent.
Yes this case if from 2008. This is also not the first sign of trouble with this Officer. In 2005 he was caught on camera planting a crack pipe on a homeless, mentally disabled person and you can find that 2010 thread here on ATS as well www.abovetopsecret.com...
I mean, the cops do things like that ALL THE TIME. You know, shooting kids coming at them with a screwdriver, that kind of thing. "He was threatening me with that butter knife, so I shot him" They are DISMISSED FROM ANY CHARGES EVERY TIME.
