Police chief drops case against mentally ill Rylie man
The Dallas police chief has ordered an assault charge dropped against a mentally ill Rylie man who was shot by police for no apparent reason outside his home.
A police report says that Officer Cardan Spencer fired on Bobby Gerald Bennett, 52, after Bennett walked toward him and his partner with a “knife raised in an aggressive manner.”[SNIP]

General member of the public is caught on CCTV doing something illegal, and it's guilty as charged. Video does not lie.
Coppers do something and is cauight on CCTV and it's "Well obviously there is more to this that we can see on the video. We need to do a thorough and meticulous investigation into this that may take months, and while we do this, we'll put our heroic officers on paid administrative leave. A holiday of sorts, if you will, for reducing the population by one. Even if they failed in their duty to murder the man, the intention is what counts. Paid holodays for all! Hurrah!"
How much more blatant does it have to get. They are literally pissing themselvesz laughing at how they're getting away with all of this. Time and time again. It's so far beyond the boy who cried wolf, they're all running around wearing wolf costumes and screaming "We're the little pigs now, let us in oh let us in!"
to confuse a metaphor or two.
“They said they would send special-trained officers out,” Jackson said.

Seeing something like this and a post that was on ATS the other day covering this I believe made me come to realize one thing.
I've always felt bad for officers killed in the line of duty but now have to look back and wonder if they didn't have it coming to them for something similar.
And a question don't all police cars have dash cams? Why would the police chief drop charges due to the security cam. The dash cam should tell a much more specific story with everything said and all right there for him to act on.

Notice they took the "To Protect & Serve" off the Federally Funded black cop cars of death.
It's getting crazy out there.
