    When the car began to move in the direction of one officer, who was standing in front of the vehicle, he fired a single shot into her windshield, killing her, the video shows.

    Every police or military instruction manual, training, and just common sense will tell you not to stand directly in front of a vehicle of someone you’re going to antagonize. Premeditated murder, every time a cop kills someone like this it’s intentional. And he was found not guilty.

    Death to the pigs cool-zone

            They kill at least a few people every day, not necessarily straight up murder like this, but they almost certainly did. Wikipedia with data from the Washington Post tracking of police killings says they kill around 1000-1200 people per year in the US, but they aren’t required to report it to any kind of centralized database so the true number is luckily much higher. Coronors aren’t required to list if police were involved in the death and often help cover up police crimes.

            Interestingly in 2024 it was 1406, up from 1092 in 2023 and down to 1289 in 2025. In 2010 it was only 387, climbing to 1060 in 2013 and has stayed around there since. I wonder if this massive increase is related to the increased availability of cell footage. Between 2005 and 2019, 18 were convicted of manslaughter and four were convicted of murder.
