The problem with cops is a percentage of them are stupid and belligerent. What needs to be fixed is the hiring procedures, to begin with. Look at those cops a few days ago who chased a hijacker of a UPS truck in afternoon rush hour traffic in Miami area, and started shooting indiscriminately between stopped cars at a traffic light. The UPS driver died and someone in a car, along with a bystander and the hijackers. If you look at the scene, it was chaos created by these idiots who never applied what they learned in training which is that it is not only the target that matters but what’s around and beyond.

No one knows yet whose bullets killed the three innocent victims. Here some quotes that highlight the debacle and police irresponsibility:

“ Officers used random vehicles in the traffic as cover amid the crossfire.”

“ It was inappropriate to speculate whether police fire may have killed Cutshaw, Piro told reporters at the news conference.”

What an ASSHOLE.

Two families will never be the same.

Teen fatally crashed ATV after cop used stun gun; family wins $12 million settlement

Detroit Free Press

DETROIT – The family of a Detroit teenager who died in a 2017 ATV crash shortly after a state trooper deployed a stun gun on him has settled its wrongful death lawsuit against Michigan State Police for $12 million.

The settlement will go to the family of 15-year-old Damon Grimes, who was driving his ATV in August 2017 on the city’s east side when the trooper, who said he thought the teen was driving recklessly, fired his stun gun at him from the passenger seat of a moving patrol car.

Damon then slammed into the back of a parked truck, and soon after died from his injuries.

Damon Grimes, 15, crashed his ATV on Aug. 26, 2017 after being tased by a Michigan State Police trooper.

In May, the now-former Michigan State Police trooper who used the stun gun, Mark Bessner, was sentenced to 5 to 15 years in prison for involuntary manslaughter. It is a violation of Michigan State Police policy to deploy a stun gun from a moving vehicle.
