The officers did nothing but mill around while the guy blead to death!
Compassion for your fellow man ? Think again !

off topic, mybad

OP, for the purposes of maintaining your own credibility here, perhaps you should post your news from a source who is not completely anti police.

The headline of the article is completely false, and this is evidenced even within the lines of the source's biased article. The suspect was being investigated for some bus fare incident and he then chose to FLEE. The police say he fired a gun at them and they found a casing. Later, they found a gun. Police do not start their day off supplying themselves with shell casings to plant just in case they need to plant evidence at a crime scene in the course of their shift.

Secondly, did you people see the environment the police were in? They were NOT in a police-friendly neighborhood, and after the shooting, they found themselves being approached by an angry crowd, putting them in a very dangerous situation. I'm sure an ambulance was enroute immediately after the shooting, but, quite frankly, they did not know if the suspect was still in possession of his gun or not and he was still moving and lifting his head up, even after being shot. In addition to that, there is an angry bunch of witnesses moving in on the cops and they had to keep an eye on them for obvious reasons concerning their own safety.

We didn't see the beginning of this incident. We don't know why the guy chose to run (perhaps he was wanted for another crime). We don't know if he shot at police, but, frankly, I tend to believe he did since they shot back and there has been evidence found that suggests this is true.

If police shoot a guy in an area that is not police-friendly, it is common that very few, if any, witnesses will say anything that supports the statements of the police. That's the truth. It's the way things are. To take these the witnesses' statements as fact based on this video and the evidence is not being prudent.

i will say this from seeing hte video knotice how none of them complaiend about being filmed and they were acting mightly polite with that unruly mob around perhaps they know that messing with a crowd that large is unwise

Portland cops are on edge because this thing is so common. They get a free pass from their peers and uppers but the folks are getting restless over the crap they have pulled. If they are worried about the crowd , what does that say about their rep? If the guy was shooting a gun back at the cops would not the folks in harms way be grateful for the intervention? I expect a bunch of police arse lickers to defend this but the fact is shot in the back,no gun until it is "found", and witnesses who say he ran hands in air and then was dropped. then cops stand arund ad let the guy bleed to death, no opposing story from the perp,eh? eat it up people,
seed

When SHTF we'll see pics of cops bleeding to death in the streets. Then I will be happy.

So let me understand your logic you hate them and want them to bleed in the streets because of the brutality of a few.



Have you ever looked up the definition of the word hypocrite?



You wish for them what you hate them for. Your hate has blinded you.



Cops have a tough job and some of them are bad. But most are good people with families and a dog just like you and me.

If they didn't let him bleed out and die then it would have gone to trial and then the sh!t would really hit the fan for the police department. A lawsuit and extremely bad press etc. But he's dead now so the winners write history.

I think the police just started a war.
