Take him out back Christmas Eve. Because guess what? An innocent man was killed right before Christmas on his own property. Even if he had a firearm there is no excuse.

How are we supposed to protect ourselves and our families, from cops that just decide to recreationally end our lives at the barrels of their Glocks?

Yes, and in addition to shooting an unarmed innocent man, he also left him to bleed to death without providing help.

Maybe the most disgusting part is how they leave an innocent man that posed no threat handcuffed to bleed to death rendering no aid.

From their point of view it’s better if the ”suspect” dies, rather than being alive and able to dispute the narrative.

So they agree that police practices are fucking predatory towards the public.

Columbus paid the settlement because it's YOUR money not theirs, to buy votes. Remember, more money was paid out than in any industrial accident or anything else, to prevent riots, fires, and the most serious outcome of NOT paying it, losing the next election.
It's well known WHY Hill was there. He was there to see his 'girlfriend' prostitute Dystanie Lydelle and give her money for 'Christmas gifts for her kids'. I am NOT making this up. At 2am in the morning. SHe wouldn't let him in because another man twice her age (she was approximately 22 and Hill about 44), Bill Wadley, former OSU swim coach and the landlord, was ALSO abusing her. 'research their names' look up the criminal record of all these clowns.

Cops are so afraid of guns. They think the average civilian is a train assassin because thats what they are trained to think and what they say to each other.

So police kill, then we pay. It's like are our foreign policy: bomb, then provide "aid". The problem is that no one is ever made whole. Money doesn't buy you legs; it doesn't magically reconnect a severed spine; it doesn't alleviate the psychological trauma of being mistakenly sequestered by US Marshals. Some flour and jugs of water are poor payment for turning a community into rubble.
I say that cops should stop harassing, beating and killing us. I say we stop bombing other countries. But nothing will change. There are too many interests involved.
Moreover, collateral damage isn't a dirty word. US drone strikes kill between 7.5 and 15.5% of civilian non-combatants (innocent men, women and children etc). That is acceptable percentage of innocent death in pursuit of a bombing objective.
Every country has their political comfort limit unless of course the goal is genocide or ethnic cleansing.
Nicholas Grossman, Trump Cancels Drone Strike Casualty Report: Does It Matter?, War on the Rocks (April 2, 2019)
My argument here is that there seems to be an acceptable amount of "collateral damage" (read as unjustified police brutality against innocent civilians) within the borders of the USA to maintain "order". The pertinent question is what percentage of collateral damage is acceptable inside of the United States. The numbers are rising, and I don't see a systemic move to stop the increase.

The Empire is in decline, and as a part of that process the level of violence from the part of the regime increases, both at home and abroad.

After seeing the keys he said, F#$k... he knew an innocent man was dying and didn't give a F#$k, didn't want to die before christmas but had no issue killing before christmas.

Why was he even in that garage/driveway in the first place? These pussies talk about safety all day long and then put themselves directly into situations that would scare them. Like, you want to be safe? You don't want to get hurt? Don't put yourself into stupid situations. Where was his back up? Why was he approaching a dark garage alone? If that situation is so unsafe then don't fucking put yourself in that situation.
But we know why they do this. We know why they are constantly in fear for their lives. Because it gives them an excuse to kill. If they are constantly in danger, and constantly in dangerous situations, then they can fire their weapons at will with zero repercussions. They can kill as many dogs and people as they like as long as there is some "justification" that they pull out of thin air. It all makes sense why they act with such stupidity. Because it allows them to get away with murder.

Don't you start reasoning now. It's not like Andre Hill was there to visit a convicted prostitute and drug addict Dystanie Lydelle, is it? Of literally THOUSANDS of media stories on Andre Hill, there is precisely ONE that tells us why he was there: Columbus police records reveal volatile history at house where officer killed Andre Hill
And the authors were so afraid of their houses being burnt down and/or their personal safety, they wrote the headline about the 'house' instead of 'Andre Hill'. I am not making this up. The same reason the jury came back and found Coy guilty of murder. They FEARED for their personal safety. I'm black but we gotta OWN responsibility for our actions.
Coy had backup (Detweiller), but he saw a glint he mistaked as a revolved in Hill's hand. We can argue Coy should have been fired years ago but that's a DIFFERENT problem -- union grievance process makes it almost impossible to fire cops. But there still shouldn't have been a 10 million settlement paid out to Hill's family, most of whom are criminals with their own records.

Boohoo you killed a guy holding keys like wtf you crying about? You got off free anyway. Oh it was before Christmas so you’re saying that you should just kill anyone that has anything silver now?

u/shortaru Oct 29 '24
I don't buy that bullshit statement for a second.
Dude is really bad at the alligator tears.
I'd love to hear that ass try to justify refusal to render aid after he realized he shot an innocent man. I can't think of a single reason an innocent person would refuse to help someone they hurt "by accident".

u/Isair81 Oct 29 '24
I other words, he did exactly as he was trained. He saw a ”threat” and reacted immediately with deadly force.
The training doesn’t specify that they should make sure it’s an actual threat before shooting, instead they are told that any hesitation is certain death.
So, shoot first ask questions later.. way later, preferably after making sure the ”threat” is actually dead, and after talking with their union rep.

u/Suitable_Comment_908 Oct 29 '24
HAVE YOU SEEN ANY COP SHOOTING. they never render aid, i mean sometimes about 10 mins after they dead you see them get some gloves, and a bag from the car that was parked down the street, then they have a chat on the radio maybe a coffee. then they slap some patchs on the bullet holes

u/Beautiful_Leek787 Nov 25 '24
Actually there were two expert witnesses, the State had one that AGREED with Coy's decision, they hid/withheld that. As a result the sentencing is being postponed and Coy will likely get a retrial. We'll see if any of the jurors have the courage NOT to convict of murder or if they will act out of fear for their personal safety like the first set of jurors.

Personnel file showed 90 citizen complaints against Coy in his 19 years with the division. A decision by presiding Judge Stephen McIntosh kept Coy's personnel file from being included as evidence.
Well, well..... that is astonishing.

So how much media coverage has there been of WHY Andre Hill was there? His criminal record (theft, domestic violence). No stories have covered the Hill Family's criminal records. Only ONE story has even stated that he was there to give money to a prostitute and drug addict ('research her name') Dystanie Lydelle. And I am talking ONE out of THOUSANDS of news stories! Columbus police records reveal volatile history at house where officer killed Andre Hill -- there is so much fear about this story that the headline can't even read 'Why Andre Hill was at house', and has to be about the 'house'. It's tragic Andre was shot. He wasn't threatening the police officer, but he put himself into a deadly situation by acting suspiciously going into a garage at 2am in the morning. A law abiding citizen would have parked in the DRIVEWAY, rang doorbell and gone into house. Black lives DO matter. And that is why black (and white) RESPONSIBILITY, DISCIPLINE, and ACCOUNTABILITY matter. If we have those three, we won't be at a prossie and drug addict's house at 2am, and we won't get shot by a police officer (who was called because we were acting suspiciously). The media needs to stop reporting Andre was dropping off 'christmas money to a friend' and ALSO report on Bill Wadley (the landlord) who was ALSO (like Andre) over twice her age, SHE is a victim of abuse by mutiple men. At least in that case Wadley lost his position in an American swimming organization (he was retired OSU swim coach).

He didn’t want to die right before Christmas but it’s okay to kill an unarmed man before Christmas?? Make it make sense
