Police Murder

The police have a hard job. I know I wouldn't want their job. But some police go power mad. They become brutes with badges. Here is an example from New Year's Eve in a BART station in the San Francisco area:



Here is the raw footage of an interview with Karina Vargas who taped the killing from another vantage point. Her video misses the actual shot, but her discussion with a CBS television news crew is very interesting, watch this: http://cbs5.com/video/?id=43974@kpix.dayport.com


Canada is guilty of these police crimes as well... Here is a police killing that happened in Vancouver in November 2007. At 6:15 into this video, you see 4 beefy RCMP come in to "take down" a passenger who is speaking a language nobody understands. This poor Polish guy didn't speak any English. He waited for 6 hours for his mother to meet him at the airport. She was at the airport but they wouldn't let her into the "secured" area and they didn't put any effort into letting her get into contact with her son. The poor Polish son became enraged. Rather than offer him food and water and a translator (the airport authority has translators on staff to deal with just this kind of situation but nobody called them in to deal with this case), the RCMP police tasered him multiple times until they killed him. After this incident, there were cries for a public inquiry. There was none. Nobody was held accountable for this death:
