You'd think that traffic cops, being out in traffic all day every day, would be able to distinguish one vehicle from another.
You're being too kind to these murderous fucks. Have you heard the tale of Chris dorner?? Dude gets fired for reporting excessive force. Dorner starts killing police. In their manhunt, they shot an elderly woman and her daughter for "matching the description".
A white male, also "matching the description".
When they corner him in a cabin, they burn the whole cabin down with him in it.
Yeah Dorner got screwed, but let's not pretend that he only targeted cops.
If I recall, he murdered several family members of cops (adult children, etc.). Maybe I'm forgetting part of the story but I don't think they deserved it.
Yeah, in his writings he specifically wrote he was going after the cops and their families that wronged him, but i just used him as an example of cops can't identify shit and will attack anybody "fitting the description". Like Dave chapelle once said, "calling all cars, be on the lookout for a black male between 4'7" and 6'8".
Though, as we see here, it would be more accurate to say "be on the lookout for a black or brown or slightly tanned male or female or person of ambiguous sex, between the heights of 3 and 7 feet, between the ages of 5 and 105. Suspect should be considered armed and dangerous, and may be hiding in any home. You should consider yourself to have a-priori probable cause to enter any residence, or discharge your firearm in any direction you feel appropriate at any time."
