Okay so this story has evolved and not multiple officers have been suspended for conflicting stories and falsifying a police report.  I wasn't trying to convince you that cops are villians. I was trying to get you to see that clearly this situation did not call for shooting unarmed people.  Its about you being able to judge a situation.  Its about the cop being able to judge a situation.  We need people with deadly weapons to think.  Without video footage had someone died, it would have been an absolute tragic situation. 

I wanted you to respect the gravity of the situation,  that a life was put at risk because of poor judgement. I have police in my family and as good friends. We know the importance of respecting your power to end life. We also refuse to not defend ourself against potential danger.  Its not a joke.  

I dont mean to come off as judgemental but i was shocked that you made it sound like an investigation needed to be done to prove that somehow its okay to shoot unarmed people.  I am telling you its not.  This should be self evident.

As a black guy i'm so glad I don't live in the US.

Strange bit going on here

20 mins for the ambulance to arrive, cops fault for them not getting immediate attention.

30 mins for the ambulance to arrive, cops fault for not being trained to give first aid for a shooting.

Like regardless of if the cop is 100% to blame here for shooting the guy (where was he shot btw? considering in the video he said it was like a mosquito sting and he seems generally okay in bed) but yeah that cop is first A cop and not a doctor, sure he could administer first aid but most likely he was in shock himself after realizing the mistake was made he was probably taken away from the scene since it is a horrible mistake to make.
But anyway, even then the cops who attended both men on the street, I would rather see footage of them standing there doing nothing before thinking to myself that they did that, think to yourself the only claim in the video is that he was left there to bleed on the street, after being shot of course you are going to bleed on the street, but that doesn't mean he was left there for the full duration with no attention given and again... he seems to have recovered well enough to give an interview rather quickly about the shooting.

But yeah This cop would have been in no position to administer first aid after this mistaken shot and he also is not the one responsible for it taking 20-30 minutes for an ambulance to arrive on the scene, blame the location of hospitals and ambulance staff for that time taken, the cop didn't go out of his way to make the whole emergency services work slower, he is just a (rather bad) cop.

Couple of cops are in no position to administer first aid? What's their job again?

To stop bleeding you don't need to be a paramedic. Police job is not only to pull trigger and apprehend suspects.

It's an impossible job. Nobody is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes at their job. It's just when the police make poor choices or errors in judgments, bad things can happen. It's human error. For every idiotic thing that liberal media likes to push about cops, there are several that save lives by putting their own at risk and go above and beyond. It's easy for people to sit behind a phone or computer screen and criticize these people, when none of them ever had a job which could put them in harms way. We need the police, and all of the keyboard commissioners out there aren't going to leave the comfort of their own home and risk their own lives, so don't demonize the entire force for a couple of terrible decisions.

I don't think I've seen anyone argue in this thread that cops are fundamentally bad and should be all punished. This isn't about cops in general, it's about this one cop who from what we know doesn't seem very good at his job.

While I want to agree with you in ways a cops area of expertise is not in first aid they're there to keep the peace and to call out emergency services as required. 

Fuck the way things are now for cops if one of them put pressure on the wound there would probably be clips of that used as footage on the news as police brutality on the guy. 

What are you even talking about? How can a video of policeman applying First Aid be made into an assault?

So you think videos are harming the police force work?

Right here we have a video of a man laying on the ground saying that he is the carer of the autistic man next to him, some people think this is, as the title says a video of a man with his hands up on the ground being shot by the police but the actual video has absolutely no shooting in it whatsoever so are you suggesting that videos cannot be taken have context added to them? even the quote of what the officer says in the OP is taken from an account of a man in hospital after the fact, guy who is clearly going to be on some heavy painkillers regardless of the location of where he is shot, but again, context removed and it's now being taken as verbatim of what the cop said on here again.

Are you not aware of how editing works in the media or... well anywhere?

Editing? How can you give the police reasonable doubt if both individuals are unarmed? You are quick to doubt the victims' word but can't admit that the officer was incompetent in this case? The Miami PD didn't even refute the fact or the story of the man but you are.

It's like you want to justify the shooting...
