The Worst of the Police

Yep. The instant he started running around the other side of the truck he was a dead man. I can hear it now. I was in fear for my life because he might have had a weapon stashed under the fenderwell he was running towards blah, blah, fuckity blah.
 
I've never been able to figure out how any cop got away with being afraid for his life when the guy he shot was running the hell away from him. It's a bullshit argument. Imagine if I woke up to find someone in my house so I chased him out of the house and shot him halfway down the damn street. They'd lock my ass up.
 
I actually had a police officer tell me years ago that if I ever shot someone, make sure they're in your house.

If they're not in your house, drag them in there and then shoot them.

I was stunned.
 

SANTA FE, NM (April 7, 2021) – Today, New Mexico became the second state in the nation to abolish qualified immunity when Governor Lujan Grisham signed the New Mexico Civil Rights Act into law. In addition to eliminating qualified immunity, this historic legislation will allow New Mexicans – including the wrongfully convicted – to recover damages from the government when their constitutional rights are violated while also providing incentives for government employees to respect and uphold constitutional rights.
