Should this officer (in RED) be reported or anything (particularly for the last line)? He made this post on a public facebook account and makes his job publicly available.

The comments were in response to this shooting:

If this guy does get reported what should his superiors do?

Poll: Should the officer (shown in red) be reported to his superiors

(Vote): No

(Vote): For what again?

The cop commenting on the 'alleged' murder, not the suspect.

EDIT for clarity: The officer who shot the man and the one who called it "Natural selection at it's finest" are two different officers.

I'm surprised that the guy didn't outrun those bullets.. He ran so fast!

Ontopic;

I think both cops, shouldn't be cops at all.
The cop who is shooting the guy, well I don't think that that needs to be explained.
The cop who is commenting, should be able to withhold his views regarding this. If he can't even recognize the absurdness of his collegue in this situation, he is another similar video, just waiting to be happening.

There's systematically something wrong in the USA if these people can be law enforcerers (not judging USA or something, theres fucked up cops in every country).

no, he shouldn't be reported. He's probably sick of all the anti cop media recently and is just trying to show the cops point of view

People should not be "reported" because of comments on anything. Stop making such a big deal of everything someone says, stop making people look behind their shoulder everytime their open their mouth or touch their keyboard. It is an attitude that slowly makes our society hell to live in, creating an atmosphere of fear and a situation where everyone can be taken down when he is not careful for a split second and says something that is not 100% politically correct.

I am in no way defending a cop that has shot a guy in the back and I am not trying to argue in favor of the cops in any way, I just hate even the idea of "reporting someone" because of a comment, that's all.

So many shots the guy wasn't even running that fast and given the response time of the next cop pretty sure you could run him down. Good thing he was charged for murder what make me wonder is would he have been if this video didn't exist?

Why are you even asking the question. When you say something in a public environment, you accept the consequences of what you said.

Holy shit. I guess even a guy on a wheelchair would get shot.

EDIT: Why is No the top answer and why did I click it without reading.. Dumbo jumbo Kurumi right here.
EDIT2: Since when "authorized to use deadly force" means "must use deadly force". I could do variety of things to people which are legal and authorized, but I am not compelled to. Sigh.

Internet and tasteless comments in public, then many of us should be shunned and burned on the stake everyday. A officer expressing his point of view on things and getting flak just because anti-cop media is the hot topic. Reporting someone for a comment, sounds laughable, but I'm sure the internet vigilantes are trying fish something up there to put these guys in the spotlight.

Frankly, this political and racial tension has existed in American society since existence and it will never end, just the techniques of instigating or enacting has changed.

There really aren't, though. I mean, I know you probably said that to not sound like an antagonistic foreigner, but we really don't have the same type of stories in Europe. What was the stat that I read the other day, US cops killed more people in march 2015 than UK cops did in the last 115 years?

You can say it's training, you can say it's something else, I don't really know enough to argue causality, but there's definitely something specific going on.

On what grounds should it be reported?
To me it's not entirely clear what he means. It could have a meaning in racial context, but nowhere in the text any reference to the guys' races. What I think is more probable (based on how I would use such a remark), is that he means that people who grab police belts' stuff are very stupid.
I don't agree with both at all, obviously, but the interpretation could have implications on how it will be received as a report.

"natural selection" does not mean that people who grab police belts' stuff are very stupid. It means that people who grab police belts' deserve to die.
But yeah I agree, I don't think it was meant in a racial context.

Starting to think the whole police academy training needs a whole re working in America. They are taught to use deadly force if someone tries to touch their belt etcetc. Well if that means you can kill someone if they fail to take anything or if they start running off after an attempt then there needs to be a re work of the teachings.

he didn't attempt to grab the taser

you can see at the start of the video he bats it away and is already running

there is no attempt to grab or be offensive, only defensive/escape posture

so what was the buildup to the event? if he was stopped for tail light, how is he half-way down a park, trying to flee from a taser?

the facebook officer's interpretation of the event appears to be wrong (black guy wasn't trying to grab anything from officer's belt; he clearly batted the taser away in a defensive motion and was fleeing) so it might be relevant to make sure the facebook officer is aware of this and see if his opinion changes


edit: love the commenter about the guy who videoed it saying "why cant we get decent camera people, this guy is shaking it all over the place"

I think he should be, because even if nothing ends up happening with his comment, the trivialization of murder and unnecessary violence at the hands of law enforcement officers are things that need to be brought to the attention of those who might be able to do something about it.

I'm not a fan of policing someone's opinions expressed outside of their job. Doxxing/causing trouble by claling his boss is lame, even if the person is stupid and callous and wrong.

At the same time, I have no idea why anyone would want to make themselves an easy target for a doxxer by making your place of employment known... or just dabbling in political posts on your profile.
