Chicago cops are running a black site:

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/feb/24/chicago-police-detain-americans-black-site

quote:

Alleged police practices at Homan Square, according to those familiar with the facility who spoke out to the Guardian after its investigation into Chicago police abuse, include:
  • Keeping arrestees out of official booking databases.
  • Beating by police, resulting in head wounds.
  • Shackling for prolonged periods.
  • Denying attorneys access to the “secure” facility.
  • Holding people without legal counsel for between 12 and 24 hours, including people as young as 15.
At least one man was found unresponsive in a Homan Square “interview room” and later pronounced dead.

quote:

Homan Square is hardly concerned exclusively with terrorism. Several special units operate outside of it, including the anti-gang and anti-drug forces. If police “want money, guns, drugs”, or information on the flow of any of them onto Chicago’s streets, “they bring them there and use it as a place of interrogation off the books,” Hill said.

They have literally milliseconds to think of a response and if they for an instant believed they could be seriously injured then surely the use of firearms was justified?

Nope! There was no reason to draw the firearms in the first place, and surely two trained officers can restrain a single person, even if that person is wielding a screwdriver. Police in other countries handle this sort of thing all the time without murdering people.

I'm going to go ahead and remind everyone in this thread that police in other countries manage to handle stuff like this all the time, without using deadly force.

We should ban everyday cops from carrying guns, and bring in specially trained officers whenever more force is necessary (active shooter scenarios, etc).
