A lot of rent-a-cops are regular cops off-duty, so I wouldn't be so sure.

I wonder if the trying of investigating LEOs escapes them?

If that rent a cop was ever a member of the FOP hes going to slide like a bobsled.

Fox news is probably hard at work trying to find pictures of him on social media with a gun, or drugs, or anything that gives them the "he was no angel" narrative

All of them seem to be using the passive voice to. They should say something akin to "Video shows security guard pinning and killing black man."

Have you heard about the guy who police poked gently several times in the head with copper clad lead rods? He actually fell tragically to his death.

Then there was another instance where a guy fell asleep forever right after cops made big noises coming from their hands.

It's almost like conservatives are racist.

A lot of time, the justification to dehumanize comes from the news media, a religious figure, or some close relationships. Treating someone like they’re subhuman is a cultural thing, and people who do it do so with the understanding that they can “get away” with it because they have safety in numbers

Psychopathy is shockingly common. Technically, only 5% of people are full-blown psychopaths, but like all brain disorders it’s a spectrum, and everyone falls somewhere on that spectrum. At least 30% of the population exhibits sub-diagnostic psychopathic traits, such as an indifference to lying or a lack of moral compunction.

What people don’t understand about psychopathy is that it presents as an indifference (or an unresponsiveness) to empirical and normative facts. That is why psychopaths just do whatever feels good (which might include tormenting others), why they might be obsessed with money or power other pleasure-oriented goals.

The rules of war should be taught to all authority figures, they should also be forced to abide by them.

Once an enemy has been rendered combat ineffective, you are required to stop fighting them and render aid and security to them.

Unfortunately, it doesn't take very much to turn people into beasts.

Geee I wonder, maybe it’s the rampant disassociation with real tangible society and social norms, increasing calls for violence by political figures/service in the military, mental health crisis, I mean…

Really just take your pick. The reality is that society is not being treated and/or seeking treatment for mental disorders and are too busy stuffing their faces with addiction of a wide variety.

We are not okay.

That's standard racism. Look at history. It's standard.

but but but what if someone who only earns 5 figures needs to use a restroom without having booked a room 😨

Hotels/inns/taverns having dedicated security is pretty universal since like always? I’m not defending what happened here in any way, but balking at the idea security guards in general feels almost hilariously naive.

always pride. microscopic egos.

We should never assume the best in cases of homicide. The cops have taught us that quite clearly. Maybe he wanted to be a hero, or maybe he wanted an excuse to shoot someone and took the first chance he got.
