Arizona Cops Execute Unarmed Man That Had His Hands In The Air

by: Thomas Jefferson

Warning actual live video.

When did it become ok for police to execute unarmed men that have their hands raised in the air in the act of surrender? Are the police now taking on the roles of judge, jury, and executioner? What ever happened to our right of due process, and a jury trial? Welcome to the new America, ( The New China of the 21st century.)

Stop Resisting Execution: Cold-Blooded Arizona Cops Assassinate Suspect with His Hands in the Air.

For absolutely no reason other than “because they could”, cops in Pinal County, Arizona executed a suspect who was standing there, not near any of the officers, with his hands in the air, offering no threat whatsoever. Without trial, judge, or jury, they simply assassinated the man, as his family looked on in horror. Warning: There is some graphic violence in the video below.

This is your police force, America. Protecting and Serving you to death.

Sometimes we get letters or comments from readers wondering why we are so hard on cops here at The Daily Sheeple. They call the staff writers “cop haters” and “anarchists”. The readers say that we spend too much time “bashing” police officers who have such a “difficult and dangerous” job.

Are there some good cops out there? I’m sure there are. I am certain that some people go to the Academy hoping to do right and to help others. But…they have to know their “brothers” are doing these terrible things. What are they doing to put a stop to it? When you accept an action, you are deeming it “acceptable”, no matter how passively. And that makes you just as guilty as the person perpetrating the action.

So, why are we so hard on the boys in blue? Because they are the ones that are supposed to enforce the rules, and thus they must be held to a higher standard.

The video was shaky and not in focus. It is hard to determine a) what is being said, and b) what the person being shot may or may not have been doing.

Again, as r1derbike said, no comment until further information.
 
Didn't it look like that he was going for the back door?

looked like he was stopped, then did a right turn going for the front door when they initially started firing. then hands went up after the firing started...just saying what it looked like from my view.
 
Really don't have enough of the context to make this declaration. He seemed to be the focus of a pretty serious chase (unless there was a donut shop a few hundred feet away) - why? What happened previously? What is his history?

I have no idea why he turned to the car rear door. Did he ignore police direction?

Really hard to call without a lot of additional information.

"The Sheriff’s Office says the shooting was justified. Spokesman Tim Gaffney said Manuel Orosco Longoria indicated during a pursuit that he had a gun and that he would not be taken alive. Sheriff Paul Babeutold Channel 5 (KPHO) that the death appeared to be “a case of suicide by cop.” In a statement, Babeu said Longoria appeared to reach into the car for a weapon moments before he was shot."

"On Jan. 14, Eloy police responded to a report of a stolen car. There was a 72-minute car chase that ended with a collision, a standoff and Longoria, 40, fatally wounded on a residential street."

The police can probably be expected to be a bit edgy after chasing you for 72 minutes after you steal a car....

Thanks for the link. More pieces of the puzzle.
 
He did turn and try to access the car through the drivers door. As soon as the shooting started he turn around then dropped. With the additional post from the swabby. I'd say the facts speak for themselves. Thanks CMDR for the added info.
 
They were aware he had a gun, what if he was a little faster and managed to come back out of the car with that gun, and get a rd off and hit cop, sorry but with the available evidence can't fault the cops on this one yet

From the article it appears as if he somehow communicated to police that he had a gun; when, in reality, he did not:
"The Sheriff’s Office says the shooting was justified. Spokesman Tim Gaffney said Manuel Orosco Longoria indicated during a pursuit that he had a gun and that he would not be taken alive."
"No weapon was found."

One more example why I keep my mouth shut about any gun that I might have when interacting with police, when I am not required by law to disclose it.
