Short diary - Yesterday Omaha Police killed a bad guy (armed with a pellet gun) and for good measure they also shot a cameraman for the TV reality show "Cops". Thirty bullets sprayed out all over the place.

And what do you suppose would be the second thing to make the news about this story?
That the city won't have to pay for it - http://www.ketv.com/...
Police in this country are trigger happy. And predisposed to beat, shoot, disable anyone that is even a minor threat to their vaunted authority.
And for anyone that cares.... yes Omaha has a piece of crap evil to the core Republican Mayor... who I am quite sure voiced only concerns about if the city was going to get sued for this fuck up, (which is perhaps why that made the news so soon) and will never question the Police procedures that may have contributed to it. The poorer parts of Omaha, like the minority neighborhoods of North Omaha (African Americans) and South Omaha (Hispanics) are not Ferguson MO. Not exactly... but then again they are not that much different either.
