Pasco, Washington Police

With just 59,000 residents, the Pasco police department in Washington state have shot and killed four people in the past six months—more than police in the entire United Kingdom, which has over 80,000,000 citizens, in the past three years combined. In fact, Pasco police are on pace to have more police shootings than Germany, also with 80,000,000 citizens, over the current 12 month period. (emphasis added)

On Tuesday, February 10, three Pasco police officers shot and killed an unarmed man who had been throwing rocks. It’s hard to imagine, if the American public was told the below video (see video on site) was from Iraq or Syria or Cuba, that our entire nation wouldn’t be disgusted at the abuse of power and unethical use of force to senselessly kill a man.
