Student Shot by Cops for Smoking Marijuana
- Text size
March 16, 2009
Update: GVSU students protest shooting of Derek Copp, hold ‘Why was our friend shot’ signs – " A friend of Derek Copp, Karah Bradshaw, 19, said she has visited Derek at the hospital, and he’s up and talking. She said the bullet hit him in the upper chest, but the bullet traveled downward and did damage. She said there should not have been a drug raid of Copp’s apartment…"
"About 40 people had gathered on campus by 11:30 a.m., including student Ben Rose, a protest organizer and friend of Copp. Both lived in the off-campus complex called Campus View apartments.
"’We’re out here because we’re outraged at the police brutality,’ He also is spreading word about a protest planned at the Ottawa County Sheriff’s Department on Monday afternoon…
"The students shouted, ‘We want safety, not dead students.’ Sayings on signs included, ‘Our campus is not a war zone’ and ‘Why was our friend shot?’ Another said, ‘Police brutality.’"

March 16, 2009
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) – A Grand Valley State University student shot by an Ottawa County deputy told his parents he lifted his right arm to cover his eyes from a bright flashlight when the shot was fired.
He told them he didn’t know it was a police officer shining the light.
“He never even had a chance to even see who was coming at him, with a bright flashlight in his face,” Sheryl Copp, the mother of Derek Copp, told 24 Hour News 8. “He had no clue. He heard someone knock on his door, and he had no clue.”
The bullet entered the right side of Copp’s upper chest, broke ribs, ruptured his right lung and went through his liver, his parents said. It remained lodged in his lower back, nearly protruding through his skin, they said.
Doctors, they said, were planning to remove the bullet Friday.

I agree, no violence, but he have to stop glorifying cops and troops. I mean totally. Cops and troops need to walk away from their posts. It is no longer Patriotic to be a cop or a soldier. Cops and soldiers have become the enemy. Take off your badges and stripes, join the Sovereign Americans in their pursuit of Justice. There’s no longer any nobility in being a cop or a soldier.

Hey, freedomworks, did I hear you right? They’ve been “misinformed?” Okay, listen, COPS DO NOT ENFORCE LAWS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW THE LAWS. THEY JUST DO WHAT THEY PLEASE. Sorry, didn’t mean to scream at you there…now, as for the military, THEY ASK NO QUESTIONS, THEY JUST OBEY ORDERS. Oops, did it again… The people who enter the military or who become cops are, for the most part, intellectually challenged and deeply troubled, a LETHAL combination. One of Faulkner’s protagonists explains he always gave cops a wide berth because they are “sadistic parasites,” and truer words were never written. I recommend the OATH-KEEPERS site to everyone and I commend the men and women who have come to realize (or have always known) that they are in the service of a virulently evil and deadly organization and have decided they will defend the Constitution. But there are way more armed uniformed thugs out there who don’t want anything to hindering them from their power tripping, insane fun! No documentary, no site, no lecture will bring them to heel and both the military and the cops have now become real and present dangers to any and all citizens. Yours for 911 Truth

hey, bebe……. just talked to some police friends of mine last night….. here in KY… our local gov gave us up to the national guard, against the will of the police force…. the cops need to be reeducated just like the rest of america……. they wil be the only thing between us and the military….. so stop calling our human shields dumb….. they will uphold their oaths…. we just have to make them……. shame them into it if you have to…. remind them who they swore to protect. no one is so far gone in the system that they can’t be brought back. we all have the same emotions the same feelings…… we are all the same…… we are all connected…. you must love your enemy, as you love yourself….. we are all shadows of our true selves. the more you fear that which you fight…. the more the fight no longer belongs to you. talk to the police in your area… they deserve a chance to wake up as much as you did

Many would not follow orders to wage war on american citizens. If you’re so trigger happy, go on a one-man crusade.

Yoo-hoo Barnicle! I said, “For the most part.” Why did you think my fault-finding was aimed at you? Perhaps my statement about OATH-KEEPERS being on my ‘highly recommended’ list was not clear enough? See, this sort of proves my point. Obviously you are not intellectually challenged. However, your knee-jerk reaction to comments clearly not applicable to you reveals elements of that “deeply troubled” trait I referred to. A closer reading might assuage any doubts still lingering in your double-degreed mind. I have only one degree, so please bear with me. 911Truth

Luckely i live in the Netherlands, no questioning at gun point, small military, legal drugs (in user quantities), intesive programs for drugaddicts, legal prostitution, “rich” western country, health care for everybody, freedom of speech, total freedom of religion. In this elite ruled world its not a bad place to be, im realizing it more and more. Maybe morally rejectable for die-hard christians/muslims/whatever, but i dont really see the problem there. Thats why we invented the separation between church and state right?
Im just so anti Dutch royalty, Queen Beatrix living in an almost literarly ivory tower, her palace, with all the billions her family makes on exploiding Africa through one of the most terrible companies in the world; Shell Oil. Also the Nazi period isnt really something to be proud of here, netiher is apartheid etc
I also strongly believe the reason Bernhard founded the Bilderberg group (well, enabled them in ‘54), was because these royal elite serve absolutely no purpose whatsoever, and in my opinion dont even have an excisting right anymore after what they did during the second world war. In other words, pure boredom.
By the way, keep a lookout for the son of the Queen at the next Bilderberg conventions, Willem-Alexander, strong rumours here that Beatrix is gonna step down anytime soon. Somebody has to fill up her shoes…
The only thing is, about my idea of the Netherlands, how i see it, if it wouldnt be for the USA, who knows what other country would be the world’s superpower? But does it really matter? We’re all gonna have the same government soon anyway ! …
My compliments on your website, and this community. Im a big supporter!

Ah the War on Marijuana, what woke me up to how fucked up our society really is. My Great Grandfather grew cannabis, my grandfather grew cannabis, my father grew cannabis, and I grow cannabis, and what you gonna do about it, besides try and fail to take me alive? When you come looking for trouble, you will get just that. Fuck the guvment. Fuck socializing marijuana. Mind your own business punks. Watch your step, bitch ass, rippers, cops, and narcs, when your impaled down in a six foot deep pitfall, full of rattlesnakes, a couple miles from any access road, will the words ‘ Is this worth my life’, cross your mind? You reap what you sow. If the staph infection, and rattlesnakes don’t kill you, I will, when I drop a boulder on your head. Bitch.

You want to stop the trigger happy cops? Start a recall election campaign on police reform, have a full ticket to take over all the elected offices in your town or county or you will be veto’d. Win office and fire the chief of police and THEN YOU CAN WRITE THE OPERATING PROCEDURES. YOU WRITE THE RULES. YOU CAN FIRE ALL THE TRIGGER HAPPY ROID HEADS.
Go to my blog and look up “it’s time” and “recall election”.

What if that kid had been awake and alive for six hours after the shooting. His parents should have been notified. I hope he recovers fully and makes a movie that wakes up the sleeping giant into a backlash that finally ends the insanity of the drug war.
I wonder if it took six hours to get the warrant paperwork in order. Disgusting behavior by the POLICE STATE!!!!!
March 16th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
you must understand that this all being done to get a reaction out of us,the best thing to do is nothing,support the victem and his family.the cops will be dumb struck when the people dont react with hate.but only react with love and compassion.the officer who shot him will feel the full karmic affect of his actions as his life spirals into the depts of hell.this is how we will win.PLEASE DONT REACT THATS WHAT THEY WANT!,peace out….

If everyone that knows where a cop lives…Put on some gloves and DO NOT TOUCH the paper without them…and send them a notice that they ARE being watched and better FUCKIN’ behave!!! Here in Columbus, Ohio, back in the early 80’s, a local band called ROSIE did a song called “Mistaken” in which the fuckin’ pigs went into the wrong home and killed a couple people that were elderly!!! And our current, but, retiring police chief(James Jackson) shot and wounded an intruder outside his home…through the window!!! If I were to do that, 10years!!! But not for you FUCKIN’ PIGS!!! But at the same time I was in college when this occured and the Special Duty Columbus officers were in the bookstore…They were really bent that Jackson was NOT charged with assualt with a deadly weapon and deposed as the police chief!!! Good cop vs. Bad cop!!! And, the Mayor, had no legal authority to remove his soRRy ass!!! Go figure!!! You fuckin’ cops better realize this…No Kevlar On The Face!!!

Its not going to stop without a show of force– ie the people need to go underground and start to take out these licence to kill bastards— one at a time — take them out and be vary organized– and take them out one at a time and let the other pigs know that they are next.
Teh we can move on to the gov bastards– its time they fear the people—-

Hey Ralph!
I’ve never been to the old land, of my ancestors, in fact from my ancestor, whom was beheaded by Maurice of Nassau! He was Johan Van Oldenbarneveldt, and also since my mother’s people, survied by Pieter, J.V.O.’s son whom escaped, being of “a light character” escaped to protection of Isabella, the Spanish MOnarch in Brussels, then on to America. My people from that barnch lived in NY NY by my searching, then as I have their information, having moved to the then wilderness frontiers and majesty of the Michigan forests.
My namesake, which is also Dutch descent, refers to the other symbol of the Netherlands, which was replaced by the lion. Co-incidentally, my direct family of origin were involved in working for Royal Dutch Shell, in Canada, and from all I’ve learned about the directors of that company show me that the owners are a real work of cursedness. Does it seem to you the Hollands are cursed by their oversight, of those (so called) regals? I don’t like them, and by my study of history and my own geneological studies, they are undeserving of honor and evasive of the truth.
Say, brother, have you ever looked far into the origins of the peoples of the Netherlands? I have and found some very beautiful truths, as beautiful as the Dutch, in their smiling faces themselves: The peoples, mainly, in my learned opinion, are of the tribes of Zebulin and Dan, two of the tribes of ancient Israel! If you wish to learn more, go see http://www.Israelite.info and http://www.amprom.org where the good folks there can turn you on to some books, primarily Mr. Stephen Michael Collins’ The Lost Tribes of Israel and the companion 3 additional volumes. I await the next edition. They also have other very excellent books on the subject.
We are actually living ancient prophecy, which is so very very exciting to myself! The Holy Scriptures say, we would be blinded as to our own origins, until very near the Second Coming of Jesus. And when our eyes were finally washed of the scale, we would come into our true loving destiny! I do not believe the Royals will be served then, but will finally be put into their right places.
Seal from the horn…
P.S. Lets just hope and pray we come under the Government of God and not of the flesh such as our present “cursed” conditions. Lets pray for the right changes.
March 16th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
P.P.S. I will now say give prayer, to the Infinate, for young Derek Copp. Name sounds Dutch too…

A hand being raised…just demonstrates how paranoid the cops are. He expects guns in every fist, he expects weapons to fly at him. Who is making these cops so terrified that they’re basically shitting themselves day and night over imagined fears? I’ve never seen such cowardice in all my life. I suppose trigger-happiness is part of this, especially considering how the uniform can inflate the ego and create a sense of omnipotence, but I tend to have more faith in the inherent goodness of humanity, therefore, that leads me to point to fear as a culprit behind the itchy finger. Why are cops so fucking scared? Can anyone answer this? Are there daily briefings going out telling cops to be ultra-wary? Your badge alone tends to instill meekness in many, your gun the rest, and your own training in hand-to-hand self-defense should give you an ounce of confidence to know that you could easily overcome nearly any adversary short of professional fighters (a simple chicken-wing hold or a headlock is enough to stop even big dudes.) The trigger-happiness shows that they clearly have none of this confidence, they doubt themselves at every corner, in their heads they are castrated and impotent. So we’ve either got sadistic cops who get off on abusing others to make up for their own shortcomings, or coward cops who abuse out of excessive paranoia due to their own shortcomings. Cops need to grow some nuts and stop being bullies or sissies.
March 16th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
Seems like cops are real trigger happy right now.
What happened to innocent until proven guilty?
Now they just come in with the right to shoot anything that moves. Remember the dog getting shot?
Some of these people have babies.
Hopefully this cop is at this kids bedside and hope they don’t sue his ass off!!
Instead he may be showing his real colors and hiding behind his chief.
March 16th, 2009 at 1:50 pm
Derek get well young man. Grow up strong and take this moment and really take back your life and your rights and help set a precident. I hope your heart stays strong, we are all hoping for your recovery, this certainly was a tragedy in unimaginagle proportions, God bless you, your family and all your friends, you may, I think have many more now then you may believe.

What can you say to this? We are being murdered by those sworn to protect and serve and there is no more public out cry than a bunch of signs? People have to start taking proactive measures like calling for the immediate termination of the cops who do this and their superiors that cover it up. If we cant get the thugs and murders out by legal means, then it might be time to consider “alternative” methods of protecting ourselves.

The kid got shot because the cops had a search warrent. A “kick your doors, kick your ass, shoot you if you twitch” warrent. He was shot because the cops have developed an “US vs THEM” attitude. In their world everything is simple; cops are the “good guys” & everyone who is NOT a cop [or in a cop's family] are the CRIMINALS! A constant state of professional paranoia where EVERYONE without a badge is out to kill them. Give someone with this insanity a warrant & blood is almost guaranteed!
I’m just surprised a “Throw Down” gun wasn’t found to justify the shooting.

Not just “LEAVE”, what it amounts to is
the cop gets a “paid vacation” for shooting
an unarmed kid. What those parents need
to find out is which harebrained judge gave
the cops a warrant in the first place.
As for Derek, “he wants to make movies”.

i am not surprised. cops kill, they are to serve and protect [the government and the rich].
but here is what i want to adress to the truthers, whom i am and support comlpetely:
why is that when a cop kills a Black man or a Mexican and there is protest and outrage, so many White people dont support us.
why is it that cops are bad only when attck and kill innocent White people. this is the ONLY thing to me that the truth movement is lacking.
i hear too many truthers also say derogatory things about “illegals” and Blacks.
for truth and justice -Mexico is a Native American word

Did you know Dupont was behind getting marijuana criminalized. They did it because hemp would be a much cheaper alternative to nylon.
March 16th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
the cop was scared,thats why he shot the first thing that moved
gone are the days where cops were men,now we have frightened little men with guns who are trained to shoot first

Anyone else notice how there has been a dramatic increase in media coverage of marijuana related news lately? It makes me wonder what the agenda planners have in mind…
We’re coming to a point where people are beginning to notice the injustices in the drug war. In a “free” country, how does a plant become illegal? When alcohol, tobacco, prescription drugs, and even coffee, are rampant in this society, how does pot become so taboo? How many millions are killed by legal drugs, and how many are killed by smoking grass? Zero. Nobody dies from smoking grass, so why is it illegal?
Mr. Bob Marley often said that governments outlawed pot for a reason, and it is not because of public safety. Authorities know that one who smokes cannabis has a dangerous tendency to show some freedom of thought.
With that being said, I am skeptical as to why media is pushing pot related news lately.

I always thought it would be a great idea to start a group that simply goes around and protests sad situations like this over the country.
All too easily does the media forget about stuff like this usually the last thing you hear about it is” officer is on paid leave while the investigation is ongoing”
I really can’t recall any story where there is actual follow-up and more importantly officers being fired and charged with crimes.
So i wish there was a 1000 member group that had enough funding to travel around the country from one crime to the next and really have huge (peaceful) protests until something was done!!!
I think i read above that at some point there was 40 people protesting… Good job to them but it SHOULD be 400 OR MORE.
I keep remembering back to the bart cops who killed that handcuffed guy that was laying on his stomach….. handcuffed………..
WTF
I wish i could single handidly afford to get a movement going that simply protests police abuse and stuff like this. I think that it would take some big number of people to just show up and stay and not leave. Given the advances in technology if the media ignores us we’ll release the info to the public ourselves.
Remembering back to the past couple bilderberg meetings i realized that it seemed like there weren’t that many people protesting there either.
In another article on infowars today is talking about in the coming time people will be in the streets marching en masse due to the economic crisis; don’t be so sure.
I always hope people will starting banding together in large numbers but….
BUT let’s not worry and do remember that the American Revolution was started with a very small number of people as well.
Sometimes regardless of numbers it’s the idea thats important, but only sometimes!

Attempted murder then? The fact the those policing us are not held accountable in the least for their mistakes or misdeeds is extremely disheartening. What will befall this cop in the end? Most likely a change of location and a ‘fresh start’, and in the most extreme a change of profession. Jail time sounds a lot better to me.

It’s a shame that any information that goes to the white house press or otherwise is filtered so well that Obama and/or other presidents wouldn’t hear about things like this. Unless we speak up more often when in public spotlight.
March 16th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
They didn’t know if the cop felt threatened, they didn’t know if the cop felt threatened etc. etc. etc.. I have a question, as long as I feel threatened can I shoot the person and get off scott free or do I have to be a cop? I have another one, what about someone coming into my apt. without knocking or saying who they are? Am I a person who lives there supposed to throw my hands up and say your the police or are you fake police that are using the uniform to rob me or rape my wife etc. etc.? You know what I hope more and more of things like this keep on happening. Because people will start to see the police as not neccessarily helping them but as a gang. I think that the police in general have alot of people that want to do the right thing, but many shouldn’t be police because there are individuals in this country that should never be responsible for anyone or anything. Because of mental hangups with certain people, or revenge motif etc. etc.. And for the police that say many of us aren’t bad, why do you keep coming out with the same 1 to 3 phrases when a cop screws up. He may have been in danger, resisting arrest, the suspect is lying. But they never consider that the cop could have shot him because of adrenaline, or that the cops where lied to and wanted to kick butt on a “drug dealer”, or that they cop was thinking about actually shooting somebody.
They always look at the cop couldn’t have done anything wrong and not that the cop could have done something wrong. I will tell you right now, these men and women who are being put into positions like this and are being told that this is the way to act etc. etc., better look out. They are being set up to take the fall big time when it implodes. The elite don’t want to be known or want to be in front during a battle, because they know that countries change back and forth. They start, become wealthy, then are imploded and fall apart. The elite are using the police and the govt officials as alex has said, a rear guard force for them. So what will be left is a police state that is battling it’s own people over whats left and having to believe in what the elite told them to believe in. Even though the elite told them stuff that would help the elite and not them. They are being sold down the river big time.

You’re fired, doesn’t do it either. They have to pay for their crimes like the rest of us would have to. But the thin blue line is way thicker and wider and longer than they like to make out.

I feel stupid asking this , but is this a U.S. story?Last I knew Ottawa was in Canada so Maybe it’s Just the name of a U.S. county?I think it says MICHIGAN so that would explain things.Anyway a tech. loophole is you can’t be held responsible if you were just awoken and shot.If my door is broken in suddenly as I nap in my recliner shotgun by my side……?I am NOT legaly responsible for shooting the invader.A point nobody ever seems to make about these SWAT Styled POLICE RAIDS is that 1.Criminals can yell “POLICE” as they kick your door in.2.Criminals dress similar and Have guns when THEY do it too.3.Fake uniforms and Badges are easy to get. 4. Criminals also wear Bulletproof vests so go for the Face.That said? If MY door Busts open after dark The one who busted it will be there at Dawn bleeding.And if you’re a cop?Just knock and then come in It’s NEVER locked.My Guns are a HUGE reason we never lock a door when we’re HOME.And if you hurt My dog know that I WILL hunt you down and kill you.If I have to explain the LAST part then you never lived or grew up in the country.Yon NEVER screw with a Redneck Hillbilly’s DOG.Besides all mine does is BARK.I do all the biting arround here.And him waking me up when you come just might save your life.I say all this , because I moves from Brockton Mass to the Hills of Maine due to the fact that Gun control worked so well there that Only the cops and 13 yearold drug dealers can get guns.And I can attest 1st hand how it sucks to be an unarmed law abiding man in a damned warzone of a ghetto that USED to be a really nice neighborhood.After 20 years I said “FUCK this!”, and move back to the hills.And I am a former Active service Marine circa desert storm never saw the war until I went HOME.I was a Democrat since voting age and I STILL know Obama was a BAD thing.Not because he’s BLACK.Because he LIES WAY TOO BIG.I’d vote for Chriss Rock before Mcain , but damn.WHAT HAS BARRY EVEN DONE TO DESERVE THAT JOB?!I can name 50 black men I have know that BUST thier ass and I KNOW would do better.

Who, exactly, died and made the US federal government our babysitter anyway? The War on Drugs is just as misguided, costly, and plain counter-productive as the War on Terror, Poverty, and Global Warming. Things will improve only when we realize (and make our ‘leaders’ realize) that their job is not to “save us” from anything at all but tyranny itself.
March 17th, 2009 at 8:13 am
OK guys and gals. While I do go along with 90% of the news here, this story is NOT one of them. look the police had a tip of drugs at said address. They raid the address, which is OK in my book, you should not do drugs… (my public service announcment…) Now they shine a bright light in the guys eyes, which is done to off set the individual and NOT give him any targets by blinding him if he is hostle. At which point the story should end her with an arrest. but it does not BECAUSE THE KID IS STONED!!! he raises his hand to his face to cover his eyes, which depending on you angle a police officer could easily surmise he is going for a gun, and I for one would not like to find out. Let’s not paint a rosy picture of the situation the kid was doing a criminal act and it got him shot. Plain and simple DRUGS CAN KILL in mutiple ways.
College kids look for any reason to protest. While there are many GOOD reasons on this site alone, THIS story is NOT one of them. Looking from the outside in, if you guys want to win people over to the NWO theories, it is best not to be talking about all the token up and bowls you smoke. It really does not lend to your cause. In fact are you not just doing what the NWO wants? Dumbing your self down? Now THAT is ironic.. Come on poeple wake up and fight the good fight and the RIGHT fight.

March 17th, 2009 at 12:13 pm
alright to let you all know, there is more to the story….i’m a journalism major at GVSU where Derek goes. Yet again, INFOWARS reporting proves to be childlike at best. For one thing, the police have yet to divulge any details regarding the raid (knowing there will be a lawsuit, they have to wait for the trial). The raid which was carried out by WMET (West Michigan Enforcement Team) was a drug raid on a suspected dealer. It wasn’t as if they just smelled weed and decided to raid him. WMET carries out complex stings usually after watching them for a long time. I know this because before i started college i sold drugs and got caught and was raided by them…WMET although is highly unethical in their practices, they don’t just go and start shooting people….and it was and Ottawa County Deputy that shot him. I’m not justifying that kind of force at all…but sounds like a simple street cop tagging along on a SWAT style raid and was a little jumpy. But when you get raided, they do it with guns drawn…thats the downside of being a dealer. Now it’s not “proven” that he had drugs on him…but most around here highly suspect he was a dealer, whether or not they botched the raid, that’s just a general consensus.
Personally I think Derek was a nice guy, bright student, and probably sold on the side. I hope he gets well soon. But it sounds like a typical raid with a jumpy cop that freaked out by Derek making a quick movement. This is a highly religious part of the state. Although these cops HATE drug use….they have no desire to shoot everyone that smokes weed.
on that note. Legalize it.
I would like to divulge the complexity of WMET raids to someone. If anyone is interested in my story, email me at danielfochtman@hotmail.com

But the ones that are gand affiliated and countrolling the “real drug trade” where many people are dying at alarming rates. Then you have a pot dealer….wow, that really stacks up as a need to have highly trained nazi-police attack and control. Here is the deal bro, I’m sure you don’t see the hypocracy because your blinded to your own. But when Americans are shot in drug raids over non-lethal materials like mary-jane. That means things like what you are thinking are next. So when a cop kicks down your door for thinking something against the “LAW” and shoots you knowing that there isn’t a Judge alive that will allow a conviction. Maybe this story will be more important. Until then, look up the word “SLAVE” and then think of yourself in there.

dan, you are a mental infant if you can choke down the manure of police propaganda. They use “confidential informants”, basically paid/coerced snitches who will tell the cops what they want to hear. Truth has no importance to the modern US police officer. They are trained to see “us” as the enemy. Take, for example, the retarded police use of the word “civilian”. Everyone who is not on active military duty is a CIVILIAN!
Cops only care about what they can get away with, which, considering the spineless state of most “Merkins” is way too much.
Anyway, who said he was a dealer? Tips, warrants, and the testimony of police officers means nothing to me. Even if they didn’t find any drugs, you can bet one of them pigs had a pocket full to drop.

What If ?
Civilians start “accidently” shooting cops ?
One day soon, One of these accidental shootings “Of an Unarmed, Innocent Civilian will provoke armed conflict between “The People” and “The Establishment”.
Will You Be Ready ? Or more importantly, Which side will you be on ?

First off there HAD to be more to it then just one kid smoking weed. Cops do not break down doors with a tactical team because of one joint. The kids was most likley a dealer. Most dealers shoot back… Stop defending the kid. He broke the law plain and simple. The shooting was an accident due to his quick hand motions. You have ask WHAT brought the cops there.
Now why would you want and armed conflict against, what you call, ‘the establishment?’ Yes some cops are bad, but not many. Yes almost all have attitudes. But wouldn’t you if you always dealt with ass holes all day? As I stated the cops be on the people’s side. What you need to do is try the federal goverment for treason and excecute anyone you find guilty.

It is meant to push the people as far as possible and into resistance. Just another method of domination and subjugation. They need more that one button to push. You are going to get pissed off enough that you rise up and then they pray/believe they can dominate but with all the guns it will be hard. So pass the legislation, and give a amnesty period, then by attrition, void the fourth amendment and go to the homes to see.
March 17th, 2009 at 12:35 pm
Here we go, the second video just showed that the cops are so flipint about lighting up a “slave” that they don’t even care enough to start a cover up. In fact, the cop will get his paid vacation and a doughnutt bonus for shooting an unarmed slave and getting away with it. We all know that the kid will have to face some trumped up charges down the line and possible “battery of an officer’s bullet”. Fucking Judges are completely bought in and have no worries about their evil menion that are running the streets holding civilains hostage. The funny thing, about three blocks from there a MS-13 drug house that is harboring woman that were physically dragged from their homes in Latin America, tourchered, and made slaves in this country for the sex industry. So yeah, the reasoning of shooting a college kid over pot makes total sense to me. The cops and there “On Goning Investigation” are just too funny. It’s almost like the “Star Chamber”, just make up what ever works and feed it to the media, or in this case, just tell them it’s none of the slaves …. uhmm … people’s business. Don’t you trust us? Say the police….
March 17th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
Six fucking hours before mom and dad were notified……….huh, fucking retard goon cops were trying desperately to cover their low I.Q. asses! The shooter needs to be tried as a damn criminal and punished like a thug SOB that he is!!!!!!
March 17th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
They will blame mexico for the drug problem.lol
March 17th, 2009 at 2:18 pm
let them start doing that to people in chicago
March 17th, 2009 at 2:51 pm
this is not 100%, but i believe most of the people that are cops, that becoming a police officer is the biggest thing that has happened to them in thier life and they think they are somebody now because they are a cop and think that peopleshould bow down to them, and the badge and the authority go to their head because they know have a certain power over people that they have never had before in their life and they are going to use it because they are somebody know and by god we better do what they say, the kid in school that never was the big shot he wanted to be is the cop on the street today! give me someone that becomes a cop just cause that is how it worked out or it was a good opportunity, instead of the guy that has always wanted to be a cop and now thier dicks hard all the time cause they are a police officer!
March 17th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
If this were my son there would be one dead cop on the list
March 17th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
I use to attend GVSU from 2004-2008. The cops up there are pretty right-winged and obsessed with Christian ideology. They called in a swat team to raid the apartment 2 doors down from me, only to find a bowl and a 1/4 ounce of weed. The shooting occurred at Campus View Apartments, a mere 1/2 mile from where i use to live for two years.

he was just smoking weed, for f**k’s sake!! It’s just weed!!! That should not be grounds to be shot. WTF is going on here? This makes me so pissed off… I think I’m going to light up a doobie right now… I hope I don’t get shot for it.
March 17th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
That is absolutley fucking ridiculous.
March 17th, 2009 at 4:08 pm
Gee pot use looks deadly – if you get in the way of the drug war.
March 17th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
I hope the young man recovers completely and then sues the shit out of not only the department but then wins a civil suit that burys the hidden identity cop by forfeiting all his property and wealth and puts him in debt forever as well doing 20 yrs or so.
My daughter went to Grand Valley. The thug is lucky it wasnt her or he would be on someones steel table.
Ironic one cop shoots another Copp.
I cant wait for cops shooting cops.
March 17th, 2009 at 6:05 pm
Too bad he got shot, but, it was his addiction to dangerous narcotics that got this young man shot; don’t blame the good folks of the Ottawa county police force. If he was doing something legal, like drinking, he’d be fine right now.
March 17th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
It’s too bad the kid got shot, but if he wasn’t addicted to dangerous narcotics, this wouldn’t have happened. He should have stuck to something legal and safe like drinking and nobody would be shot…nuff said.
March 17th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
Are we suppossed to believe that people who smoke cannbis are dangerous criminals?
looks like the legislators have their head in the sand.
In case the federal government has not noticed the reason there is a war in mexico is cause of this war on drugs, since the government won’t listen to their citizens any more I’ll just go drink some fluride and get vaccinated with some real poison the government puts out and after that I’ll pack my bags to get ready for when they come to give me a ride to a FEMA camp
thanks for the help.

The old and the weak will become, or already are, sheep…my advice is to pay attention, be prepared, and find like minded people to connect with locally… by prepare, i mean really get ready for ISHTF…buy a battle rifle NOW, and learn to it….stock up on ammunition…be ready to deploy…train, get in shape physically…in the meanwhile, be “the grey man”…go about your business, be invisible, and never take your eyes off the prize, which is your freedom to do as you will without encumbrance…the damned Iraquis have killed over 4000 American soldiers, the Viet Cong killed over 50,000. If anyone attacks AMerican Citizens, it’s on and righteousness will prevail. If you’re convinced this is going down, don’t do anything single handed…just get ready…make some sacrifices to buy a weapon…I sold my guitar, my dearest posession.
March 17th, 2009 at 8:57 pm
that is ridiculous.
shot for smoking some herb?
who does that?!
there is a drug war in mexico, and the dealers are winning.
GIVE UP. THE WAR ON DRUGS HAS BEEN LOST.
VIVA REVOLUTION

If they ever come to my door for my guns…what guns? Not only that…I don’t live here…things may improve, they may not…chances are they won’t improve, so just have a plan in place to take care of yourself and execute the plan..but don’t wait too long, time’s a wastin’…
March 18th, 2009 at 12:40 am
hope that cocksmoking cop gets a bullet to the face soon
hope the pot-smoking victim here recovers and continues to smoke weed
some cops are good and useful, but a large percentage of them are power-abusing pieces of shit like the Ottawa County fuckface in this story.
the cop should go to prison and get ass raped

WHO IS THE KING OF TEXAS
I will show myself on April 22 in Waco Texas at the massacre site. I am calling as many Christians of this nation who can find the time to come and see what it is that you don’t even know that you want.
I have the answers for the Christians who have never been defended by their government but have rather been oppressed by their so called government of freedom.
I also have the answers to the current generated economic crisis. This is a peaceful gathering for YHWH our God. But you might want to bring a firearm just in case. After all let us not forget what they did to us in Waco. MAY OUR LORD JESUS BE WITH YOU FRIEND.
I realize it is off topic please forgive me.
March 18th, 2009 at 8:13 am
“Protect and serve”? “Administrative leave”? You mean a fucking paid vacation for almost killing a harmless teenager smoking some pot. Punks for paychecks.
Legalize drugs= bankrupt the CIA side cash. Drugs are also kept illegal to use as an excuse to oppress the people.
But hey, you can still be “free”. If you live in a fucking igloo at the North Pole……
March 18th, 2009 at 8:46 am
Thanks but we don’t really want the mind control or the systematic poisoning of our brothers and sisters
we are entering the new dark ages and the planet is due for purging the out of control slave masters.
March 18th, 2009 at 8:51 am
i had a friend that was wrongfully shot by cops and then they altered the tape and got away with it.
March 18th, 2009 at 10:01 am
What’s with the red laser beam all over my chest? Oh yeah…I better put my bong down.
What a friggin joke. This country has lost its mind..literally.
March 18th, 2009 at 11:32 am
I am with ya on that one brother
March 18th, 2009 at 12:05 pm
The boy might get revenge on the cop, when we see cops coming we know they are just killers, so what do you think should be done about it? it is happenning all over. that is why they want to take guns off us people, so they not be scared of revenge for their bully tactics..teach your children what cops are like, and not to trust them, put them in their true place as not part of the human race,
March 18th, 2009 at 12:43 pm
THESE COPS SHOOTING CITIZENS ARE JUST PATSYS FOR THE ILLUMINATI. THE ILLUMINATI WANTS CITIZENS AND POLICE AND MILATARY TO FIGHT AMONG EACH OTHER AND TO HATE EACH OTHER AND MISTRUST THE OTHER. IT IS ALL A SET-UP.

We have the entire world on our side. We all need to hang tough and stay alive for time being. I have one sugestion that just may save someones live. We should all wear baseball caps that say police or Marines. I am a Marine and have found that police treat me nicer knowing I am ex Military. Even if you arn’t, give police pause before shooting you.
March 18th, 2009 at 3:37 pm
I’m down for wearing a cap that says “who gives a fuck”. The average human life span is 80 years and people are worried about legalizing a drug that is dealt by middle schoolers. There are bigger problems than 1 stoner getting shot at because of police ineptitude too. This shit could be cleaned up with a bit of self control and knowledge. As with all dirty jobs like the police, they pay like shit and we get the worst people to do the work then complain when something goes wrong. Retarded major league baseball players get paid way more than our military does. Our order of operations is backwards. But wait…this has always been the case. Just be glad you were born here where some of our leaders still value being left alone and leaving others alone. Remember, it’s only going to get worse too. Sleep tight.
March 24th, 2009 at 8:00 pm
This story angered me just reading it. Cops are the people who can shoot someone on the ground 4 times and blame it on adrenaline, but still get payed. Anyways I’m visiting a different country when i get old enough. Toke it up
P.S.- He should sue the shit out of the popo
March 24th, 2009 at 8:02 pm
drinking is worse… you can die wayyy easier
