This one in Akron will probably warrant a thread on its own. My first info on it was the released bodycam footage. It looked pretty standard until the end, when (already verified) eight police officers shot an unarmed man at least 60 times. I thought the chief said "16 times" even though I'd...

http://www.hesbah.gov.sa/disapprove.asp According to wikipedia, this is a site where Saudis can snitch on each other about various religious crimes. Can anyone translate Arabic? I can think of a couple choice words I'd like to direct at those douchebags.
