You mean a fight happened, and the camera went off, and then restarted again during the fight? I know what happened. It didn’t go off. It lost a file.

See, I’ve got the “government” (probably not really government) surveillance on me (same as Trump actually, and get ready for an eye opener on that - I know what he is working toward revealing). As a result, for years now I record video myself everywhere I go, so I know all about this. And I have video failures all the time. A card gets jiggled and loses a contact, or a bump in the road jars the battery, and you lose the entire file before it gets finished and indexed, back to when it started recording. I record five to six cams every time I go out, and I can lose a file probably every eight to ten hours of video.

That camera lost its ability to record, probably because the card lost contact due to a shocking blow as the two of them hit the ground, and once it lost the file, it began a new file (they are usually 10 or 20 minutes long, end to end). It had already recorded a minute or two to the card, the camera got jarred in the fight, and the “kind-of-buffered” file was lost because it didn’t get indexed at the conclusion of its ten minute length. The camera, just like mine, immediately began a new file. And you lost some arbitrary amount of time in the middle which would have been recorded over because it was never indexed.

But that is beside the point.

The kid was telling him to get out the real gun, as he refused to follow simple commands. Try fighting, physically when you are 22 and training constantly fighting. It is a full body exercise that is about five to ten times as exhausting as sprinting full speed. You get a weird muscular fatigue of total weakness, unlike anything I have felt anywhere else when you start, until your muscles adapt.

In grappling, we were out hanging out when somebody asked if we struck during practice. My friend said, “You don’t understand - our arms are too tired to hit each other.” It was actually true.

Here you have a guy at 55 or 60, who obviously is not in peak condition from daily practice, with a kid at 25 who works physically in the oil fields, in the middle of nowhere, and the kid wants to scrum, and there are guns involved - and there is a gun in play when a kid crazy enough to want to scrum with a cop may just be crazy enough to kill that cop if he gets the upper hand. I don’t doubt that cop feared for his life.

The kid should have followed commands, and not acted like a psycho high on drugs, and then gotten into a physical fight.

Play stupid games and win stupid prizes.

Though I actually like you because you replied.

Thank you, AnonymousConservative, for the time you expended upon that explanation.

While I understood/understand what you explained and the methodology you used, I would still find it extremely suspect. The portion of the clip missing was the one that actually justified the killing. And that’s why it’s so important.

I would be upfront and honest if I were selected for jury duty and advise both sides of my inability to remove from suspect the actions which caused the shooting because of the missing video.

At no time would I want to risk being a dishonest juror. It would be paramount to the defense of the suspect and that would make it a must for me to be honest.
