Initial local media police whitewash from January 14:
Mesa man dead after Eloy officer-involved shooting, car chase (AZCentral.com)
Policestate ping
Sounds a lot like “Suicide by Cop”.
But there are a lot of other factors in the incident I believe.
Cops fire two shots into him AFTER he raises his hands over his head in a surrender posture. Incredible.
Righteous shoot ping.
That looks like a bad shoot. The guy clearly had raised his hands hands high above his head, and he was up against the side of the car.
I don’t know all the facts, or the whole story; and that will come out in the investigation. But from what little can be gleaned from this video, this was a bad shoot by the police.
Ping for later.
One more time for the slow kids: Cops. Are. Not. Your. Friends. Some of you out there seem to think that the cop buddy you have will make sure you get passed over when it comes time to do the door to door searches and gun confiscations. What these people don’t realize is that the cop’s paycheck and pension mean a whole lot more to him than any of our rights.
Isn't the boyfriend cute? He's illegal.
Now this one is a legitimate example of police corruption.
And the value of cameras.
Orwell imagined that surveillance would only serve the state. He was wrong, it cuts both ways.
More graduates from the Fullerton Police Academy.
Kind of hard to be reaching for a gun with your hands clearly visible and over your head while turning your back to the cops.
A suspect gets shot twice in the back and the first thing the cops do is put him face down on the pavement so they can put handcuffs on him.
That’s not going to help the government when the civil lawsuit is filed.
5 beanbag rounds. Those things hurt like hell...how he was still on his feet is beyond me...
Anybody who would question anything the police do is just a cop-hater.
Admittedly I only did a quick scan, but I’m amazed that in the first 50 comments there hasn’t been a posting from the “cops can do no wrong” quarter saying (without irony) “well the important thing is that the cop can get home safely at the end of his shift”.
Looks like an “ignisecond” kind of event to me.
ignisecond – [Sniglet] the overlapping moment of time when the hand is locking the car door even as the brain is saying, “My keys are in there!”
Still Manslaughter, not murder.
The most dangerous thing you can do in the U.S. is interfere with a cop who is killing someone.
How about his dog?
This is what happens when the cops run out of dogs to shoot. (I’m beginning to wonder, with the number of these killings of dogs, people, etc, just how many of these cops might be jacked up on steroids, meth, or oxy.)
