I don’t know what to believe about this case. He had a history with the police. Six months before he died, he was arrested for robbing a restaurant, running around naked, and charging an officer. That video is right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0bv696-d2Y
But, is there a full video of the night he died in police custody? I can’t find one.
This is a new challenge the police have. In the old days they could deal with “repeat offenders” that they all knew about with “discretion” like they showed in this case. But that was when everybody just “believed the cops”. Thanks to cameras, we live in a different world. And with multiple witnesses at the scene that say they saw none of what the police describe the diseased doing, these cops may be in big trouble.
Even though a person may be a “known repeat offender”, it’s looking like the days of meting out “street justice” even when they were not caught red handed is a thing of the past.
Hey! Steve Raible is still on the beat! I haven’t seen him since the 20th century.
