Ah, no. I believe Mr. Castile had a gun in his lap (or in his possession) and didn’t follow instructions.
I don’t think this is the right lawyer since the two cases are entirely different.
Bad move. Very bad move.
“Noor had his gun on his lap, the station said.”
Why would a cp have his gun on his lap?
“...was shot five times while cooperating with an officer’s instructions.”
Have you heard the recording from the police car?
If so, then you KNOW that the above statement is wildly inaccurate.
If you haven’t heard the recording you need to - quickly, in order to remedy your ignorance.
“Officer Matthew Harrity, told investigators he was driving in the alley with all of the vehicle’s lights off when he was startled by a loud noise, which authorities did not describe.”
Seems as if the cop panicked.
It reminds me of the time in LA when there was a crazy cop killer on the loose and a bunch of police got so scared they thought women delivering the paper in a truck were the guy and they opened up fire on the truck.
It was pure fear and panic.
But, we won’t know until there is an investigation.
They would be better served by hiring an old courthouse rat-in-the-barn because rabble-rousing is not and cannot be part of their case.
Dollars to donuts, the local authorities are doing ABSOLUTE ZERO investigation and exploration of the possibility of an ISLAMIC JIHAD angle to this murder. Hopefully the attorney hire by the Australian victim’s family will have the good sense to force this investigative path to be explored. Since the attempt to force the authorities to do such investigative steps will almost certainly fail (due the crippling effects of political correctness on the local governmental authorities) the victim’s attorneys should initiate said investigation and discovery on their own initiative. To get the necessary discovery approved/mandated, the attorneys will likely need to QUICKLY initiate a wrongful death lawsuit against both the Islamic cop and the local government and its officials.
It’s sad to see some FReepers themselves so crippled by political correctness that they automatically dismiss even the POSSIBILITY of this being an act of ISLAMIC JIHAD.
I have noticed that there seems to be no one asking about any statements his partner might have made. Yes, the killer in this case does have the right to remain silent to protect himself, but his partner does not.
Mussie scum with a badge and a gun.....what could go wrong?
“According to the state bureau, Noor’s partner, Officer Matthew Harrity, told investigators he was driving in the alley with all of the vehicle’s lights off when he was startled by a loud noise, which authorities did not describe. Harrity said Damond appeared at the driver’s side window “immediately afterward” and Noor fired, striking her in the abdomen. She died at the scene.”
Just like I figured, jumpy cop. Something went “Bang!” and suddenly someone appears at the open driver’s window.
Perhaps the ultimate case of bad timing.
