Yes hang the brain dead cops.
Happens a lot lately.
The one that called it in for sure. I don’t know why they call this a “prank”. Probably the officer too.
One of obozo’s boys...and not the first time he’s done this crap. I hope they charge him with murder
Almost everyone has a mobile phone today and area codes are meaningless.
My understanding is that these kind of calls are usually made to the police non-emergency number where the caller-ID blocking isn't such a big deal.
The article I read said that the call was probably routed to come up as a Wichita number.
If he called from a cell phone it is not surprising
My cell number is from Santa Clara county California. Have had the number for decades
It ain’t a land line nation anymore
> ...and that makes it all ok when Wichita police and SWAT show up, knock on your door and MURDER the very first person they see in the house. <
Absolutely this was murder. The poor guy was shot, the police say, because he reached for his waistband. And I doubt that even that is true. The guy probably just moved his hand randomly. We all do that when we walk, or even when we stand still.
An innocent black is right to fear the police. Hell, I’m an older white guy, and I fear the police.
I wish I could remember who it was, but another FReeper here said it perfectly: The police used to have a job, to make us feel safe. Now it’s our job to make the police feel safe.
“”””It’s the online equivalent of Road Rage. Everything just escalates.
I keep my identity hidden as do almost all gamers.”
I have been a member of many various online discussion boards.
Some were chummy, like the farm related ones.. Guys got to know each other, met each other at tractor pulls, farm shows, etc.
I never told them my real name or where I lived. I saw a number of instances where someone would get really mad at another poster and contact an employer and spread some nasty stuff or otherwise disrupt their lives.
Hey c’mon Appy, he made a threatening move! Just ask the cops that were there, they’ll tell you. Interesting how all these innocent unarmed people shot share one thing in common, they all make a movement deemed by the cops to be threatening.
Yep!
"...Wichita man being killed by police..."
“Probably the officer too”
Probably.....For sure the officer too.
They never saw a weapon.
Uncalled for
Any excuse for a righteous shoot.
In California? You jest!
> I want to see the body cam footage before I believe the “reached for his wasitband” line. <
If I were on the jury, that actually wouldn’t matter to me. No one should be shot for reaching for his cell phone, scratching his leg, or pulling up his pants.
If you don’t see an actual gun, you shouldn’t shoot. If a suspect seems to be reaching for his waistband, back off and assess the situation. Would this be putting the cop in more danger? Possibly. But that is, unfortunately, the nature of the job.
Just like a fireman rushing into a burning building is put in more danger. It is, unfortunately, the nature of the job.
The guy that made the call needs to go away for a long time.
The officer who shot a man with no provocation needs to go away for a long time.
Both are at fault. Both need to suffer the consequences.
Unfortunate on a deep level. But SWAT teams enter buildings with muzzles up, fingers on the trigger, jacked adrenaline. Chances are massively increased for any occupant to get whacked.
Extradite him to Kansas and hang him there.
