You mean in regards to the Hindenberg disaster?

There are other threads, and news stories where it all is revealed if you really want to know.

This is the essence of the whole event.

His deliberate modifications of the crime scene make it look more like Murder One.

Here in NYC, police may shoot a fleeing felon.

If that felon happens to be shooting a gun over his shoulder at the police or is using deadly physical force against others.

Yes, what we “know” so far. But I’ve noticed the press seems to modify the story as time wears on.

I would normally be amused over your insistence that any disagreement with you must be from lack of knowledge on my part, because your terminal narcissism is too tempting not to point out.

But the problem is that I know that that is just a cover story for what your really are - a disinfo shill pushing bias under theoretical interpretive possibilities.

The fact is that the video clearly shows a murder, and the known supporting info does not support any of your theoreticals, is enough for now. It got the guy arrested, and it supports Occam’s Razor and plain old common sense - of which you think non-cops have none. The rest of your sophomoric fantasies can wait until you find a shred of supporting evidence for them.

No, you misinterpret what I said. I’m not referring to the known elements of this case. I’m referring to your categorical statement in principle, absent other information.

That is, you saying this:

“The legal criteria is as follows: A trained police officer calmly shooting an unarmed man from 30 feet who is running away eight times in the back is murder one”

...is, on its own, not necessarily a true statement. The actual legal criteria are such that there are circumstances where such a shooting would be legally justified.

If you don’t believe what I say is true, say so.

...also, circumstances where it would be illegal, but not necessarily murder 1.

I’m not sure if your post was banging me or not. I put up that idea strictly as a possible, (and I just saw a def. Att. on FOX bring up the exact same possible as I posted last night so maybe my ‘strawman’ wasn’t to far out of bounds huh?), NOT as what I think happened. Maybe I didn’t explain what I meant correctly, (the old brain isn’t working to good lately), or maybe I did not grasp your post’s meaning properly, because I think this cop flat out executed this guy. I can see no justifiable use of deadly force here. Anyone who has studied/trained in the ‘when you can’/when you can’t’ shoot procedures would see that. This perp is waddling away at far less than warp speed and this young’n kid cop couldn’t even attempt foot pursuit to bring him under some sort of control? Damn! I’m so sick of this trigger happy crap by these cops. I see a fair trial, a sentence, and a LONG time in the can for this cop.

Whatever. I find you tedious and obvious and a waste of time. Bye.

Good, I didn’t really feel like explaining such a possible scenario to you anyway.

You know what? I don’t know either. Let’s just call it an agreement, if this is what you think. I have just recently ended chemo (this week) and still have what’s called “chemobrain” It’s hard for me to hold on to a thought and/or a conversation!
I don’t even have the energy yet to go back and look it all up again. We can argue next time, twice, to make up for it. Ok? (grin)

More than fair enough Shim. If I may....I know 3 that went thru it, (all finished it up about 6-7 years back or so), and have maintained perfect excellent health since! The common thread between them is that all 3 have followed 100% EXACTLY what there Docs told them to do since regarding: light exercise, diet and eating habits, no alcohol, no smokes and proper sleep/rest, (and a couple others I do not remember off the top of my head). You hang in there, FReepers are and will be praying for you!

Michael Brown of Ferguspn fame was running away while the officer who was acquitted, was firing 8 or 9 shots at him, eventually killing him.

Most of the police shootings lately have been people who have been delivered an order to stop, or drop to the grounded instead fled.

They got killed.

Not obeying an officer’s commands is stupid beyond belief. You will be lucky to survive.

If the policeman had not retrieved the taser to plant it, I think it would be seen as a tragedy where the guy refused to follow the officer's commands.

Huh? I thought the Mike Brown case was 100% established via ballistics and forensic bullet entry wound locations that Mike Brown was charging/coming AT, (not running AWAY from), the officer as the officer fired. Did I somehow mis-read your post?
