If this is true (and the grandfather appears to concede it was), then the police story might be more believable about a 15-year-old kid illegally carrying a firearm and roaming around Sherbondy Hill neighborhood after 11 PM on Thanksgiving, about 4 miles from the high school Jazmir attended.
I suspect they’ve seen ways too many “bad” people recover only to be released to do it again and again, while they get sued for helping?
I think you’re reading too much into an (apparently unsuccessful) attempt at a bit of levity.
I don’t know about today, I was talking about the past and Houston cops, but in current videos we do see cops sometimes giving first aid and people talk about it as though it may be a modern policy.
What if the theater really is on fire? Are we supposed to quietly leave without letting anyone else in the theater know?
I often hear/read of LE rendering “life saving measures” by performing CPR and pumping out the rest of the actor’s blood.
Shot with a rifle. I wonder what the wound(s) were like. Do you start CPR, and maybe force him to bleed out? Was a tourniquet possible? I need more info, so now I’ll watch the video.
Frankly, what I’ve seen of cops after they shoot someone, or being the first to cop to a bar shooting, or even when being the first cop to a death in a house, they seem like deer in the headlights, awkward, unsure, and hesitant yet wanting to appear as dignified police, they are easily shaken.
Kid with a weapon, it is probably for the safety of the public that he is deceased. I have a very hard time whipping up sympathy for the kid or his family.
People should learn the art of the insult and use of more refined language. That way they can accomplish the same thing without resorting to a coarse and vulgar lexicon.
I watched the video. The incident occurred in Akron, Ohio. Police were drawn to the location, by the sound of gunshots.
One or both of the first two police officers to arrive, shot the 15-year old boy, who apparently had - we are told via an after action report - a loaded firearm.
After that shooting by the one-or-two, first cops, none of the video indicates that any of the cops responding, suggested that the boy might not be able to respond to their commands.
Fair point. The “civil rights lawyer” narrating is useless. Not knowing the nature of the wounds, he speculates that the kid may have been shot in the back, then runs with that narrative.
We have a Monday-morning quarterback, bemoaning the quality of the video evidence, and second guessing cops that heard shots at night. Without autopsy results, I’d say this is premature debate.
Body Cams, rendering aid even if you’ve just had 4 cops mag dump a dude, is CYA.
Every individual has their own “wig out” stress threshold; and the individual’s behavior is unique.
There are varying degrees of “the when of it” and “the performance” that may be trained to delay the moment and modify the performance.
There are varying degrees of success, in such efforts. Some people are able to leave the trauma, shock, and awe . . . behind. Some people.
A friend of mine, was among the initial combat surgeons on Guadacanal, at Henderson Field.
The video was assembled from a self-described “Civil Rights Atorney” who arrogates a standard by which the police have to prove they are not guilty, via video of the entire encounter.
The police at the scene might have been faking, but their behavior suggests that they feared the suspect was a danger to their lives. At the time, they didn’t know the extent of the suspect’s injuries.
Lots of questions. Was a pistol recovered at the scene nearby the suspect? Had it been fired? Suspect’s prints on it? Powder residue later deermined to be on the suspect? Suspect have a juvenile criminal record? What has been discovered about the “shots” the cops say they heard before the incident? Did anyone else but the cops hear these shots? Was anyone hurt by them? Has anyone come forward saying they were fired on that night? Why was a 15 year-old go out at night armed? Was this normal behavior for him? Did his parent(s) know he was out roaming the streets at 11pm with a firearm? Did they know he had a firearm? Where did he get it? Etc. They is far too much unknown to draw conclusions.
Sort of like, “Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip.”? (Winston Churchill)
So go to TikTok if you don’t like this
“ The most famous example of which is you cannot yell “fire” in a crowded theater.”
Yes you can. There is no law against it
” you cannot yell “fire” in a crowded theater.”
Of course you can.
