Black Man Shot dead Officer-involved shooting Falcon Heights MN, US 7/6/2016
YouTube ^

Posted on 07/06/2016 10:23:54 PM PDT by TigerClaws

A man was shot by police in Falcon Heights on Wednesday evening. In a video posted on Facebook, the man’s girlfriend says the “police shot him for no apparent reason, no reason at all.”

The girlfriend, Lavish Reynolds, started the video with the man slumped next to her, his white T-shirt soaked with blood on the left side. In the video, taken with her phone, she says they were pulled over at Larpenteur Avenue and Fry Street for a broken taillight.

Warning: Graphic video of the incident posted on Facebook

Btw, why are Falcon Heights LEOs handcuffing suspects and putting them into the back of their cruisers without searching them? I never heard of someone who is handcuffed, who is broadcasting from their own cell phone from the back of a patrol unit while handcuffed.

No bueno.

Btw, can I have a link which shows Falcon Heights cops don’t carry their own audio recorders or wear body cams? Or do you just have personal knowledge of this? Thanks.

And I would love to know why the little girl was already out of the car during the video? so they pull the guy over for a broken tail light, ask for DL, guys goes for DL and says he has a gun, cop reacts, guy still reaching, cop reacts by shooting. When was little girl IN the car and who took her out?

Lots of stuff doesn't make sense yet.

They said it was a St. Anthony cop that did the shooting.

Falcon Heights is small and between St. Anthony and Roseville.

There should be audio/video from the cop. We’ll see.

Nope. According to their chief, their officers don't have body cams.

It’s probably a safe assumption the cops took the kid out of the back seat. In regards to the shooting, I don’t think the kid is much of an issue here anyway.

So I heard. Did the Chief say anything about this?

Why are Falcon Heights LEOs handcuffing suspects who were just directly involved in fatal shooting, and putting them into the back of their cruisers without searching them? I never heard of someone who is handcuffed, who is broadcasting from their own cell phone from the back seat of a patrol unit while handcuffed.

No bueno.

One other thing, did the Chief mention that LEOs all over the country for years now routinely carry their own audio recorders for their own protection in traffic stops?

And the reason I asked the question in 132, is because the LEO obviously had no idea where these two just came from or if they’d just committed a major crime before the stop, and or if they were both possibly armed. He had no idea.

If someone is directly involved, and in the same vehicle where a cop felt threatened enough to shoot the passenger to death, why in tarnation would ya handcuff them and put them into the unit without a search first?

More than one cop has been shot to death by a prisoner or detained person who was cuffed from the back seat of a police vehicle because they were not searched or searched thoroughly.

“Maybe that’s the way you act when you realize you may have killed someone unnecessarily.”

Yeah, because the guy was too stupid to comply with instructions. Being a little toasted can do that to you.

“I bet he gave contradictory commands.”

Definitely a possibility; let’s see what turns up.
