Arkansas Deputy Kills Teen 'Armed' With Antifreeze Trying To Fix a Truck
Reason ^ | 06/29/21 | Scott Shackford

Posted on 06/30/2021 11:04:23 AM PDT by Fido969

Add "bottle of antifreeze" to the list of common objects law enforcement officers have mistaken for deadly weapons and then used to justify shooting—and, in this case, killing—an unarmed citizen...

King told local ABC affiliate KATV news that the truck wouldn't properly shift into park, so Brittain went to the back of the truck with a jug of antifreeze to prop behind a truck's tire so that it wouldn't roll backward and strike Davis' vehicle. That's when Davis fired at Brittain, and according to King, Davis didn't tell him to stop or get on the ground. He just shot him.

Actions have consequences so be prepared. Good luck.

Now that is a really really bad suggestion. Then you are no better. Two wrongs absolutely DO NOT make a right.

Yeah, that one was really bad.

Don't forget Roghena Nicholas and Patrick Tuttle in Houston.

That type of attitude and comment fully justifies their actions... Why would you do that and make it worse?

Police officers as a whole?

Don't know. Just did a search, and that was the first one I saw. Salary.com is a fairly large site

F*ck this. I do not "respect" 'roided goons with a licence to kill.

Your "ride along" idea is no longer an option. No goon squad wants witnesses.

You and your bruhs have screwed the pooch. The warnings against a militerized popo have been going on for 20 years, and now you are all hurt, with a pooched out lip, when we ask about a lot behind the cop shop crammed with armored assault trucks.

If you had self disciplined out your badge heavy black gloved bullies, more people would care if you catch a bullet in the face.

vehicle stopped by police at 3 am

and why did they stop him?
Oh he was leaving a shop? Never had a buddy with a shop?

Well, I've had few. We used to party to wee hours at his shop and no one ever stopped us after leaving.
Nobodies business when you leave a private property!

It's called a computer in each cruiser.
Follow, check the licence and if everything is kosher, go about your job.

But, no, they gotta play hard ball for every little stupid thing what happens in town.

Guess it's OK to stop everybody at 3AM. Get a grip.

We don’t know why he was stopped. I assume it was more than just minding his own business or driving under the speed limit. Just hold off on the hanging until the other side has a chance to respond to the stories. That’s my only point. Not that one or the other was guilty or totally at fault. As another poster noted, they force intends to release the body cam for starters so keep watch and see what happens over the next several days and then engage in your arguments as to who, if either, was at fault.

And then go Paulie Walnuts

I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. I read recently about a guy whose son had been molested. He blew the head off the guy as police were transporting him. I think he was no-billed.

46 is hardly all.....around half.....93 total

Slick fired all literally

Why am I off tangent ...I’m replying specifically to your attempted rebuttals

I stand by my claim I like cops better than federal prosecutors

The latter being political animals who can’t be trusted

Why the butthurt....is your baby girl a struggling UASA right out of night school law....wellok....we’ll say she’s wonderful...the exception in a sea of mediocrity and lack of integrity

That’s the reality....USAs are political creature....the swamps magistrates or star chamber

The AUSAs are either political ambitions or it’s better than clerking for a minor firm so I’ll take the job

Do you have experience being betrayed by a US attorneys or assistant US attorneys ....well I do....save for aforementioned judge Kehoe I’d been fubar

So I’m sticking with it

I submit

Cops make bad kills....it happens...more than it used to in my opinion

I as a defendant have had ok dealings with most cops or Leos of all stripes in the old pot smuggling wars

US attorneys are untrustworthy....not that state attorneys are angels if it makes u feel better

And federal judges used to be beyond reproach except Alcee Hastings....who....speak of the devil....I knew in Miami ...today federal judges sadly appear woefully compromised

So there

I remember that. I guess it’s the same incident... the dad was standing at a pay phone then whirled around with a gun as the cops walked the pedo past him.

IIRC the little boy was from out here and it was a SoCal news crew on the scene filming when it happened.

Yup. Good shooting too. Right in the head. I'm hoping I was correct that he wasn't prosecuted. If I were on his jury, the most he'd get would be a littering charge if he didn't police his brass.

"46 is hardly all.....around half.....93 total"

Can you read? You can't fire people who either don't exist or who have already quit. The other 47 US Attorneys posts were already vacant! The paragraph I posted said so in plain English.

Here is the post, again, what didn't you understand?

"On March 10, 2017...President Donald Trump, requested the resignations of 46 United States Attorneys...The other 47 U.S. Attorney posts were either already vacant by the end of Barack Obama's administration or the incumbent U.S. Attorney had resigned at the beginning of Trump's Administration."

I will reserve judgment until I have all the facts.

Welp.

Looks like you won't get the body cam video...
