LONOKE COUNTY, Ark. — Lonoke County Sheriff John Staley announced through a Facebook video

Thursday that Sergeant Mike Davis, the officer involved in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Hunter Brittain, was fired due to policy violations.

Staley said that the deputy's bodycam was not turned on during last week's traffic stop that resulted in the shooting death of Brittain.

Because the deputy failed to activate his bodycam, he has been terminated," Staley said in his statement.

Davis was with the Lonoke County Sheriff's Office since 2013. According to the sheriff, there's no recorded video of the incident itself, but rather recordings of the event's aftermath.

"It's tough. This whole incident has been tough. Emotionally draining for me, for the family, for all my deputies," Staley said. "This is not something we would ever wish for."

The family of Brittain has hired Devon Jacob and Benjamin Crump to represent them in the case. Both were lawyers in George Floyd's murder case.

According to Staley, the Lonoke County Sheriff's Office does not have dash cameras on its police vehicles.

Because dash cams with microphones cost almost $30 at Walmart, and who can afford that.

Not sure I'd trust something that cheap when it comes to insurance.

[wastedyears]

they WOULD NOT cover for them if they reasonably suspected malfeasance

Wrong

Did Mohamed Noor's partner speak out against him? I'm pretty sure firing a pistol right in front of your face in a car would be a pretty bad thing for your hearing.

one better have proof of the actual exchange or it all up to a judge, not even a jury, to allow or disallow any alternate summary of the words....

Sounds to me like that's repugnant to the Constitution.

traderrob6’s opinion, not mine.

Iwould like to think everything traderrob6 said is true.

Because the deputy failed to activate his bodycam, he has been terminated," Staley said in his statement.

Excellent.

If he has nothing to hide he has nothing to fear right?

That is what they tell us.

Door swings both ways.

Agreed. I’ve had mostly good interactions with cops - though rarely, over the last 50 years. If I had been Noor’s partner, I’d have probably killed Noor while still in the car, beating him to death with his own gun. But then he lied his butt off to save Noor!

Noor received about half the jail time Chauvin did. But then, Noor is black.

I actually agree with you. What I didn’t have a problem with was the cop being fired.

it's buried very deeply in our human DNA, shunning used to be just about the worst punishment any clan could inflict. Watch a baby freak out if mommy and daddy ignore them for a few minutes. Multiply that by how ever many friends and acquaintances you have as an adult. Could you stand it?

STAND it?

Hell, I INSIST on it!

[Lazamataz]

As it should be. Perry Mason a, Robert Cannon and Andy Griffith nothwithstanding, the truth is a rare bird.

Raymond Burr (Perry Mason) was gay, William Conrad (Frank Cannon) was morbidly obese, and Andy Griffith was a geniune communist.

Fortunately after meeting you, most people are perfectly willing to play along!
