“The FedEx emphasis was distracting...”
Not to me it isn’t. If the guy is a FedEx employee then you get a general idea of who he is as a person. Punctual, hard working, polite, courteous, professional.
It immediately punches a hole in any attempt at character assassination that the OCSD tries to conduct to save their butts.
According to the television report, by the local TV station, the victim was a part of a group of dirtbike riders that was weaving in and out of traffic, driving between cars, and going at extremely high rates of speed. The victim decided to run from the police, and was followed by a police helicopter overhead who never lost sight of him. He pulled into a gas station. At that point, the police converged on him. He then started resisting arrest. At that time a police officer deployed his taser, which burned the victim, but also burned the police officer to a small extent. Moral of the story, don’t run from the cops and don’t resist arrest and you won’t get burnt to a crisp.
I’m guessing Barreto wasn’t in his FedEx garb pumping gas into his FedEx truck. Eventually, the excerpt/article indicates Barreto was heading home from a ‘peaceful’ motorbike ride.
Impressive he you surmised otherwise given the opening sentence(s)
I would guess that FedEx, like many employers who need to hire low level workers these days, takes whomever they can get for the most part. I'm not saying he was a bad guy, only that the fact that he worked for FedEx doesn't really mean much. The gang signs and numerous body tats are probably a better indicator. That said, this shouldn't have happened.
Exactly. Not likely a dead beat gang banger.
Since when is it a crime to ride bikes with friends?
Dolt cop.
Poor guy. He will never be the same if he lives.
