Not sure what your line of business is, but I certainly make it a point not to do things that cause interaction with cops.
You could have said that once... ;)
I don't post rumor.
Inquest into Costco Shooting Postponed
Costco's surveillance system has also come under scrutiny. Police say the store's camera system may not have captured the incident. They have sent hard drives from the system for forensic analysis at a lab in California.
Yes I could of. Not sure what my computer is doing. Clear the cache and reset the connection.
I never read that police told him not to reach for his waist.
All the info I got said that all three officers yelled different things. One was 'put it down', the other was 'get down'.
According to his family, the elapsed time between Scott leaving the store and being shot was 7 seconds.
According to the info I read, the camera snapshots (it's not continuous streaming but a sequence of 'snap' shots) is burned to CD.
It was the CD they sent to LA.
The point of an offsite backup is so that if there is an event that causes the local equipment to be destroyed they still have a copy. If you put it on a local secondary system, then it is just as susceptible to conditions damaging the primary.
What makes this most suspicious is that both copies are unavailable/damaged. Why do they spend so much on a video recording systems with such poor reliability that they have no record of a whole sequence of events that led to a man’s death?
The death is a tragedy that I might chalk up to bad training and bad timing worthy of a big wrongful death settlement in favor of the family. But the stench of cover up is what is most disturbing about the case and puts the store and officers’ action in the realm of criminal in my opinion.
So... why did the LVPD Captain say there was no camera footage? Then say that there was, but it was damaged?
Why did they send it to LA ? Unaltered.... sure.
In legal terms, the police and COSTCO had motive, and time, and sent the ‘item’ to a place known for having the best editing equipment in the US.
The COPS need to bring the COPS and COSTCO in for questioning. (That will happen the day Obama says, “I lied. I’m not a Christian, and I’m a Communist puppet”.)
You know who owns COSTCO ?
You know what C.O.S.T.Co. stands for ?
Wasn't this case a lesson to us ? So what if the cruiser camera catches it. Do you think the cops would just give it to the media, to prove they murdered you?
Have you seen the video from COSTCO yet ? It's been weeks now.
And the idea they would be doing hard time. Heck, we've caught the President breaking the law and ignoring our Constitution, and he's still there. We have top politicians in all states caught in deep corruption, and they are still in office.
Prosecutors, Police Captains, individual cops, all who have enough 'power' to get away with crime.
LOL I just thought it was mad as he$$!
I certainly don’t believe for a moment there aren’t cops who shouldn’t be on the job. As I said upthread somewhere, I’ve known people who have had really unfair encounters (none ended up dead, thankfully).
On the other hand, I don’t for a moment believe that most cops are bad guys, otherwise you would hear many many more of these stories. But, I don’t feel sorry for a bad cop who goes to jail. I do think they should be held to a higher standard.
Costco is NOT COSCO, the China Overseas Shipping Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Peoples Liberation Army.
Thanks. Man was I way off base.
Ignore my idiot post. See my tagline.
By coincidence today I received my "re-up" bill from Costco.
I intend to send it back, checkless, with a carefully composed love note. The bastards!
overblown gov brings them into ordinary citizens faces daily...this costco scenario is simply nannyism on roids...
For later
