I pulled an old trick on LAPD to prevent someone from getting a DWI.
A car load of partying guys picked me up hitchhiking one night, the driver got stopped and as it progressed he looked like a DWI goner, none of his friends would do anything, so I got out and started being belligerent about “probable cause” etc. and causing a big distraction, which shifted all their attention to me, I got slammed around a little, but eventually I was cleared and we were sent on our way, the driver had been totally forgotten.
My brother’s friend told a story about driving home drunk one night and he came upon a line of cars at a DUI checkpoint. He put the car in park and scooted over to the passenger seat. When the line of cars began pulling forward a cop approached and asked why he wasn’t moving. He said he was drunk and the guy that had been driving him jumped out of the car and ran away when he saw the cops. I don’t remember what the specific resolution was, but he avoided a DUI.
“Well, fact of it is, it’s very possible. It’s quite easy,” Jonesboro Chief of Police Micheal Yates told CNN
Care to demonstrate?
You putz”
Ya, seriously. If it were that easy, why bother handcuffing a person in the first place? Just because one or two hired contortionists can do a demonstration of how ‘easy’ it is, doesn’t mean it is the norm.
Who do they think they are kidding?
I don’t think their will be a Victor White, IV
We all know an SUV drove the gun there, and it jumped up and shot the poor man.
Well maybe he needed killin but this is the worst cover up ever.
Are you serious? That’s kinda like expecting folks to believe “he backed into that knife, 20 times!”
What kind of gun - short barrel makes it more possible
Where did the round strike and at what angle - - longer barrel means steeper angle and farther away from hands.
Not saying the cops didn't murder the guy, but there isn't enough data to even determine if it was possible that he did it to himself.
