I’m sorry logic disturbs you so. You make a number of claims that don’t seem to have any evidence to support them, do you have anything concrete, are incapable or realizing that sometimes facts don’t match your beliefs, or are you just insisting that the whole world accept your assumptions without determining the facts?
1. Do you know for a fact that the object on the ground was a taser?
2. Do you have clear and persuasive evidence that the only reason the officer moved the object was to plant evidence?
3. Can you articulate any way in which having a taser found next to the subject would help the officer’s case, but having it found at the point where he assaulted the officer wouldn’t?
If you have direct evidence on any of these matters, you need to contact law enforcement and provide it to them. Otherwise, I’ll conclude that you’re basing your position on what you heard, what you feel, what you saw of a one angle video that only covers part of the incident, or you’re just parroting what other like-minded people are posting.
There is no reason in this case that the officer has to move evidence in a murder case to protect anyone but himself. The officers story was that the perp took the taser away from him and therfore it was a threat to the officer, so in order to protect the officer who could have been shot with his own taser and then disables and had his gun stolen, that the officer had to shoot the perp to keep all the above happening and to protect society from the perp having the officers gun. This was the story before the video was known. If you look you will find all these FACTS and more in the coverage of the crime in many stories that have been written about the case.
I don't need to contact law enforcement to let them know the FACTS that they already know and have charged the guy with murder. The normal method to charge an officer with murder would take many weeks at best and months would not be uncommon but in this case there is enough to make the charge. The officers original story is proven to be a lie by the video. The cops attorney deserted him because of the lying that was obvious after the video came out.
The cop appears to be a murder. We have trials to make sure what we think we see is what happened and to make sure there isn't reasonable doubt before we punish such a heinous crime. This video will likely put him in prison for the rest of his life but that punishment will not be enough in my opinion.
Cops are held or at least should be held to a higher standard than the rest of us. They understand more than the rest of us the consequences of disobeying the law. They aren't allowed to get emotional and mete out justice to perps, that is what we have courts for. In this case the cop was angry and killed.
The cop will likely come up with a more reasonable story to make him look less guilty but it won't work because his original testimony is fair game and he will have to explain it, he will have to explain why he lied. Once you admit lying no one on the jury will believe you again, you will be considered what you are, a bad cop.
