Apropos of nothing, but just as a matter of filling in some blanks: The foot pursuit covered about a city block.

Got a look at Mr. Scott’s record. He had an assault and a possession of a bludgeon a few decades back, nothing recent involving violence. He had about ten fairly recent arrests for driving suspended, open container, contempt of court, and failure to pay child support... all small change.

The story is making lots of news on the west coast...Even local radio led the story not long ago.

One just knew with the widespread use of cell video, one of these was going to surface sooner or later.

Looks pretty bad.

This video above clearly depicts the officer dropping something right next to the suspect starting at 1:32 to 1:39. At 2:10 he seems to pickup an object.

This seems a bit odd.

None of the above are capital offenses providing post-facto justification for summary killing by the State.
