OMG, the last thing that poor victim heard was his girlfriend going on an on and recording herself. He was still moving while she was saying he was dead.
The cop looks in his 50s, but only on the force five years?
Read the article. The kid seems sraight up. Same job for a long time. Licensed gun.
Brutal call for cop to make. But if he said his gun was on his person then he SHOULD NOT have gone for anything.
I was in the back of a cab with cab driver friensd when i was young. passenger started saying he had a gun. The driver put the brights on and we got pulled over.
I walked out o the car towards the police like it was nothign and they screamed with guns pointed “stop there!”
I clearly had no weapon but I guess they could have shot me anyway
I’m pretty sure the first thing they tell you when you take your CCW class is that after you’ve identified yourself as a CCW holder you wait for officer instructions.
So many people can’t seem to understand that “don’t move,” means DON’T MOVE.
Lavish, really?
“He let the officer know that he had a firearm and he was reaching for his wallet and the officer just shot him in his arm,” she says.”
The officer told him to put his hands up but instead he started reaching for something. When are these people going to learn to follow instructions! Just because the driver said he had a concealed carry, it doesn’t make it so. I’m sure police officers have heard every kind of lie in the world. But now, since this guy DIDN’T FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS, he is dead and the thugs will exploit this unfortunate tragedy.
‘
Bad move. Stupid cop. Were do they dig these guys up? Are they going for the trade school drop outs?
DUH, when they run your plate, they know that you are a CCW carrier. You automatically put your hands in plain site, and then tell the officer exactly what you are going for when you reach for ANY thing. Common sense.
The only thing the cop heard was “I got a gun”, then the guy made a “furtive movement” in the cop’s eye.
Expressing a statement and having your audience understand what you meant by that statement can be 2 different things. The world is perceived differently by everyone. Was the cop wrong? In that an innocent citizen was killed, it looks that way.
Every official encounter with a cop is a life threatening situation for both sides.
Now we have the BLM victim they want to use to disrupt the conventions.
Cops will kill you.
There really is a government war on black men.
problem is the source, the infamous Republic hating Washington Post
A year or so ago, there was a dash video of an officer (young) pulling in behind a young adult (black) at a gas station and the driver gets out to pump gas and is shocked to the policeman standing there. The policeman asks to see his ID and the the kid turns back to his truck and gets it. As he turns around the officer shoots him several times (4 or so) and cuffs him. Interesting conversation as the wounded man asks the cop why he shot him and the cop said it was because he reached into his vehicle. The driver replied ‘but you asked me to show you my license.. ‘
A deadly situation can happen fast to anyone...
What good is it to broadcast the ‘aftermath’ framing it as ‘This dirty cop shot just shot my boyfriend for NO REASON”.
The video excludes anything upon which you could base outrage. I would very much like to know what THE REASON was. And then carry out the administrative discipline and/or Criminal charges based on that information. This doesn’t add up to me yet. ‘He shot my boyfriend for no reason’ is like saying 5x5 is fifty five. The math is wrong.
On the surface, it does not look like a good shoot.
But it is way too early in the investigation for any conclusion.
Another case where a body camera might just give the true answer.
These people are out of control. This bastard gets leave time, an innocent black guy is dead, and rioters will retaliate against business owners and innocent white people. WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY TEACHING THESE KNUCKLEHEADS IN THE ACADEMIES?????
We need civilian Directors of Law and Public Safety who answer to elected officials, not untouchable police chiefs who answer only to themselves and have connections to the people they supervise.
We need residency requirements whereby cops have to live in the jurisdiction where they serve.
We need civilian review boards which can remove rogue cops when officials fail to do so.
We need law enforcement establishments which reflect the community in which they serve.
We need civilian observers in every class room in every police academy in the country to see what the hell these people are being taught.
We need to remove cops who, in effect, stage job actions by refusing to act if they don’t like the way officials respond to their actions.
If you are white, as am I, the next time one of these knuckleheads act out, you or your family could be the next target.
They are law enforcement personnel, not a military force of occupation in a hostile country.
“police acted stupidly”
or
“extreme carelessness” aka nothing to see here move on
?
I do not trust the girlfriend’s statement on what happened before the video. I am also not confident that the cop’s statement will be accurate. I think it is almost certain that one or both of the cop and the dead guy did something stupid, and both sides want to hide part of the story. I hope the cop had audio and video enabled.
Why was the child already out of the car?
In America, selling CD’s or having a tail light out are capital offenses. Selling your political office to foreign entities for personal gain and giving away state secrets is “not a prosecutable offense.”
All we have at this time is the girlfriend’s word about what happened. It’s best to wait for more facts before coming to a conclusion.
