I am re-posting what I posted recently on another dated thread.
The attorney of the officer involved in the shooting who told the media it was the police who have their own audio and VIDEO of this event. If this is in fact true, they’ve had time to review the audio/video 2,000 times. And this is a one shooter investigation which should not be overly complex or difficult. I’d guess they’re dragging their feet here for some reason. I don’t know what the reason would be.
Btw, it was Reynolds attorney who publicly challenged the city/cops to release the video, same as his client did with hers.
Just pure speculation here, but if the officer really thought this was a suspect in an “Armed Robbery” this event should have never happened like it did. And I will tell you why.
Since this was a suspected “Armed Robbery” suspect, this should have been a felony traffic stop, where once the suspect vehicle stops, officers order the vehicle occupants out of the vehicle, one at a time, hands up, walk backwards towards the officers etc, etc. Most have seen the routine on TV many times. This is done for officer safety as well as the vehicle occupants.
I am only saying this based on the existing media reports/video/evidence and comments from the players involved.
Btw, I have actually been attacked personally for simply looking critically at what is being reported so far and offering my thoughts. I personally think they have some real issues here.
Could I be wrong? Yes. But we shall see.
” based on the existing ...”
Which isn’t enough to do more than make guesses with.
Probably just have a dashcam video which is useless.
Unless the driver had his hand on the gun it will be just the cop’s word against the passenger’s.
It seems wrong for people to pick on you for putting your theories out there that might not favor the cops’ side of the story.
Basically we’re all just speculating here based on the few known facts but BLM and the Democrats and their press can create the narrative while the investigators/authorities must remain circumspect, professional, silent.
pd does not have body cams thus either from patrol car not likely to see into car or the girlfriend..did he have camera in his car?
The attorney representing the officer who shot Castile is talking about the audio and video in the hands of the police; his client would be in a position to know. Why would he bring up audio and video that incriminate his client? Lawyers sometimes play odd games, but this is a point to ponder.
It’s entirely possible that the police are hiding something, and your “felony stop” angle is an interesting observation. But I think the current PC climate leaves “upper management” of police and cities afraid of inflaming the mob by “attacking the victim” by defending themselves. They want things to calm down over time, as well as to make sure they look at all angles before putting too much out there, and to let fake witnesses, if any, put themselves on record with provable lies before releasing evidence. Reynold’s attorney would love to see what hard evidence the cops have; he’s had to muzzle his client in the meanwhile.
