This will be examined by the Feds.
Then the UN
Followed by the Intergalactic Council of Planets.
Black privilege.
He probably saved more evidence, untainted, than if he had waited for someone else to bag his gun...
I think what you are missing is in making the assumption, implied by the article, that all police departments follow some sort of “standard police procedures”. I am skeptical that this is the case. Smaller towns are not likely to have the experience or resources that larger cities have.
A better question to ask would be, did the officers follow the procedures set forth by the City of Ferguson code?
That is what they would / should have been trained to do.
How many cops were available? Is anyone asking? Are you? A town of what, 12,000? How many cops were on duty? Were there other and better uses for their time, with a dead body lying in the street?
These aren’t even laws at this level... these are things they recommend that officers do in order that the integrity of legal evidence is best preserved. In this case what could be possibly expected out of the gun. It was fired, it was obvious.
Maybe the municipalities adopt the City of St. Louis code. Being in the same state jurisdiction it would make sense, because they know what flies in that state’s courts.
The “my baby” syndrome seems to be common among these baby mamas. Its as infantilized as their own status is with respect to their benefactor government.
Probably didn’t stop to think that there would be such a contrary minded riot over the situation... if he had, yes he would have asked for another officer to go through all the steps to prove by DNA where the blood came from etc.
great point
