“The only conclusion I can come to for that finding, was his move towards his waistband. “
So now a move towards a waistband (sounds so sinister doesnt it?) carries the death penalty? Jesus I am forever hiking up my jeans due to beer belly pushing them down. Hope I’m never pulled over for a burned out tail light.
Todays coppers are absolutely paranoid homicidal maniacs and we are very poorly served by the politicians.
PS I was a revolver cop in suburban Chicago in the 70’s.
Profane etching on gun inadmissible in ex-Mesa officer’s murder trial
A judge presiding over the murder case of a former Mesa police officer who shot an unarmed man ruled Friday that a profane etching on the defendant’s firearm will not be revealed to the jury.
A Mesa Police Department internal report found that the words “You’re f—ked” were inscribed on the on the dust cover of the AR-15 patrol rifle Philip “Mitch” Brailsford used to shoot 26-year-old Daniel Shaver.
State prosecutors argued that the words were a testament to Brailsford’s mindset at the time of the incident, but Maricopa County Superior Court Judge George Foster found the evidence “totally prejudicial” and ruled it inadmissible.
