FULL TITLE: 'Oh you're gonna shoot me?' The sarcastic last words of straight-A student shot dead by college cop after being stopped for speeding

• University student Cameron Redus, 23, was shot and killed by a campus police officer
• According to police, the officer tried to pull Redus over for driving erratically and speeding
• The two pulled into the parking lot of Redus' apartment block
• Minutes later, Redus was shot 'four to six times' by Carter
• Redus was a straight-A student set to graduate in May
• Alamo Heights police and Texas Rangers are investigating the shooting
• Carter is on administrative leave during the investigation
  
  

A witness says he heard the sarcastic final words of a Texas student moments before he was shot dead by a college police officer.

Robert Cameron Redus, 23, was killed when Corporal Chris Carter, 35, opened fire on him in the early hours of Friday morning a few blocks away from the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio where Redus studied, set to graduate in May.

Neighbour Mohammad Haidaras told My San Antonio  that he heard a tense exchange between Redus and Carter sixty seconds before shots rang out.

He told the website: 'I heard (a man) say, 'Oh, you're gonna shoot me?' like sarcastic almost.'

The 22-year-old claims he heard gunshots less than a minute later and jumped into his closet.

Investigators say an altercation began when Carter tried to pull Redus over for speeding and driving erratically.

I think they have the same jurisdiction, off campus, as an off-duty police officer.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Never get into a car with a mad, crazy woman (see Chris Rock).

[Tenacious 1]

Officers investigating the incident haven't attempted to contact Haidrasl about what he heard, Haidrasl told My San Antonio.

What? Officers didn't interview witnesses?

[holden]

Cop hit by baton? Oh, that explains the (self-inflicted?) bruise.

One on one with an armed cop and a student 13 years his junior decides violence is his choice. How unlikely is that?

Pictures or it didn’t happen.

[goat granny]

don’t you just love the fact that scarcasm is a capital crime deserving of death...since the guy had stopped in the parking lot, he was no longer speeding but that is also a capital crime deserving of death...scarcasm and disgust at the actions of the cop

[diogenes ghost]

"He is yelling "stop resisting" for the sake of the ear-witnesses, not the person he's about to shoot."

May I assume, then, that if you are holding your wallet with DL out and he hollers "drop the weapon", that things are about to go badly for you?

[Zuben Elgenubi]

The important parts of the story are, the cop felt threatened, and he got to go home that night, with pay.

I thought Alaska Wolf was permanently canned by the man himself.

Pictures of the officers wounds would be evidence in this case...Which would support the officer.

Where are they?

No?

Where is the evidence?

And the student was threatened, and got to go to his forever home. Student loans not paid back.

Not to worry, I'm sure they'll attach the parents' wages, tax refunds and retirement.

Well, if that’s true they are just asking for trouble. I’m certainly not obeying any commands of a campus “police” officer out on the public way. They’d have to shoot me to get me to comply.

What was it that the bug said to Edgar?

"Your terms are acceptable."

[Responsibility2nd]

The pictures of the officers wounds must have been on that dash cam.

That had fallen off.

[109ACS]

You would lose that bet. Here's a picture of the entire "police" force on the campus: (he's the portly fellow on the right)

Campus Police (pictured L-R) Frank Gomez, Chief Jacob Colunga (behind), Perla Guzman and Chris Carter pose with Rev. Dr. Trevor Alexander, director of ecumenical initiatives, after the officers were commissioned at the 9-11 Interfaith Prayer Service in Our Lady’s Chapel on Tuesday, Sept. 11.

[dragnet2]

When a crime occurs, especially if a police officer assaulted, images are immediately obtained of the injuries as supporting evidence...

Apparently there are none here.

Another coinky dinky?

[Salvey]

He was tried, convicted, and executed on the spot for the heinous high crime of contempt of cop

The way I read it, his crime was sarcasm of cop.

[MrB]

Sarcasm was just the method of committing the crime,
like using a knife, club, or firearm to commit murder.

The high crime of contempt of cop takes many forms including verbal or “a look” or a negative blog post.

[green iguana]

“he’s the portly fellow on the right”

As opposed to the portly fellow on the left, or the portly lady in the middle?

Or the other portly two?

[dragnet2]

lol...

You just earned the big honking hoot award~!
