What, exactly, that a complete video might reveal, would justify shooting a fleeing perp in the back? I really want to know what that would be.
Al Sharpton and odumbo could both die in a burning car crash as far as I am concerned and I could care less. Yes, I am bitter but NOT racist.
i agree it looks bad, but i’m going to wait and see.
even a complete video can be deceiving. for an example see this case, where there was a great hue and cry until the video from all 3 cameras was shown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGtNug8gvpk
as understand the law, the officer can shoot a fleeing suspect only when “he poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others.”
in this case it doesn’t look like it, but who knows.
if the suspect said “i’m a martyr, i have a suicide belt and i’m going to run into that school over there and blow it up.”
in that case a shooting would be fully justified.
i’m just going to wait and see.
