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.
Had not seen that. Thanks for sharing it.
Interesting video, thanks.
Good post
Totally with you.
This really does look bad, but I have already gone on several points that are NOT clear that both media and/or JoeSchmoe are promulgating as “obvious” when they are not from the Scott video.
-what happened to precipitate this
-how many shots actually hit (5 of 8 is standard right now, but not 8 although that is the hype - 8 shots; i.e., he plugged him mercilessly)
-what is the thing that white guy picks up (”it’s the taser!”)
-why is it dropped (”to plant evidence by the body!”)
-why does this happen at all (”racism!”)
All answers are dubious, although indeed the film makes it look like there is no excuse for him shooting someone running away.
Good point, but I don't think it is going to matter to the media and the political agenda of the left. We are headed toward some combination of Federal oversight/Federal police, police forces must be of the same race as the policed population or more minority than the population, and don't shoot minorities unless you have already been shot at at least, open fire whenever you feel it is necessary against a white target.
