Wow I really feel bad for that guy. A professional, a black man, in a caregiving role, working with autistic people. He's out there trying to help a patient, he does EVERYTHING right, including keeping his hands up in the air, and not only does he still get shot anyway, he also gets handcuffed. This is the kind of thing that convinces blacks that the police are out to get them. This will not be helpful. I'm guessing the missing video is the graphic bits of the guy getting shot. If there is exculpatory evidence in the video, I hope the police officials release it before the rioting starts. It sure doesn't look good at this point. View Quote Well to be fair, it's not so much that he was black it was that the autistic kid was not picking up the can fast enough. |

One horrible mistake by a paranoid cop cancels out a thousand good shoots every time.

It's damn near every other officer closing ranks and making endless excuses and desperate nitpicky justifications that is the problem. THAT is what people see, that is what shapes their impression of all of this. There was a really illuminating thread here a year or so back when an aircraft crashed and the pilot and passengers were killed. There are plenty of pilots on the board here, and more than a few of them started dissecting the incident to figure out what happened. The conclusion was pretty unanimously pilot error with resulting total loss of aircraft. If memory serves, the pilot was retired LEO and... some predictable members here got very agitated that anyone would have the nerve to start speaking ill of the dead and criticizing them in such a manner, especially so soon. One of the pilots pointed out, rather bluntly, that things don't work that way with pilots. They analyze accidents and assign fault very objectively and dispassionately because it's how they have learned how to not get killed and take others with them when giant high-speed flying machines are involved. They'll absolutely criticize a dead pilot - or even a live one - who made a preventable error, they'll do it without hesitation, and they'll do it publicly. The suggestion was made that perhaps the knee-jerk reaction to avoid publicly admitting fault among colleagues was somewhat unique to law enforcement. The original complainants didn't come back to the thread. It was quite eye-opening. |

The human factor is missing when officers have to deal with a 23yo playing with a truck in the middle of the street.
Isn't it obvious |
|
The video of the shooting itself is likely missing because it is graphic.
I don't see anything in that situation that would really warrant having guns drawn, much less firing. Other LEOs in other cities will probably pay in blood for that dipshit decision. |

Sheesh, be adults. we are in full fuckstate now. Yes, there will be more egregious cop shootings, and more bizarro cop-killer situations.. Just to be expected.Ride it out.

Even if the shooting was entirely accidental, it still seems absurd to even be pointing your rifles at a guy on his back, hands up, complying, and calmly explaining the situation.
What, did they think it was the old "caretaker-disabled ruse"? |

Wow I really feel bad for that guy. A professional, a black man, in a caregiving role, working with autistic people. He's out there trying to help a patient, he does EVERYTHING right, including keeping his hands up in the air, and not only does he still get shot anyway, he also gets handcuffed. This is the kind of thing that convinces blacks that the police are out to get them. This will not be helpful. It's not the shooting that is the problem. It's damn near every other officer closing ranks and making endless excuses and desperate nitpicky justifications that is the problem. THAT is what people see, that is what shapes their impression of all of this. There was a really illuminating thread here a year or so back when an aircraft crashed and the pilot and passengers were killed. There are plenty of pilots on the board here, and more than a few of them started dissecting the incident to figure out what happened. The conclusion was pretty unanimously pilot error with resulting total loss of aircraft. If memory serves, the pilot was retired LEO and... some predictable members here got very agitated that anyone would have the nerve to start speaking ill of the dead and criticizing them in such a manner, especially so soon. One of the pilots pointed out, rather bluntly, that things don't work that way with pilots. They analyze accidents and assign fault very objectively and dispassionately because it's how they have learned how to not get killed and take others with them when giant high-speed flying machines are involved. They'll absolutely criticize a dead pilot - or even a live one - who made a preventable error, they'll do it without hesitation, and they'll do it publicly. The suggestion was made that perhaps the knee-jerk reaction to avoid publicly admitting fault among colleagues was somewhat unique to law enforcement. The original complainants didn't come back to the thread. It was quite eye-opening. Really, I sure would like a link to that thread. |

Dude it was a plane crash. Unless it happened at an air show, there probably was no video at all. You seem to think or assume he's comparing the reactions to video, when what he's doing (as I read it) is drawing attention to boilerplate responses to anything that is perceived as criticism of LE, no matter the situation. I don't even remember that other thread, and I get that. Are you short on sleep or something? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I read it. you missed my point. sigh...... Dude it was a plane crash. Unless it happened at an air show, there probably was no video at all. You seem to think or assume he's comparing the reactions to video, when what he's doing (as I read it) is drawing attention to boilerplate responses to anything that is perceived as criticism of LE, no matter the situation. I don't even remember that other thread, and I get that. Are you short on sleep or something? I understand that. I am sure that there was a significant amount of info about the plan crash, black boxes, radar, a detailed analysis of the wreckage. information that would allow a person who wasn't there to make a judgment of the situation that the pilot was in and say if and where the fault lays. what we have here is the plane crash equivalent of a video of a hole in the ground. we know the plane crashed, and that about it. cops also like to wait until there is some ANY actual evidence before saying someone fucked up. here ITT we have several saying the cop fucked up....when all we have is a video of before the event, and after. the plane crash equivalent of a video of the plane flying straight and level and a smoking hole in the ground. |

If it's indeed a bad shoot then the cop needs to be punished.
