Its just as bad as the video store thing that happened a month ago (around there I'll have to look it up).....A black cop was going to buy video games for his kid and got lit up like a Christmas tree by two other black guys.........Thought it happened in Philadelphia or around there....Didn't get as much publicity as other cases for obvious reasons.
Apparently the guy ran because he owed $18,000 in child support and there was a warrant out for him. It all went down hill from there. Had he not run he would not have gotten shot. Why don't police departments teach their guys to like shoot out a knee. That was not worthy of 8 deadly shots being fired much less being killed for. I do not think it was a racist hate crime either. Note: you are not embarrassing lol.
Remember:
"If you're black, surrounded by white cops, resist is a way to survive!"
"Jury gets it wrong all the time. You have no idea what goes on with cops in black neighborhoods!"

Forget knockout, the poker fraud can't even make a simple layup.

If he wanted to shoot him and that was his plan all along... he could have done it when he walked up to the car the first time to get his ID, registration and insurance.
He could have shot him when he jumped out of the car the second time.... If that was his plan
He could have shot him right when he started to run the first time ..... if that was his plan
He could have shot him during the scuffle ... if that was his plan
Did the cop just feel like killing a black guy that day? Was he working up the nerve to murder him? Did the cop follow this guy from his house..... Wait till he left his Mercedes, then broke/disconnected the brake light bulb so he had a reason to pull him over, THEN as the psychic this cop was, knew that this guy (who was old and overweight) would run and flee, giving him the opportunity to murder this guy... cause he "Felt like killing the next nigga he saw".
Or maybe this is the more likely scenario:
Cop sees a guy driving with a broken brake light and thinks, Im bored, I can issue a ticket and make my day go a little faster. Pulls guy over and see's holes in his story, and lack of registration and insurance. Goes to his car to check the guy out on his in car computer. See's the guy acting antsy and getting out... as per his own safety, tells the driver to get back in his car. Moments later driver gets out again and runs... Cop, not knowing why the man is running, attempts to stop him, and is unsuccessful with his taser, suspect breaks free after a scuffle and runs again... and in a moment of bad decision, murders the driver by shooting him in the back as he is running away.
Im going to go with #2
I have no doubt that had there been no video, nothing would've happened, but I have a question: during the investigation of the Ferguson shooting, it was mentioned several times that a cop is NOT supposed to shot a fleeing suspect UNLESS the cop has reason to believe that a) his own life is in danger and/or b) he has reason to believe that the suspect may cause harm to others. How, exactly is a 50 year old guy who has just been tased, unarmed, running away at the speed of a 90 year woman from the officer, a threat to him or anybody else? We'll never know, of course, but 5 shots in the back would've been hard to justify, IMO.
I disagree big time.
Guy gets shot and then goes to the ME's office for the autopsy. Autopsy would've showed a man was shot multiple times in the back from a distance of greater than 30 feet. You can't argue with forensic evidence.
Would've been harder to convict without the video but the evidence doesn't lie.
Four days had gone by, and they hadn't arrested him despite that admittedly compelling evidence, so I don't agree-and the kid who took the video said he told the cops about the video, and they told him to wait a moment, but he, not unreasonably, probably feared he'd end up in the bottom of the ocean with his video, so he took off. The murdering cop no doubt said, he grabbed my taser and was running to tase somebody else, which is why you found the taser by his body. The second they got that video, everything changed-including the small matter of planting the evidence.
Totally agree. Without the video this goes the way of the Eric Garner murder. The cops get away with it. I hope the 2nd cop(Black Guy, so removes the racial aspect, this is a cops abusing power case) gets punished also. He said and did nothing when the murderer nonchalantly planted the taser near the dead guy. Didn't contradict the murderers police report at all. The kid who shot the video and eventually turned it over to the family is a genuine American Hero.
