Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted April 25, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) This is fucking sad. Cops are telling him to put the gun down, he eventually complies and they shoot him dead. The real issue here is training on how to handle this situation. You can see that the gun was not in his hand. The command should have been for him to come out to them or lay down with his hands up. Not put a gun down that he has to reach inside a pocket for. No way this woman should remain a cop. https://www.charlotteobserver.com/latest-news/article229631674.html Edited April 25, 2019 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladefever Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Just another being shot while being black. I'm glad the gave the shot guy some assistance while he was down.... They stood over him like he was a bag of garbage in the parking lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I counted 23 times he was told to drop the gun, I don't see that gun hitting the ground until he moved it upwards and was shot. Maybe I'm not watching it right... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Also comes down to training. Should have NEVER asked for him to put a gun down that was concealed then shot him for following a request in a non aggressive manner. I get it that they have fractions of a second to decide in these situations but in this case that's no excuse. Screaming put the gun down that's not in his hand is retarded. The commands should have been show me your hands or commanded him to come towards them and get away from the person in the car.

Then, incapacitate (face down on ground, hands behind head). Then carry on with search/weapons removal/detainment. Or, PEW.....PEW, PEW, PEW!!!!!!!

In that scenario I would have like to seen one officer off to the side without a gun drawn talking to the man not screaming at him. Also not sure why one officer couldn't have had a taser drawn instead of a gun if they could see no weapon in his hand. We always talk about doing as they command and while he didn't do it quickly he was doing it regardless and they killed him for following orders.

It was murder, plain and simple. So, give them 3 weeks off without pay. That’ll learn them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rump-rider Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Sounds like you guys are a bunch of experts even though you’ve never been in a split second critical situation like this. Maybe if police jobs paid better or agencies didn’t have to go through the equal opportunity/minority BS, they could be more selective when they hire. But it seems like nowadays they have to scrape the bottom of the barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSFB Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Ever notice how cops are given a lot of leeway on their words and when to shoot but citizens are always expected to remain calm, rational and follow the orders exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had grabbed the gun in the manner in which he was gripping it to fire it would be a bit different. That picture is from her body cam. Its clear she should have been able to recognize how it was being held or retrieved. She was screaming drop the gun. He was trying to in a very non threatening manner and she killed him for following stupid orders. Edited April 25, 2019 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin_dry Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 The dept was still trying to protect the officer by refusing to release the tape. Cops are crooked. Plain and simple. Disgusting 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
