In the video how the hell do the cops not see the guy that's filming them? It looks like he's just across the street and he moves all over the place. It was probably a case of tunnel vision. That poo poo will gently caress you up in all sorts of situations. I think the military tries training to get past it, but it's something humans do by default.

It seems the shooter may not have seen him until he the partner showed up and even if he saw the guy filming before then the shooter was still finishing up his handcuffing and evidence tampering so he couldn't have done much. The filmer was on the other side of a fence and there are lots of trees so it seems he could have kind of hid behind trees while still filming. I think once the other officer arrived they were too wrapped up in the moment to try to harass the guy filming.

FlamingLiberal posted:Regarding how schools have changed, you'll notice looking back that people started demonizing public education once we started desegregating the schools, and especially once busing started. At around the same time a lot of groups that were right-wing in nature went after textbooks that weren't 'appropriate' (ie. A lot of the textbooks that appeared in the 1970s that explained how no, the U.S. isn't perfect, or the sex ed stuff that was being taught). A lot of the busing stuff was very prevalent in the north too.

If all the police reports have the same inaccurate story, are they going to charge the other cops with filing false reports? It's absurd to me that the cops will piss and moan about how citizens aren't willing to talk or be truthful to the police when it's evident the police hold themselves to no standard of honesty.

It really looks like the throwdown happens right at the feet of both the dying guy and the black cop. It strains credibility pretty hard to say that the black cop would somehow not notice it. I'd be pretty interested in what his report or deposition says.

The other cops' reports will say something like "When I arrived on the scene there was a taser next to the body. Officer <whatever the guys name is> reported that: ...." This can be twisted as a "confirmation" by the media, but all that is being confirmed is that the cop told that story to more than one person. That is of course unless the other cops were actually in on a conspiracy but that does not currently appear to be the case. edit: Other witnesses interviewed probably said "I heard gunshots and went outside and there I saw a the cop standing over a body, there was something that looked like a gun on the ground next to the body"

I know it's a crime for a citizen in probably all jurisdictions, but is filing a false report as a police officer actually a criminal matter or an administrative one?

I haven't kept up with it too much outside of a handful of blog posts and seeing it on Bill O'Reilly at 8:15pm last night (what the gently caress? We can't show a boob, but some darkie getting mowed down is A-OK?). My understanding is that the officer had multiple witnesses back up his story; however, there was something about them being unnamed witnesses and something to do with the media not being able to name them. I can be 100% wrong, but I was under the impression that the cop had half a dozen people corroborate his story. I'm weary of fuckers popping out of the woodwork and going "oh yeah, that black dude totally did a thing" since that insane woman (literally schizophrenic) was Witness #1 for the Mike Brown shooting.

Here's the thing to keep in mind about the cop video, consider all the other arrests made by this officer which are now suspect because he's on video planting evidence. Think of anyone who may be on death row or executed because of him: now consider how much the city should expect to pay out in the eventual civil suits.

Samurai Sanders posted:They shouldn't have hired an awful, awful person and given him power over other people's lives and freedom so screw'em. But think of the taxes the city will have to raise. Consider the insurance payouts, the future bankruptcy, the bond holders getting stiffed. Which will raise more waves in the state, an officer shooting a black man in the back a few times, or bondholders getting jilted needlessly and insurance paying out where otherwise no payout need exist?

At what point in the story did they release his past crimes (the victim) to the public, was it before or after this video came out? If we lived in a good world all the news stations would question their making GBS threads on the victim so quickly from now on (this will never happen though). Edit: ^^ Are you for loving real?

Why blame the media when you can blame the police who started the lies: quote:A statement released by North Charleston police spokesman Spencer Pryor said a man ran on foot from the traffic stop and an officer deployed his department-issued Taser in an attempt to stop him. quote:An NCPD sergeant who was conducting a traffic stop in the area of Dorchester Road and Scarsdale Avenue reported hearing Slager's transmission that he was out on a traffic stop, and a few minutes later heard Slager say he was in a foot pursuit with the driver who was reportedly running down Craig Street toward the Singing Pines subdivision.

Who do you think Charleston hires for less than $15 an hour? Seriously last time I lived there a county deputy would get around $28-30k a year starting. During the long recruitment process that police departments offer, it's a lot like jury duty.
