The other difference, as far as we know from Early Reporting (tm), is that whereas in Yanez' shoot, the partner couldn't clearly see what was going on inside the car, in this case the partner is going to have to rather directly either say it looked like a good or bad shoot. I mean, I guess he could say he just closed his eyes and then a woman got shot, buutttt...

Yeah, that cop who blasted that Australian lady just brought down a ton of poo poo down on a whole bunch of his bosses.

You're gonna have the Australian ambassador calling up state department, attorney general's office, the governor, the mayor and whoever else they can think of.

Now the American ambassador to Australia is getting hammered by the prime minister, all the other ministers, the news, the family all looking for answers.

And all this poo poo is gonna roll down on that PD.

There is gonna be a lot of people hating their lives right about now.

Because if it doesn't get sorted out satisfactorily, all those Americans that gently caress up in Australia, including service members, that would normally just pay a fine and damages are gonna get locked the gently caress up.

It's happened before, and no one has a good time.

Not like anyone will give a gently caress, the usual people who'd defend this with no information are the same folks who wouldn't give a gently caress about suspicious lapses in camera footage.

It wouldn't be very useful in this case, since apparently the shooter fired across his body. Honestly, it would be kind of pointless half the time anyway, since questions of lawfulness often turn on the events leading up to the shooting.

CommieGIR posted:

Doesn't really change anything, there's still a strong tendency for juries to acquit in police shooting cases if the victim was black versus white, as well as an unwillingness for prosecutors to fully push the case. Which still highlights BLM's complaint.
Do you have any evidence to support the insinuation that the prosecution spiked the case against the cop who shot Philando Castile? Or any other case they chose to bring to trial?

As a dashcam owner, police have zero justification for not running their cameras 24/7. Slap in a 32gb SD card and you've got a couple hours of 4k footage that can jump into "DON'T DELETE THIS" mode when prompted. Backing everything up requires a pricier setup, but accountability for the wearer is worth its weight in gold.

Discharging a gun across a seat inside a vehicle does not sound fun at all for either cop. Like, I can't imagine the cop would do that without being scared for his life?

I've been trying to think of how he hosed up that badly and I keep drawing a blank. Gun out sitting in their lap with their finger on the trigger and pointed at just the correct angle to intersect with the victim but still miss the cop and their partner. And then what? Someone sneezes? The cop twitches funny? Why would the gun be unholstered in the first place?

How in the gently caress do you draw your weapon out of your leg holster while sitting? This dude had to loving really try for it, he can't claim it was an accident or he blinked and the gun went off. Like, the physical exertion needed to draw a weapon from a leg holster while seated in a vehicle is nuts. He had to have rolled up weapon already drawn itching to put someone on ice.

South Korea Proposes Military Talks With North at Their Border


quote:

The South wants to send a military delegation to the border village of Panmunjom on Friday to discuss “stopping all hostile activities that raise military tension” along the border, Vice Defense Minister Suh Choo-suk said on Monday.

Such a meeting would be the first between the two governments since 2015 and the first inter-Korean military dialogue since 2014.
