I wonder how long it'll take before there's some precedent saying you automatically get charged with assaulting a police officer if they pull a gun on you because they're only allowed to do that if they believe there is an imminent risk of physical harm to themselves and all cops follow training perfectly when it's convenient to say they do

my dad was rambling about this the other day and I had no idea what he was talking about. apparently it’s making the rounds on fox. Hispanics are taught to jump cops by their parents I was told.

lol turns out an rear end in a top hat cop assaulted a dad with a baby stroller

This was a huge conservative talking point on twitter for about a week, turns out everyone should have kept in mind that cops are violent whining pissbaby liars who are never held accountable

Report: https://www.sheriff-okaloosa.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IA-2023-031-Final-Report-Jackson.pdf

quote:

* Investigator Hogan showed Deputy Hernandez still photos taken from his BWC video of
the OIS. He showed the frames where the acorn first comes into frame and the
subsequent frames where the acorn can be seen bouncing off the roof of his patrol
vehicle.
* Deputy Hernandez asked, “Acorn?” Investigator Hogan answered, “Acorn.”
* Investigator Hogan asked Deputy Hernandez if in general he was familiar with the
sound of acorns striking vehicles. Deputy Hernandez said he was. Investigator
Hogan then asked if that sound could have been the sound he heard that led him to
believe Mr. Jackson had shot him. Deputy Hernandez said, “It could be. [7
second pause in speaking] I don't think so, but it could be.”



So the other cop on site, without identifying a target or figuring out what was going on, saw the direction Officer "Acorns fired!" was shooting and just started unloading too:

quote:

* Investigator Henderson asked Sergeant Roberts what she did next. She answered, “Uh,
ran to, ran out between the cars that we were, we were talking or ran from the place that
we were talking to the females. Ran out to the, the main roadway, at which point in time
I could see that Jesse was down. Um, he was, I asked him, I think, what or where, or, or,
but it was more of, I want to say it was more of a response, because I heard him say shots
fired, and it was kind of, again, just, I don't know. It's kind of like a, a reaction what way
or one, you know, who, um, which point in time I saw that Deputy Hernandez was down.
Um, he was, had his gun pointed to the back of his patrol car
, at which point in time, um,
when I was drawing my, my pistol, my magazine that was in my, uh, mag mag pouch.
somehow flew out. At which point I thought I had a malfunction. I thought that I
dropped the magazine somehow hit the mag release on my firearm, and that, that was the
magazine that fell out. Turns out it wasn't, it was the one from my mag pouch. That was
why there was one on the ground. Um, at which point in time I, I think I fired, I don't
know how many I fired. I know I fired more than one. Um, I can't tell you exactly how
many, but I fired at the vehicle because I saw Deputy Hernandez down on the ground and
he tells me that shots are fired and he's hit,
and it scared the hell out of me, because I
thought that I was watching him be killed.”

* Investigator Henderson asked if she could identify where the threat was coming from.
Sergeant Roberts answered, “No, but based on what I asked him, I, when I say no, I
mean, I can't tell you what side of the vehicle he was in. I, it was the patrol car. That's
where the threat is coming from, and I'm thinking we have, we've, we've missed the gun
in the pat down, and somehow, he is, he shot Jesse from the car, and Jesse's down.”

* Investigator Hogan asked which agency member shot first, she answered, “I, I don't
know. I don't know if I shot first, or if he shot first. Is that, is that what you're asking?”
Investigator Hogan answered, “Yes, ma'am.” She replied, “I don't know.”

But even after putting deputy #2 through the ringer asking why she was shooting at an unidentified threat, report comes to this conclusion

quote:

Sergeant Roberts’ response was objectively reasonable. Without the benefit of hindsight, and
making split-second decisions based on the information she was gathering through her senses,
Sergeant Roberts acted in a manner consistent with the protection of life in the face of imminent
and immediate danger of death.

quote:

Findings:
Deputy Jesse Hernandez
1. The facts and evidence show Deputy Jesse Hernandez's use of deadly force against Mr.
Jackson was not objectively reasonable. OCSO General Order 11.03, Section E,
Paragraph 35, Excessive Use of Control to Resistance is SUSTAINED.
Sergeant Beth Roberts
1. The facts and evidence show Sergeant Beth Roberts' use of deadly force against Mr.
Jackson was objectively reasonable. OCSO General Order 11.03, Section E,
Paragraph 35, Excessive Use of Control to Resistance is EXONERATED.

So they think it's a gunshot and their first reaction is to fire at the man in handcuffs who's presumably already been searched

I just tried to see if it's actually possible to find some way to contort my body such that I could plausibly fire off my revolver, with hands behind my back, seated and through a windshield, and it turns out the answer is barely but there's no loving way I'd be able to aim the thing, at all. I'd also have to be standing and bent forward as far as possible which come to think of it in a cramped car with a barrier between front and back would probably make it impossible to get a shot off in any direction other than the car seat

the narrative they're spinning on pro-cop websites is that his girlfriend "showed them a picture of him with a silencer" and so the cop was seemingly on high alert for sub-sonic firearm assault.

Now imagine doing all that with a big bulky silencer attached to the gun that the cops somehow missed when they searched you. Also the cop making that excuse thinks silencers make that cool "tweet tweet" laser sound like in James Bond movies and not a slightly less loud gunshot like in real life.

quote:

Auderer left his body camera on when he spoke to police union President Mike Solan and made remarks about Kandula's death.

In footage released in September by the Seattle Police Department, Auderer, a drug recognition expert, told Solan, "it does not seem like there's a criminal investigation going on." Solan's responses can't be heard in the footage.

He cast doubt about how far Kandula was thrown when Dave struck her and said the officer wasn't driving recklessly. He told Solan the student is dead, then laughs adding, "No it's a regular person," and suggests the city should write a check.


“$11,000. She was 26 anyway,” Auderer said, misstating Kandula’s age. “She had limited value.”
Dave is the murderer, Auderer an accomplice who investigated the scene, and Kandula the victim to add context to the quote.

Bellevue officer who fell onto I-5 during VP visit loses health benefits

www.seattletimes.com - Tue, 05 Mar 2024 posted:

A Bellevue police officer who was seriously hurt while escorting Vice President Kamala Harris’ motorcade last year has taken a swipe at the city of Bellevue’s policies after his benefits expired last week. 

Motorcycle Officer Kevin Bereta was part of a team of officers who helped clear the roadway for Harris during a visit to Seattle in August. During the ride, Bereta struck the side of the Michigan Street onramp and fell up to 60 feet onto the southbound lanes of Interstate 5, suffering significant injuries to his back, leg and shoulder, according to a statement from a Bellevue Police Department spokesperson at the time. 

Bereta, who has three kids and has worked for the department since 2018, spent three weeks in the hospital. By February, Bereta was still unable to work, according to a statement from his attorney, Karen Koehler, a senior managing partner at the Stritmatter, Kessler, Koehler, Moore law firm in Seattle. 

Under the contract between the Bellevue Police Officers’ Guild and the city of Bellevue, Bereta had six months to recover and return to work, or he would lose his benefits, the law firm said in a news release last week. 

The guild asked the city to make an exception and extend Bereta’s benefits but “ran into a brick wall,” the law firm alleged. Bereta asked his physician to return to work on “light duty” to retain his benefits, but his doctors advised against it, the law firm continued.

“Officer Bereta served his city, state, and country. He did so faithfully and bravely,” Koehler said in a statement. “But where are the authorities now that he has been hurt in the line of duty? The City of Bellevue’s decision not to extend his disability leave supplement is callous, inhuman and frankly pathetic.” 

In response, the city of Bellevue said city-provided benefits are consistent with other cities in the region and are ratified in agreement with employees’ unions.

“The city has a duty to administer our policies consistently and we are in the process of evaluating these policies to ensure they reflect our value of commitment to employees and responsible stewardship to the community we serve,” the city’s statement said.

In a statement, the police union said it has worked continuously to find a solution with the Police Department and city, but “no solution has been made available.” The guild urged the city to further pursue options for Bereta to retain his benefits before returning to full duty.

“It is incredibly hurtful to all Bellevue officers to watch Kevin, who has suffered such a severe on-duty injury, be treated in such a nonchalant manner,” the union said.

Bereta and his attorney alleged the incident was so severe because a railing on the side of the ramp where Bereta fell was too short. When his motorcycle hit the side of the ramp, Bereta tried to grab onto the railing but wasn’t able to do so. 

“Because the railing was too short, he slid over the top and plunged 60 feet onto the highway below,” the law firm alleged in the news release.

That railing is about 30 inches high from the bridge deck to the top of the concrete rail and about 38 inches from the bridge deck to the top of the aluminum railing, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation. Agency spokesperson Tina Werner said bridge engineers evaluated the railing last year and found it was “structurally sufficient.”

WSDOT policy enacted in 2014 says to design any new bridge with a standard rail height of 42 inches. National standards are that new bridges designed with a barrier system are built to 32 inches.

he fell because he was exceeding the speed limit and he couldn’t negotiate the turn.

quote:

Per protocol, upon completion of the clearing, the motorcycle officers were to quickly operate their vehicles to position them well in front of the Vice President’s entourage so that they could continue to clear in advance.

Officer Bereta caught back up to the procession and was adjacent to several vehicles as they traveled over the Michigan Street onramp. Per protocol, he was not traveling the posted speed limit but was exceeding it. As he began traveling across the ramp, his motorcycle struck the side of the ramp, and he was ejected. His arms moved along the top of the old 27” tall railing, and he tried to grab onto it without success.

I would wager that protocol allows them to exceed the speed limit as long as doing so doesn’t endanger themselves or others.

but also, you shouldn’t lose your ability to receive medical care because of this kind of thing. everyone deserves care.

He gets care, he just will have to pay for it some other way. Also he probably is getting some sort of disability and/or workers comp benefits that go unmentioned for ~reasons~
