Video proves cops shot hostage without warning, lied about circumstances

Neenah — Police officers gave hostage Michael L. Funk no warning to drop his handgun before they shot and killed him Dec. 5 outside Eagle Nation Cycles, according to video evidence obtained exclusively by USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin.
A prepared statement that was issued by Neenah Police Chief Kevin Wilkinson about 10 hours after the shooting said Funk was shot after he didn't obey police commands to drop his handgun.
In addition, the criminal complaint against accused hostage-taker Brian T. Flatoff stated Menasha police officer Raymond Berna heard officers yell, "Police, show me your hands" or "Police, drop the gun" before officers shot Funk.
The video, which was recorded by a dashboard camera of a Neenah police car, contradicts those statements.

But it gets better. Apparently there was a bit of history between this guy and these cops...
quote:
When police killed him, Funk was a party to a lawsuit against Neenah and its police department. According to that suit, a Swat team executed a search warrant on Eagle Nation on September 21, 2012 in hopes of finding “a complex drug manufacturing and distribution operation in conjunction with the Hells Lovers motorcycle gang and suggested activities and persons in the facility as if it were an episode of the television series, Sons of Anarchy.”

Wasn't issued a warning? How about the idea of not waving a gun around at innocent people?
I'd say reaching the age of adulthood should be sufficient time to know not to go pointing guns at others, and that should serve as sufficient warning.

Maybe you're good with living in a country where the cops can just shoot you down like a dog, lie about it, and then get off without any consequences. But as for me, I prefer to live in a country where everyone is equally protected under the law and no one is above the the law, especially those who are suppose to uphold those laws.

No, he wasn't.

When did he wave or point his gun at anyone? The guy was shot the instant he came out the door.

I think we should all take the advice in your sig when it comes to your post.

From what I gathered this guy worked at the bike shop. This other guy shows up with a gun demanding a bike back that he'd sold to the shop. The owner told the guy who worked there (the one the cops later killed) to lock himself in a back room. At some point he makes a run for it and is shot and killed by police. As for the gun, perhaps it was his personal carry or perhaps one they kept at the shop in case they were robbed.
Either way, it does not excuse the cops who shot him down nor does it excuse the lies told by the cops to try and cover up their actions.

Cops are blood thirsty. Pulling a trigger gives them a rush.

I know you started this to defend a biker against cops but you do know this never would have happened in the first place without biker gangs right? Just like Waco never would have happened. Sure the cops screwed up Waco, and might have screwed this up, but both situations were started because one biker was shooting at another biker and the police had to respond. Can you at least admit that much is true? Just a yes or no answer, would either of those situations have happened if bikers hadn't pointed guns at other bikers?
