re: Iberia Parish Sheriff: handcuffed man in cop car shot himself: 8/21 update

Negative Nomad, What you are wanting to do is to ignore the fact that this police department has had a history of terrible and violent behavior for no reason. No one is saying that someone having a gun on them after being detained is impossible, no one is even saying that people haven't accidentally shot themselves before. What we are saying is that in this specific situation, it sure smells like the police are trying to cover up the fact that they shot this guy and killed him and just blame it on something that is really hard to imagine happening. Look, I know that he could have very well been smoking a joint and that is how they found the drug paraphernalia on him, however, a decent cop would have searched him right after that, not just asked if he had anything else on him and taken him at his word. Assuming that these cops didn't do that, it is still completely outside of my realm of thinking to imagine that this guy got in the car, with his hands behind his back, and decided to take the gun out and then shot himself accidentally. YOu might believe that, and you certainly can, but please stop thinking that people are rushing to a conclusion when the mounting evidence is easily pointing to the fact that the police shot this man in the freaking back and he died.
