re: NOPD has the solution for cop shooting - just don't tell anyone

It will be interesting to see what happens with this. By all accounts the man shot was unarmed, the officer who fired the shots was the one that issued the warrents for his arrest and had an a "fight"(Serpas word) with the victim/suspect two days earlier.

quote:

---

Campbell asserted that Bennett and his brother claim there was no physical altercation before the first shot was fired. That first shot, which struck Bennett, prompted him to run to his relative's house nearby, Campbell said, adding that the brothers allege the officer fired the second shot while Bennett was fleeing.

"There was no scuffle with the officer," she said. "They were ordered at gunpoint to get out of the car and that's what they were doing."

Serpas said it was too early in the investigation to comment on "what the attorney thinks."
