re: BRPD releasing the Koy Moore bodycam footage this afternoon.

You’re an idiot. Pulling a gun does not mean you’re going to shoot someone or commit a murder. Do you know how many officers have been murdered because they were too slow to react and didn’t draw their weapon when they should have? You have zero real world experience. Why don’t you just stick to walking drunk in luxury parking garages.

They don’t. They can treat a situation like a potential ambush situation if it is a potential ambush situation. You’re dumb. Nobody said it was an ambush attempt. Police aren’t required to know the intentions of the people who are hiding.

---

What situation isn’t a potential Ambush? Also I would love to see what standard cops have for determining an ambush.

Let’s also be up front, I assume You’re a cop. And thus cop safety is probably your highest priority. Which is a reasonable opinion for you to have

Yeah and this one certainly could be as people have been killed in the exact same fashion.

My highest priority would be the safety of innocent victims and myself. That does not mean that cops don’t consider the safety of the person they are dealing with. Part of that means giving lawful commands for a person to follow to make sure that it never gets to the point where you have to use any type of force.

Ok now we’re at least having an honest conversation.

What is the definition of reasonable suspicion you were given? What are you trained to look for that tips the scale on something like this?

Hiding behind a car and ignoring commands is a pretty good fricking example dumbass.

The seizure started before they ignored commands. Moron.

And if you want to argue with this, tell me if Moore was free to go when the officer first said “put your hands on the car”

So you’re basically saying hiding is enough.

Honestly, there’s no reason to go over this any further. I gave facts that can be articulated just from looking at it as an outsider. This doesn’t even include any previous knowledge of issues related to that apartment complex or others that officers are aware of. You’ve already indicated that you simply believe the reasonable suspicion bar is set too low. I’m saying it is a low standard and that’s not a bad thing. The law allows for temporary infringements that are reasonable. This was a short encounter that could have gone very different. You think it’s all related to the actions of the officers and fail to acknowledge the role of Koy and his friend that led to the police action in the first place. You want to place the blame solely on law enforcement because it will always be their fault to you. You were blaming the police in the original thread before any statement was released by police or the video was shown. You believed you had full knowledge of the incident because you read a social media post. How often do they actually turn out to be 100% truth? Rarely, but you took it and ran with it. I am open to the fact that officers can make mistakes and on occasions even commit criminal acts. I also know that the police will most often do the right things within what the law allows. Your automatic assumptions will always assume the police did something wrong before you actually know.

I don’t know... police not wrong... Koy ain’t either though who wants a gun pointed at them??

I have a law degree and I am a licensed attorney. So yeah, I’m gonna use legal terms.

Most of your facts are exactly this.

Some of it was, which is reasonable because it’s a common occurrence at these places. You haven’t said how many facts you require to reach reasonable suspicion. You don’t even have an attainable standard but you’re saying the officers didn’t have it. My training also specifically references the FACT that you do not have to rule out all innocent possibilities before acting on reasonable suspicion. We get your point. Koy Moore and his friend weren’t guilty of a crime. That’s great. They aren’t required to be and the police aren’t required to know that ahead of time.
