Scruffy isn't making an assumption. It states that his camera was off. He should have been required to have it on.

I read on one news outlet that she investigated a disturbance in an alley. When doing so she brought a knife with her. She called the police and when they showed up she approached the car with the knife in her hand and the officer shot her...who know though...


link?

Shouldn't be too hard to backtrace unless you've read 100+ articles on this story.


ETA:

Everything that I've read said no weapon found at the scene. It's possible she had a cell phone, flashlight or key ring, if anything.

That's also a different statement than your previous statements.

What he should have done and what he should have been trained on and required to do are 2 different things.

If you're talking about perfect world scenarios, I agree with you. But your initial comments didn't come off as such.

Then some people need to state it more clearly.

Saying, "The cop should be fired because he didn't have his cam on" is not the same as saying the policy should be to have it on when you respond to a call./

Those are 2 entirely different things, and it's causing confusion.

Seems about right for the level of policing we currently have in America.

I have been stating that it should be policy with the stipulation that to not act in such a way would be a fireable offense 100% of the time.

The only person confused is you, and it's because you're a functioning autistic retard.

You clarified at a later post, but this was an earlier post of yours in its entirety that does not jive with what you're saying now.

He should have turned it on.


According to the protocol, we don't know that the be so.

If it were a black person that was shot everyone here would be saying "There must be more to the story" But she was white so they're ready to convict the cop without any more details

Yep nailed it. It is 40 year old, attractive white women from Oz that commit the majority of crime in this country.

Ultimately, that is the problem. They are often off at crucial times when they are supposed to be on.

As long as there is no punishment for shitting on policy, shitting on policy will continue.

You do realize, the default is for them to be off, and the officer has to manually turn it on, right?

Yes. I believe that is also the same for his car, flashlight, and taser. He cannot use any of them if he does not turn them on.


They also carry handheld radios at all times out of the car, find it odd that you never hear of a incident where they were unable to contact the officer because he forgot to turn on his radio.

Correct, but we do know what didn't happen. Two LEO's, responding to a call, did not have their cameras turned on. We also know the reasons these cameras should be turned on. We know that if they are not turned on they do not work. I am about to throw you a bone here that will help clear all this up.

Many times what people say, and omit from saying is important. I will get to that in a minute. Dash cams point straight in front of the car. She was at the drivers side, conversing with the driver, per the OP.

In the press conference, they said their is no video of the event. Their omission is that they did not say there is no audio of the event. Dash cams also have audio. This is a common stall tactic to buy time.

I bet audio exists and since nobody asked if it did, they conveniently forgot to volunteer that info.

Happens every day. I bet I will get out of the car tonight and forget to turn my portable on. Our dispatchers hit the alert tone every night trying to raise deputies who either can't hear because of background noise or forget to turn on the portable.

The officers’ body cameras were not turned on at the time and the squad camera did not capture the incident.

This is the kind of shite that makes people hate police.
The squad camera faces forward - you've seen traffic stop videos, do they ever show inside the car?

Body cameras aren't/don't turn on until they leave the vehicle (depending on the system used). So there wouldn't normally be any video of the cops sitting in the car - who wants hours of video of two guys bitching about their impending divorces and comparing farts?

quote:

There has to be more to that story.
Unless this is truly a world class moron cop that would make Rod Farva look like a genius, then I have zero doubt that there is significantly more to the story.


And not to victim blame here, but why was she outside anyway? If I call the cops about something suspicious in a dark back alley, I'm not going to run up to the cop car when they first drive up. I know that they're responding to a call, adrenaline pumping, with guns, and that they ALWAYS want civilians out of the way. How does someone not know to stay inside until they ask you to come out?
