Didn't take long for the dumbassery to start.

Video was Facebook live stream. Cops have a documented process of deleting videos and destroying phones to keep the vids from getting to the public. She was being pretty responsible in my opinion.

Someone is still mad from the other thread I see.

This one looks bad. Not much more to say. If the lady's story is legit, it's very bad and the cop should be in jail.

That doesn't make Alton's shooting any less justified.

This dude could have shot himself for all we know.

We have a after the fact video? Why didn't she film the incident?

Are cops more trigger happy because of recent events? Seems like they should be more aware and less likely to pull but I'm not in their head.

This is awful. Wishing I lived in another country right now.

Yeah I don't blame her for recording it. Cops could have spinned this however they wanted but there is no way they will be able to overcome the video. Smart move by her.

Bull fricking shite. So tired of hearing some blacks spout this shite. You don't fear for your life anymore than any other person in America. If you do, then it's because you put yourself in a position to be fearful, or because the black community judges their collective manhood by "busting a cap" in each other and keeping it real when they are looked at wrong, not because the bogey man is out to exterminate you.

im surprised a cop pulled a gun on me while I'm talking to another cop who had been talking to me for the previous minute/minute and a half asking where I was going(Job interview in St. Louis) and where I was coming from. All the while I had one hand on a steering wheel and one hand reaching to the first officer(state trooper) to get my license back.


This is just stupid

They cant overcome a video where literally nothing is shown but the aftermath and a one sided account of what actually happened?

I think they can.

Has to be because you are black, right? Can't possibly be that the "small town hick cop" was erring on the side of caution in case the Trooper didn't see the gun. No, only possible reason is your skin tone.

And for the record, I've had a cop draw down on me, too, after I told him I was carrying. He held it on me until I retrieved it from under my seat and place it on the top of my car. Why did he do it? Because I could have easily been a psychopath who would try to fire one off at him, so he put himself in the best possible situation to go home to his kids that night, not because I was white.

op will likely get off in this case because the victim (while he was grabbing for his license) was also carrying a concealed weapon which the cop thought he was pulling out on him. Not much could have prevented this sadly


Uhh, using a little restraint and logic when there is a 4 year old in the back seat maybe. Cop says get your ID, and then shoots him for reaching to get it.

All because he told then he had a CCR, which many many classes tell you to do.

She didn't have a choice to go to the hospital. The cops were there "detaining" her until the ambulance arrived.
