seems like this is the situation that happened, no?



Based on half the story, yes. Hopefully the cop had a body cam so that there will be no doubt one way or the other.

Luckily, the guy didn't die. The trooper ended up being fired 2 weeks later and charged with assault and battery.

Yep, that particular guy at the gas station complied 100% and we still shot. Just YouTube search cop shoots man at gas station.

And the cop was charged with assault and battery. If any of us shot someone, we would be charged with attempted murder

she seemed a lot less rattled than the cop

which I find incredibly odd


Because "they" expect black people to "act" out, cuss, rage, etc. Glad she handled herself properly and didn't act hood, ghetto. If she'd act like Sandra Bland people would be saying she should have been calm, respectful. Now she calm, people think it's strange she didn't act out, ghetto.

Is he wrong though? People love to post a rap sheet if it exists as if it changes the facts of the story. Whether the victim is a POS or not has no bearing on whether or not the officer acted properly.

Yep

Considering her story makes little sense, and she's just a little rattled and biased, I'm inclined to not. 

Let's wait for the full story to come out, not just the aftermath. Shocking proposition I know


And isn't that what makes America great? Civil discussion. And I agree on waiting until more facts are fleshed out.

I see our agreement isn't going to last more than one post.

What did it matter in BR? That shooting is no more or less justified if Sterling is a saint or a thug.

I remember that video. Crazy you get shot because an officer tell you to get your license. Then you can hear the guy asking saying "why you shoot me", "you told me to get my license".

No it wasn't. The police did not know he had a rap sheet at the time. In fact, they had no name. So it had absolutely no bearing on the officer shooting. Still justified, IMO.

As far as I'm concerned, any story that comes out later are no more believable than her on the spot description.




No of course, let's take the one side of the story from a biased individual that makes no sense and run with it. Very logical.

The other video we could see most of the altercation and how everything went down. This video all we can see is the aftermath and what his girlfriend says happened.

Let's wait and see what the official police report says.

I think the cop told him not to reach for his gun but the guy reached for it, or something, anyways.

the only reason the rap sheet was discussed at all was in response to his family members saying he was a dindunuffin ,was a good boy just trying to sell cd's to support his chirren.

That was a flat out lie and was rebuked with the rap sheet.
Rap sheet had absolutely nothing to do with his altercation with the cops.

Because police reports are also always 100% truthful and non-biased 100% of the time, right? Police never ever CYA too? Come on.

It supports that his resisting was more than just the nervous jitters of someone afraid for his life. It directly contradicts the bullshite that his family is putting out to make him look like some model citizen to help incite unrest. It is very relevant, at least to me.


I agree that it doesn't make the shooting justified or not, but it is a very pertinent piece of info. In a very similar way, if they guy in this video has no rap sheet, that would be a pertinent piece of info for me as well. But even if he did, it doesn't change the justifiability (not a word, but close enough ) of this shooting.

again. The rap sheet had to do with responding to the dindu claims by the family.
