Based on what I read, it sounds like the officer was justified in shooting. If you point a gun at an officer, you will probably get shot.


Agreed

Get rid of the thugs with badges and I'll show respect. I have zero criminal history and have had multiple run ins with pieces of shite that have badges.

They verify by VIN#, so this is a lie.

Just the other day I had a repo man trying to take my car that’s been paid off for 5 yrs. He had the car already hooked up before I confronted him. He had the wrong address and wrong VIN.

He needs to get that flashlight checked out. It shot up his neighbor's house.

so when the government shows up to your house for no reason at all. And tells you to surrender your weapons to you, you are going to comply huh? Glad you back over reaching goons.


None of that happened. Take your cop hating glasses off and reread it.

The family says that the repo man/tow truck driver had the wrong address for the repossession, and that they have the payments to show the vehicle was current.



Yeah, ok


We had a somewhat similar incident near my house, also in North Alabama. The deputies showed up at the wrong house to issue a warrant. Man saw shadows walking around his house. Went outside with a shotgun and the deputies unloaded on him.

What does the OT make of this one?


That there was a reason the tow driver had a cop with him when he made the repo.

Did you pull a gun on him and then the cops?

Maybe do their due diligence and see that the tow truck driver was trespassing on this guys property and deserved to be run off

Aren’t aren’t going to do that while a suspect has their gun pointed at them. You want to be heard? Put the gun down.

For some reason we now have an anonymous tip line set up by ALEA for this case. I have no idea why. There is security video, and they have bodycam video. I'm sure they've looked for and found any other video from the neighborhood already. They know who was shot. They know who shot him. I don't know what they could be looking for from the public.

DECATUR, Ala. (WHNT) — The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s (ALEA) confidential tipline is open for information regarding the investigation into the death of a 39-year-old man killed in an officer-involved shooting.

Stephen Perkins was killed by Decatur police in the early morning hours of September 29th following an incident surrounding a vehicle repossession. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) said Perkins died in a nearby medical facility after he pointed a weapon toward an officer, and the officer shot at him.



ALEA confirmed in its most recent press release that Perkins’s body was transported to the Alabama Department of Forensic Science (ADFS) for an autopsy to be completed.

The ALEA State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) said its confidential tipline is open for people to share any information regarding the investigation. “All evidence is currently being reviewed, however, if anyone has any information to share, please call SBI’s confidential tipline at 1-800-392-8011 or email at sbi.investigations@alea.gov,” ALEA said.

“On behalf of Decatur Police Chief, Todd Pinion and ALEA Secretary Hal Taylor, we continue to ask for everyone’s patience as ALEA’s SBI conducts what must be a very thorough and methodical investigation,” the agency added in the release.
