But assuming guilt without an actual cause of death doesn't?

Why does it always take weeks or months for these stories to come out?

Explain the entire incident since you understand it so well.

Cops are under rules of engagement that criminals are not.

You don't even know the cause of death. the "independent" report is full of "likely" and "possibly." It says nothing.


Yeah, you can't infer that the cops were in the wrong from the facts for some reason that I just can't seem to figure out.....

That sure feels like the full story...

Maybe the cops were wrong, maybe not but these one-sided releases by attorneys are great at using language to "spark outrage" and pull at the heartstrings. They are basically hype men to create division. The media and social justice warriors eat this shite up.

I'm sure he was an angel who had zero impact on the outcome.

Somehow I don't think you follow this same logic when some POS resisting arrest is shot.

someone in this thread said they heard about it closer to when it happened, but i just found it on twitter today. maybe it wasn’t big until it hit social media.

this isn't a court of law, and we don't know the cops identities. Inferring guilt is no more damning than inferring innocence.

We aren't held to the "beyond all reasonable doubt" standard. We aren't convicting anyone.

the dude had fricking schizophrenia, no one is arguing that. it’s how the cops handled the situation involving a dude with schizophrenia.

But hey firing multiple cops after conducting an internal investigation yet to be released isn't causing you to assume anything?

You cannot state that theses cops are highly likely to be at fault and it just shows your lack of character.

If multiple officers have been fired, than this is definitely sketchy

I know state rights are good and everything, but the fact that this man was arrested for a tiny amount of weed, while there are folks in some states legally becoming a millionaire off if weed is freaking wild.

In any case, unless he had some serious health issues, I'd want some serious answers to if my loved one went to jail and ended up randomly dead the next day. I guess we'll see what happened once more info is released

Assuming is for simple people. You do you.

You melted, got so emotionally worked up that you said "frick you" to me, and played the race card all because I will wait for the facts. I could not possibly care less what your opinion of my character is.

Well if 7 guys have already been fired and you're the 8th dude, resigning doesn't seem that far fetched.

Not sure how people being fired and quitting means they are guilty of anything. I got fired for no fault of my own (I was fired for being "too sick to work" despite multiple doctors notes from my GI and PCP noting a genetic illness. Was during my probationary hire period so no wrongful termination unfortunately.) Doesn't mean I broke the law.

I'd have to imagine 99% of this place agrees. It's high time that weed isn't a crime. This situation should have never had a chance to happen.

Nah, I can see nuance. Jacob Blake, that was a good shoot.

These cops getting fired? Negligence at best for them imo. Wrongful death lawsuit will take forever to process because it's cops on trial. But that's the most likely outcome in all of this. Wild that you think it could be so many other things.

What negligence? You can't even say what happened because you have no idea. How do you not see that?
