Apologies, that was crass/lazy, I was referencing the killing of Andrew Brown by sheriff's deputies in Elizabeth city

4/26/2021 3:34:31 PM

just watched some of the press conference, and it sure looks like a godawful cover-up went down in Elizabeth City

family was only able to see 20 seconds from one body camera when multiple cops were involved

The police always owe us full transparency. Anything else is tyranny.

Ben Crump getting them frequent flier miles.

I made a joke the other day when I saw the original legal counsel for the family. Said watch out because Ben Crump was coming for his job.

I thought it would take a little longer.

Does Andrew Brown Jr.'s shooting count if he was in possession of a dangerous vehicular weapon?

Does this mean that anyone who contacts a protester with their moving vehicle can be shot and killed, as well?

Really bizarre how this is getting buried.

I'd like to hear the discussion surrounding the whole "car as a weapon" aspect.

" Here’s the timeline of the shooting based on information from the audio recording, exactly as published in the County Times: At 1:26:35 p.m. on April 13 the trooper begins firing his service weapon, a Glock 22 .40 caliber pistol, which has a magazine capacity of 15 rounds. At 1:26:39 p.m., the firing has stopped briefly after 10 shots; those shots were fired in five seconds. At 1:26:42 p.m., the recording shows the trooper fired shot number 11 three seconds after the initial salvo. Evidence markers from the scene indicated the officer moved about nine to 12 feet closer to Ham before firing shot number 11. At 1:27:30 p.m., emergency sirens can be heard, 48 seconds after the 11th shot was fired. At 1:27:39 p.m., the officer opens fire again, firing four additional shots at close range, 57 seconds after shot number 11. The gunfire ended at 1:27:42 p.m."

Also, yet another no knock warrant met with gunfire. Attempted murder charges instead of instant death penalty this time.

"Marioneaux Jr. doesn't have a criminal record. Pensacola Police says he is not a suspect in the January shooting investigation that led police to his home last Thursday morning. Dixon says she has no idea why police would want information in his home."

So they did a no-knock warrant at his house, and he's not even a suspect in the investigation that prompted it? And now he's facing an attempted murder charge? There's got to be more to that. How could that still be happening?

2/16/2022 11:10:30 AM

Jesus Christ.

Can somebody tell me what the argument in favor of no knock warrants is? Because it seems blatantly bad and wrong and has resulted in many fuck ups. Aside from just giving far too much power to law enforcement, is there a reasonable defense of it?

2/16/2022 11:29:07 AM

Yeah, element of surprise. But I can't understand how they'd get a warrant to do one at someone's house who isn't even a suspect (again, maybe there's more to it, but regardless, it's wrong)

The woman then told police there was a gun in the vehicle. The woman started backing toward a fence in the parking lot. Several officers approached her and had their weapons drawn, Shédanja said. “She did not pull out a weapon on them,” she said. “She did not even have a stick in her hand.” The woman ran three steps away from officers, Shédanja said, and police shot five times."

Nope, she had a gun and pointed it at the police. Cops doing their job.

If you look closely at it that doesn’t look like a gun

And cops job is to apprehend. Not execute people without due process. We have rights and stuff in this country supposedly

it does look like a gun though

It's really not a great idea to frame this debate as all cops being good, or all cops being corrupt bloodthirsty killers. That's not productive.

6/4/2022 9:54:02 AM

What kind of gun has finger guards like that? Just looks weird esp considering all the other encoding artifacts

But regardless just having a gun doesn’t give cops the right to shoot someone.

What do you think they should have done?

6/5/2022 9:29:51 PM

Certainly they could have done something. However, jumping in after a drowning man is almost suicide. He would drag you down with him.

I would think that an officer would be trained in swimming rescues though, and should be better equipped to handle the situation.

6/5/2022 9:50:22 PM

It feels like they could've at least looked around for something to throw to him

^^They claimed that he shot from the car, and it then became a public safety issue.

I think the public safety issue here is the number of rounds fired by the police officers. If he was hit 60 times, I wonder how many rounds went flying wild.

7/5/2022 9:53:12 AM

^about 20 extra from what I read.
