Bad Cop Going Down (hopefully) - Citizen Sure to Get Payday

[Lex Concord]

Wow...just wow.

Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com

Wha' happen, Lex?

 

[IndyGal65]

OMG...that kid would rot in jail if it wasnt for that video.

 

[Lex Concord]

Wha' happen, Lex?

After seeing the statement from the officer's attorney, that he would vigorously protest the charges in court, probably nothing.

I mean, the report he filed clearly contradicts the video evidence (i.e. he filed a false report)

Only an officer acting within the limitations of his authority would feel the need to do that .

 

[NYFelon]

OMG...that kid would rot in jail if it wasnt for that video.

And as awful as this sounds, the boy should count himself lucky. But for sheer accident that discharge could have ended his life. It's unfortunate the taxpayers will bear the burden of this sociopath's actions.

You are so right. Thank god for the video.

This newscast reveals that the police department saw the surveillance video 2 days after the event. Yet they still went along with the officer's clearly false police report, and let the citizen sit in jail for 4 months.

So, since this is a Sheriff's Department, do those who circled the wagons form a thin brown ring?

Gross

Gross

I found the facts as presented rather disgusting myself.

Did the cop shoot out the street light when he struck the man and fired the gun? It got significantly darker after the shot.

Most surveillance videos cameras are going to have automatic aperture settings. The cameral likely sensed the bright flash and adjusted the aperture to let in less light.

IR night surveillence camera, it would have automatically adjusted due to the flash of the discharge.

I hope the SOB rots in jail. Even when I was trained in riot control with the Army Guard, hitting above the shoulders is a no-no.

Thanks for the clarification. I hope that cop gets the book thrown at him.

The officer's pension should be put up for collateral instead of the taxpayers being bent over a barrel for obvious infringements. If I did something like this to someone on the street, I'd bet I would stand to lose everything I've ever worked for!

Pathetic but true!

Now that young man can sign up here and have some of our resident LE groupies tell him how things like that don't happen and tell him how he needs to get help with his anger issues if he still has any objections to that fine officer's service to the community.

I just wonder how long this crap has been going on before there were cameras everywhere.

That and I'm quite disappointed by my fellow humans' in ability to do the right thing when nobody is watching.
