Of COURSE the cops are lying. They are getting really good at that.

It’s sad but it isn’t going to matter. You have a Cop with a broken leg, probably the result of events after the shooting, but a Cop with an injury no less. The police are going to walk. All you can hope for is that there is enough humanity in the Cop that shot this kid that he suffers for what he’s done. He can walk away from prosecution and he will. But he cannot walk away from the truth as he knows it to be. He will have to live with it.

There is no “of course” to it. My gut feeling is they are but there is no certainly in that. I doubt we’ll get much done if we are as adamant as the Cops. Cops are to protect us which on rare occasion may require killing. We’d like those killings to be by a Cop protecting a member of the public but they almost never are. Cop’s are killing, often under very questionable circumstances, because they, themselves, “felt” threatened. But we need to keep a level head if we are to deal effectively with this. You are playing a game with an opponent that’s stacked the deck, crammed 10 aces up his sleeve and everyone in the room supports him. Knee jerk condemnation works for them.

It will be very interesting to see how the cops make their story match up with the ballistics report.

Don’t film it, is a big giveaway. Kind of like how they aren’t wearing cameras in the first place.
Always shooting to kill regardless of the severity of the crime is yet another huge issue with the police. The cop has a broken leg, the results of a yet unknown origin, but he is alive. There was no attempt to kill and yet he reacted with a gun and the intent to kill first. This is wrong and the cops excuses just don’t fly. How does killing the driver make sense or make the cop any safer? After shooting the driver the car could’ve just as easily rolled right over the cop because it was out of control. Or it could’ve hurt others. Shooting the driver is a bad move.
This is all based on the cops report of course which I personally already don’t believe based just on this witness but also on cops in general.

We should make this a crime. If an officer denies a citizen the right to record an interaction he/she should be charged with Obstruction of Justice. Automatically! After all, unedited video will supply proof of what hapeened, and that’s the best justice possible.

KUSA also reported that an eyewitness contradicted the police account of the shooting.
Well duh. If you’re the police, you have two choices:
- Tell the truth, and suffer the consequences
- Lie and have a pretty good chance of getting away with it.
Not a tough choice, especially when lying comes so naturally.

“There is something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware”

Cops don’t see the Constitution as a guideline, they see it as interference and something to be gotten around or ignored if they deem it necessary.
In the mind of a cop, your RIGHTS are merely an obstacle he must overcome for the sake of law n’order.
That’s the pervasive sickness going around our police forces.

When I got back from serving Nam and began protesting the war, my dad wanted to know what I was thinking. I sent him the lyrics to that song.

Proof of what happened?
Maybe proof of the aftermath. Filming a dead child would have proved what.
I’m sorry she is dead but riding around in a stolen car. She put herself in that situation.

Of course the cops have to be lying. Riding around in stolen cars makes the deceased even more of a victim.

In what country is it a capital crime to ride around in a stolen car? Not in the United States, last time I checked.

I’m sorry but this comment makes no sense on any level. Not as sarcasm, not as irony, not even as right-wing vitriol. What exactly are you aiming for here?

You don’t sound so sorry, in fact you seem to be gloating. Fake it a little harder.

Sad but true.
We, the public need to stop being thugs ourselves by choosing to subsidize/defend rogue cops’ thuggish behavior.
