Crime What did the cops do wrong today. Vol. 2

[dildos]

This shooting happened on the 14th, one day before your post. Footage will never be released that quickly. In some cases it’s not even up to the police to release it. If there’s any outside investigatory body (as there should be imo) then it will be up to them whether to release the footage or not. A judge or the prosecutors could block the release. There are also privacy concerns: the family would need to ok the release and could potentially block it. In DC I know it’s up to the mayor whether to release footage.

Now I have no idea what the situation in wherever in MD this is, and I’m not looking it up right now. I’m also not saying this shooting was justified as I have no idea. But it’s not so simple as to say, “the cops refused to release it so they must be lying.” There have been cases where footage came out later (was released long after the shooting) that vindicated police.

It would be better if there were more formalized and consistent rules regarding the release of footage. But you also have to consider this proliferation of body cams is still pretty new.

Whoops my bad. I didn’t know when this story took place. Yeah I understand how the video footage won’t be released for a while, that’s totally understandable.

Must be a white guy so this will die soon or not be reported at all. If the body cam footage shows the cops killed him while he was sleeping that should be a murder charge for all of them.

Cops have an incredibly hard job.

Many literally go to work wondering if they are going to go home that night. Its a dangerous profession.

And they do get tired of people committing crimes, over and over and over again.

With that being said, obvious cop abuse should not be tolerated.

Also why we need the best of the best to be police officers.

When a person is no longer a danger and the cops are violent with them, there is no excuse.

you are more likely to die by police than corona virus in america

 

[Javelina]

[RoosterHucklebuck]

you are more likely to die by police than corona virus in america

And your chances increase even more if you are a criminal.

The woman who was shot in her home in texas, the police released body cam either the same night or the very next day. So either that shooting was fake, or these cops are bullshitting, or some other kinda fuck shit.

This one:

Released within hours

Edit; to be clear, I agree, bodycam is usually never released this quickly, so what is up with this one

 

[Richmma80]

They need time to edit the footage and add in some cgi

 

[Roy D Rayge]

Refusing to release the body cam footage sounds a little suss. I'm with the family on this one.

Fort Worth has had a ton of really bad shootings so maybe they streamlined the process through force? Idk tbh

Dude was an anti-Government militia asshole.

There is probably a legit reason why he wasn't allowed to own guns. Swat teams are not taking guys like this out for no reason while areas of Maryland are warzones.

OK. What was the reason?

 

[Thrawn33]

If the cops come busting down your door, you're gonna wake up regardless of whether you were sleeping before hand. No idea what he did after that but he sure as shit wasn't sleeping in his bed when he was shot.

Imagine waking up to the sound of your door being kicked in, you may not hear the "POLICE! Search Warrant!!" So you grab your gun thinking someone's breaking in.....

 

[Alphaboy]

What? A white guy?!

In any case, there is NO reason to ever shoot someone sleeping... ever!

Areas of Maryland are a warzone? You mean Area of Maryland, as in just Baltimore? Some of the cities on the border with dc are kinda bad, but for the overwhelming most part, Maryland is a very nice, well to do state.
In Potomac Maryland, it is very common to have million+ dollar mansions. It's where the swamps super rich and well connected live. There's not a ghetto even close to where he lives.

 

[RoosterHucklebuck]

We don't know. So far we have only heard one side of the story from the guy's family.

 

[Bloody Pulp]

I’m guessing the swat team didn’t just roll up and start unloading into the house from outside while everyone slept. So I’m leaning toward the 4:30am eye witness is full of shit and a couple of weeks/months from now when more info comes out this’ll end up being nothing or dude was actually armed and confronted police, etc.

 

[nhbbear]

when will people realize that you only call the police when you want someone shot? if your boy is having a seizure, DONT CALL THE COPS. If your gf locks you out of the house DONT CALL THE COPS.
only call the cops after everything has calmed down to normal and you need an official party to carry away the body or take the statement.

shut up with this shit. Millions of police calls for every one shooting. And for every hundred police shootings, something like 97 are good shoots.

 

[Krallang]

I think the problem is doing no knock warrants in the middle of the night....

Yes or no?

It's not like they couldn't snatch the guy up as he's leaving his house or something in the middle of the afternoon. The kid was 21 and lived with his parents. I'll 100% bet if the cops called the parents in the middle of the afternoon the situation would have been deescalated. Instead they kick down ur door at 4:30am without identifying themselves.

As a Marine combat veteran I woulda been prone and laid at least 4 of those cops out. Truth be told my dogs woulda started barking if anyone came within 100 feet of my house and I woulda deescalated on my own. But i understand if any citizen grabs a gun on a no knock warrant and they have zero priors.

Shit smells like shit. anyone with zero combat experience gets trigger happy.

No I don’t think I will. Some gum shoe blowing away an autistic kid having seizure because his parents called 911 instead of an ambulance is always a tragedy

How can they just refuse to release the footage lol what's the fucking purpose of body cams then???
