so when do people start rioting against the police? police planting drugs on people WTF
in any other sane western country, that shit would be a huge story and whole police force would be under investigation

I just now heard about Duncan Lemp. Shit's fucked up. I think with more stories like this we're going to see a contingent of more libertarian/revolutionary type conservatives extending their distrust of government to include police.
roflmao what a horrible non-response
Yes, I'm reserving judgement. They were wearing body cams so it should be pretty obvious what happened when information starts getting released. If it all remains hush hush forever, then I'm going to assume that the police were in the wrong.I’d hold off a while longer before deciding. Police statement about it says Lemp was armed with a rifle and refused multiple commands to drop it and was shot by officers inside the house.
sounds more likely than the “eye witness” version claiming police shot him through the window/wall from outside before even coming inside.

well, they have now said on record they have evidence from his phone that tied the drugs in question to him prior to police contacting him, which would pretty much sink the “planting” of those drugs.
where did they say that? its not in the written statement
They issued a second one. Scroll down on their Twitter post. Updated with new info.
oh, now they claim they took it from suspects pants pocket - if it were indeed so, what was the police officer doing with that evidence by taking it out and putting it on the ground next to the suspect while arresting him ?
this whole thing is beyond ridiculous - if police are doing this now to blacks, imagine what they did 50-60 years ago and how many innocents ended up in jail due to racism
I’d imagine they pulled it out of a pocket while searching and tossed it on the ground to finish searching then went back to pick it up after securing him. Not gonna just hold it in your hand while you keep searching and handcuffing.
we'll see how this turns out
considering all the shit cops do and get away with, it is perfectly plausible they tried to plant drugs on this guy just because
unlikely, especially if they said they have evidence on the phone proving it. Can’t make that up as defense would have access to it.
