This Cincinnati case and the events the officer said what happened being much different than what the actual video showed, did make me think about this case again. These events do happen very quickly, and in the officers minds what happened may not have been exactly how it gone down. So it does make me wonder about this case again some, and if this case would have been viewed differently if their was a body cam for this one too. Which I am not saying Brockman was wrong, because we will never know what happened after it went off camera. Just saying these bodycams do at least let it be known more exactly how things went down.

What you are forgetting is that in the UC case the cop shot immediately when the car started to move, the Brockman case, shots weren't fired until at least 10 secs after the car accelerated down the road which tells me he gave her plenty of time to stop etc. The car did not come back into the picture until around 30 seconds after it left the video frame.

Didn't forget that at all. The cop also was only on the side of the car with the car not moving that fast at all. Now the cop made it seem like the car took off really fast after that. Which if it did the car probably would have made it much further down the road to where it wouldn't have made it back into the picture at all. So the car couldn't have gone that fast since it couldn't have made it that far. Also she probably had to be coming to a stop or slowing down for her to have got it into reverse. So if she was slowing down was his life still in danger? Was she shifting to stop the car completely before she was shot? It would have been very hard for her to be accelerating forward for her to be shot then her arm falling to shift it to reverse which is almost impossible depending what shifter it is. So there is a lot of things that a body cam may have showed differently. Obviously there were witnesses who also had different versions of what happened than the cop too. Which also understandable if those versions are unreliable too.

 

So I'm not saying it didn't go down exactly like the officer said and his life may have been in such danger to where he had to shoot. However if this cincy case shows anything. Most people were backing the policeman when it sounded like he was being dragged and his life on the line. If it wasn't for the body cam the victim would have looked like the bad guy the whole time. So I do think a body cam in this other case may have made things look a little different. Especially what If the body cam showed the car slowing down to almost a stop before he shot? So yes a body cam in this other case could have showed a whole other version or it could have made his version even more clear.

Wasn't deputy brockmans foot or ankle broken in this incident when he finally got off the car?

 

He was actually struck by the vehicle. C'mon...

Didn't he even say he didn't actually break his foot or ankle until he got off the call? Which people at the scene and in the car even say he jumped on the car and as we seen he was only on the side of the car when it left view. And as I mentioned if the car truly was accelerating fast it would have made it far enough down the road to where it wouldn't have got back into camera view. Not to mention in most cars it takes your arm motion going up or forward to switch from drive to reverse. So how did it go to reverse if she was shot when it was accelerating? Or maybe she was slowing down to even stop and shifting the car to park when shot and it only got to reverse. Just like with this cincy incident. If it wasn't for the body cam most would have believed the cop story of his life was in danger and the victim was using the car for a weapon and was dragging the police officer while accelerating. I mean if it wasn't for the body cam, then you probably would say the same thing about that saying cmon wasn't the cop being dragged. That would have been the story that seemed most likely until the body cam showed other wise.

 

I am not saying it didn't go down exactly like officer brockman said because it really might have. However just like with this case none of us really know for sure how it actually would have looked on camera. If the camera showed the car slowing down and breaking would people still say the multiple shots were justified? No one knows and sadly no one ever will. So I am not saying he is guilty of it. Just stating how a body cam for that also would have helped clear it all up. So this is more stating how body cams would be a good thing for all police to have in today's age.

I posted this in another thread on body cameras. I am going to post it again here and for once I am taking the last word on a topic.

 

Switching gears my objection with body cameras is this, Police Work is both art and science and the best officers possess a wide artistic skill set. Cameras will make police work mostly science based. Hopefully it ends up being a good thing in the long run because we will have some growing pains along the way.

 

========================

 

This unfortunate incident has run its course on BGP. I wish Deputy Brockman, his family and the family of Samantha Ramsey all the best moving forward.
