How about the officer's response to Harris' cries about being shot and losing his breath?

 

:no:

Prosecutors have already brought charges against 73 year old Robert Bates. Second-degree manslaughter.

How about the officer's response to Harris' cries about being shot and losing his breath?

Just watched the video. Adrenaline is running high, but I'm going to venture a guess that the guy who said that isn't one of the thousands of officers who does his job the right way.

Not to mention number 3 happened in November and isn't even news except for in Jokers mind.

 

 

I think I said something to the effect of "the news broke this week".

If I missed this....

 

 

The volunteer used his personal weapon.

There is always more to see than you seem to see when the police are involved...but of course a rush to judgement is always the best course I guess.

 

Call it what you want. There's video of two homicides and a healthy NBA player left police custody with a broken leg that went untreated and now has the NBAPA, which usually stays out of things like that, is firmly behind him. Making excuses for what happened in those instances is just as insulting to the police who do their job correctly as anything I can say, IMO.

Actually you said awesome week for cops then used the cop charging him with a felony as an example. He was charged months ago, I assume it just made news because either A. the trial just concluded or B. its a really slow week for cop bashing stories so they dug that one hoping it would stick.

I didn't make excuses for any of it, just pointing out there could be another way to look at some of your "Facts".

So you've watched the tapes of the shootings and think there's a chance they walk on them? Interesting.

 

I'm also thinking Thabo didn't break his own leg and decline treatment just to frame the police.

Did I say that?

 

I as always would like for all of the info to come in before deciding. Video and evidence in SC looks bad so far for theofficer but the incident lasted over 4 minutes with only a few seconds on video...there could be more that we don't know. The fact that he was charged looks bad for the officer but it also could be reactionary after what happened in Ferguson.

 

I did watch the video in NY and I'm not satisfied that he struck him in that video with an asp. Basketball players have broken their legs because they twisted too much, we have no idea at this point how it was broke. He walked away like nothing was wrong.

 

If officers are guilty, they 100% need to be charged, I've said that in every case that we've discussed.

I know.... I'm just messing with you.

Now a local paper is claiming that the "training" was doctored and falsified by the Police Department to protect them/him. He was given the position based on philanthropy in the past.

 

Yeesh if true.

Falsifying training records and acting against trainers that would not sign off on it? IF these allegations are true several members of the Tulsa County Sheriff's office should go to prison for a long, long time.
