October 28, 20169 yr By all accounts, Mr. Dubose was never a violent offender, but there may have been something in his history that could explain why he felt the need to draw his gun in the first place. Like being born black?
October 28, 20169 yr Like being born black? Nice cheap shot. No where in my post did I mention race. If you knew me, you would not have said that. In my line of work I deal with all kinds of people, including those with a history of threatening behavior and some with extensive history of violence. Some are unpredictable depending on what drugs they have in their system. Most of the people I work with are not like that. However, if I know that I will be working with a violent person, my approach to them is different than someone with no history. I am not saying Mr. Dubose was violent, as my post said. I was asking that IF the police knew something about him that the public didn't, their approach to him might be different than their approach to someone else...BLACK OR WHITE? In that case I could see a criminal history being allowed.
October 28, 20169 yr Nice cheap shot. No where in my post did I mention race. If you knew me, you would not have said that. My response wasn't directed at YOU, it was directed at the officer in question.
October 28, 20169 yr I'm shocked this is going to trial. Would've bet a lot of money that he and his lawyers would've went the plea deal route.
October 28, 20169 yr I'm shocked this is going to trial. Would've bet a lot of money that he and his lawyers would've went the plea deal route. I normally would agree with you but in this case I dont. I dont see him getting convicted of the charges brought against him.
October 28, 20169 yr I normally would agree with you but in this case I dont. I dont see him getting convicted of the charges brought against him. Of course you don't. You think anyone that disobeys an order from a police officer should be executed on the spot.
October 28, 20169 yr Author I'm shocked this is going to trial. Would've bet a lot of money that he and his lawyers would've went the plea deal route. Not sure the politician Deters offered a deal?
October 28, 20169 yr Author I normally would agree with you but in this case I dont. I dont see him getting convicted of the charges brought against him. He would walk if I was on the jury. The criminal tried to put the car in gear as the officer was leaning into the car.
October 28, 20169 yr He would walk if I was on the jury. The criminal tried to put the car in gear as the officer was leaning into the car. Least shocking post ever. Anyone with the title of "Officer" would walk regardless of what they did if you were on the jury.
October 28, 20169 yr Self defense is my guess.If true, it seems that would be a very hard thing to argue based on the video.
October 28, 20169 yr Author The video quickly discredits that. It all depends on what angle you viewed the video from. I viewed it from the right and you viewed it from the left. I don't think we will ever view a cop video from the same angle.
