OT Black Man In Minnesota Dies After Cop Kneels On His Neck/ Portland Riots

just stating what I read....and a cop can carry a second weapon I'd imagine...I don't read every post in most threads...I open the site and go to recent posts ...it's all good. I know cops know how to create an alibi and have each other's backs. Also how to plant evidence. I certainly don't know enough to assume anything

 

Kenneth Walker had the only known 9 mm pistol at the scene. He admits he fired a shot from it when the cops broke in. Seems like a real stretch to suppose a cop switches to a second gun in the heat of a gun fight. I think folks are working way too hard to make this something other than what it was: a shit show search raid that went totally wrong, resulted in a horrible and needless death, but ultimately was not a criminal act by the police.

 

that could totally be right...the article I read said the bullet did not match the guys gun....which is why it's possible there was a burner weapon on site ...just possible..not fact and not hard to speculate about at all. Hard to trust the police dept much these days given the recent abuses of power but hopefully there's no cover up

 

The ballistics report said the bullet was too damaged to verify that it came from Walkers gun: “due to limited markings of comparative value, (the) item was neither identified nor eliminated as having been fired from #45 (Walker’s 9 mm pistol). It had blood on it, which supported that it was the bullet that hit the officer. It was from a 9 mm gun and all of the police were using guns that fired .40 cal ammunition. No other 9 mm bullets were found. Walker admits firing one shot. That all is consistent with a conclusion that his bullet hit the cop. As far as any charges against the police goes, it seems to me that Walker’s statement that he fired a shot in the direction of the door is all that ultimately matters. Police can legally return fire to defend themselves.

 

like I’ve said. Let’s see the FACTS


there were some cops in California that didn’t know lying on police reports wasn’t allowed. Never trust the police at their word

 

This is old and has been debunked.

 

debunked by who...the AG's press conference? Has the police department complied with the open records request yet?

what I read was that the AG said that the police involved were only issued .40 caliber service weapons. But if one of them had been issued a 9MM service weapon, it does enter some doubt into the equation. I also read the medical examiner failed to perform a gun powder residue test on the injured cop, which is almost always SOP, and would help to determine the distance from weapon for the injury.

still, the entire situation stinks to high heaven and black America is right to be enraged. There is always wiggle room and mitigation for police, none for victims, and almost never any reform of procedures and process. I think we all know that before the year is out, more minorities will be killed by police in questionable circumstances just as fucked up as the ones we're talking about here. And of course, no concrete changes, but the country is tired of the protests so those people should shut up and take the gains they've made...even though they haven't made any

 

Let’s assume that a cop had a 9 mm despite the AG report. Let’s assume that the friendly fire scenario is true and the cop who was wounded was shot by another cop. It makes no difference as to whether murder charges should have been filed. Kenneth Walker admits he fired a round at the people breaking into the apartment. That’s all that is needed for the police to be justified in returning fire. The police entered the premises legally and were shot at. They can shoot back.

 

They can if Count Dracula gets a warrant.

New Body-Cam Footage Raises Questions About Breonna Taylor Death Investigation

Footage and documents obtained by VICE News depict Louisville police officers apparently violating department policies and cast doubt on the integrity of the crime scene and the investigation.

Hours of body camera footage from Louisville Metro Police Department officers and SWAT team members paint a telling picture of the immediate aftermath of the police raid in which Breonna Taylor was killed.

The footage, which was obtained by VICE News and documents what was seen by officers who responded to the scene after the shooting, has not previously been made public. It shows officers appearing to break multiple department policies and corroborates parts of Taylor’s boyfriend’s testimony. It also raises questions about the integrity not only of the crime scene but of the ensuing investigation into what happened that night.

The footage was captured by 45 different body cameras and included as part of the investigative file compiled by the LMPD’s Public Integrity Unit and shared with the Kentucky attorney general’s office. (No footage from the raid itself has been released, and for months, LMPD has insisted that none exists, saying that officers in this unit often operate in plainclothes and were not required to wear body cameras. VICE News has previously reported that crime scene photos contradict initial statements by the LMPD claiming that the officers involved, who work narcotics, do not wear body cameras. Photographs of officers taken from that night clearly show Tony James, one of the at least seven officers present for the raid, wearing a body camera over his right shoulder.)

 

GEORGETOWN, Texas (KWTX) – Williamson County Sheriff Robert Chody, named in an indictment Friday charging tampering with evidence stemming from an investigation into the death of a former Killeen high school football player after a chase in March 2019, was booked into his own jail Monday.

The indictment alleges Chody destroyed or concealed video in the death of Javier Ambler, 40.

Chody, who turned himself in, was released after posting a $10,000 bond, online records showed.

Jason Nassour, the general counsel to the Williamson County Attorney’s Office, was also indicted for tampering with evidence Friday, according to online records.

ATLANTA -- A former Atlanta area police officer who acknowledged choking a Black man during a 2017 traffic stop will never work in law enforcement again after pleading guilty Monday to a charge of simple battery, prosecutors said.

As part of his sentence, David Rose surrendered his law enforcement certification, the district attorney's office in Henry County said in a news release announcing the plea deal. A judge also sentenced Rose to a year of probation and 40 hours of community service and required that he complete an anger management class.

Rose, who is white, was fired from the Henry County Police Department after an internal investigation found he used unnecessary force during the arrest of Desmond Marrow on Dec. 2, 2017. Video posted online shows Rose put his hand on Marrow’s throat for several seconds. Marrow says, “I can’t breathe,” while another officer tells him to settle down.

Rose also was recorded on his in-car video camera system saying that he had choked Marrow and that he wasn’t going to include that information in his report, Henry County Police Chief Mark Amerman said in 2018 when Rose’s firing was announced.

 

UH OH!!! Let’s see the facts!!!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — An unidentified grand juror in the Breonna Taylor case is asking the courts to release the grand jury transcript and recordings and for fellow jurors to be free to speak about the case, according to a new court filing.

"The full story and absolute truth of how this matter was handled from beginning to end is now an issue of great public interest and has become a large part of the discussion of public trust throughout the country," Kevin Glogower, the attorney for the juror, wrote in the court filing.

Filed just after 4 p.m. Monday and less just five days since the grand jury's indictment, the document does not name the grand juror, seeks to remain anonymous.

They ask for the proceedings to be disclosed so "the truth may prevail."

The motion accuses Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron of using the grand jurors "as a shield to deflect accountability and responsibility for those decisions" and says that has led to "more seeds of doubt in the process.

 

I’m all for full disclosure.

 

Yeah, but in your case you’re still thinking of the ex-pastor cam girl.
