    Cops were wearing body cameras.

    The only thing we can see from the video is a woman yelling not to shoot and that he has a TBI and doesn't have a gun. This is helpful, but it only tells part of the story. What we don't see is what is happening at the actual time of the shooting. Maybe the release of this video will prompt more videos to be released.

    I did see a picture of what appears to be a gun on the ground. That is interesting if indeed true. Also would like to see body cameras to see what they saw.

    Could you link the photo? Would like to see that. Agree with you. The body camera video would be very helpful.

    The thing that's weird about that is you don't see it when you watch the video. This is obviously taken later, because there is yellow caution tape. If you look at like 1:15 of the video you have the same angle and you don't see anything here. Perhaps it is conveniently in the shadows or whatever this is was put there later.

    Agreed. I did notice it wasn't in other pictures. I don't know why. I can speculate on reasons for both sides (victim and police), but that does no good. Lawyers should have a hay day on that unless a good explanation comes about.

    There could be an innocent explanation. He had a gun, they moved it away from him so he wasn't a threat, but wouldn't they have done that right away? Interesting food for thought. Hopefully the body cam footage is released.

    You know you've pretty much turned in to a troll right? Why not stick to your word and "stop trying"?

    All you do lately is start these threads and discussions, and then proceed to call everyone who doesn't agree with you racist, stupid, or both.

    Especially the bolded part.

    Police should be held to a much higher standard. They're trained. They're supposed to serve and protect. They work for us. We give them all the tools and sufficient funding to do the job right.

    Benefit of the doubt, in all things, goes to the individual. (That's the libertarian way).

    A decade ago, a real conservative wouldn't be defending these cops. They had a libertarian bent. The tea partiers are really hypocritical if they're defending the cops, too.

    Except you offered no math, aside from whatever you're assuming in your head. Of course that is, unless you have some published numbers to back up your claims?

    I guess if you like wasting taxpayer money it makes sense.

    To be clear, do you want to drug test every welfare recipient? The states that test generally just test "suspicious" people.

    There ya go! finally some actual evidence to support your post. Well done sir, you're finally graduating from legos to construx's.

    Me? I'd go for a quarterly drug test, or some sort of program where they have to prove they are not abusing tax payer money and/or that they still need it. A program like that though would require some serious thought.

    Honestly, I would like to reduce the amount of fraud in these types of programs any way possible.

    So was the gun planted, or picked up, cleared and dropped? (is that even protocol?)

    So after reading about how incredibly wasteful your idea would be, you are still in favor of it? I think you should probably start out with Lincoln logs, and work your way up to Legos. Try not to eat them.

    Stealing my jokes good sir? Come on you're smarter than that. Well it is in your username.


    And read my post for clarification on what I would like to do.
