To Protect and to Serve II

Thought the last comment from the police, Capt. Damon Cecil of the Arizona Department of Public Safety, was laughable given a guy who rented a car they thought stolen ended up staring at the end of an officer's gun:

Cecil said DPS has not received a formal complaint from Walton. The department, he added, has not been in direct contact with Walton since the traffic stop.

“Absolutely not. Absolutely not,” Cecil said. “This is not a situation where we feel that we need to reach out to him. He’s the one who started this negative relationship and negative communication.”

Police Shoot Department Store Mannequin 67 Times After Mistaking it for Gunman

The mishap began shortly after 12:15 a.m. on Sunday morning when police received a call about a possible homeless man lurking in the alley behind the Macy’s department store on Viewmont Drive. Officers arrived on the scene to find what they believed was a muscular African-American man standing idly behind a dumpster. “The individual in question was dressed in a tan hoodie-style sweatshirt and appeared to be naked from the waist down,” Major Howard Colvin told the Scranton Times.

A Macy’s employee who agreed to speak to FOX 25 News on condition of anonymity confirmed that the dark grey semi-flexible mannequin had been thrown out Saturday night due to a faulty display stand. “Our officers attempted to communicate with the suspect in an effort to resolve the matter peacefully,” Major Colvin explained. However, because of the way the mannequin was stationed by the dumpster and likely due to the fact that its arms were positioned at an angle by its sides, police believed it was reaching for a weapon.

“When the suspect failed to comply with the officers demands, they responded with appropriate force given the perceived nature of the threat,” Colvin told reporters. It wasn’t until after Scranton police had fired over sixty-five rounds into the mannequin’s back, legs, and upper torso, that they discovered their suspect was made of wire and fiberglass rather than flesh and bone. “When the individual didn’t immediately respond to having been shot, officers realized something wasn’t right,” Colvin said.

There's absolutely no way a white mannequin would have been treated this way.

I don't know why but this quote:

“When the individual didn’t immediately respond to having been shot, officers realized something wasn’t right,” Colvin said.

Made me think of this :eek:lol:

Law will be passed that future mannequins will have to be disposed of like this.

Hands up. Don't shoot.

Suspect was wearing a hoodie... clearly just some thug that was prolly part of a gang that hung out at the mall.
