Re the Baton Rouge story.


I can see very little of what is going on. The car blocks a view of his hands, which is critical here.

Stop assuming the worst, please, and wait for full facts to emerge.

I see the evidence playing out similarly to the Darren Wilson shooting.

Of course, the cops roll in and confiscate his surveillance tapes with no warrant (allegedly). Wouldn't surprise me if they lied about the warrant.

Ok, you can't see his hands, but if you "can see very little of what's going on", get your eyes checked. There's plenty to see.

LG has admitted several times one of his main jobs as a lawyer is protecting cops. To expect an impartial observation from someone whos career isn't focused on finding the truth but defending their client at all costs is an exercise in futility. That isn't even a knock on lawyers, I understand it's their job to do just that. I want mine to defend me at all costs too. And that's why you can't expect an opinion without bias from that party.

I'll wager there are very few, if any, posters on here with no bias, especially in this thread. This is generally a cop bashing thread, it's taboo to have a dissenting opinion in here.

Lol, so only the "cop bashers" have the bias? And wtf are you even talking about, there are just as many "pro-blue" posters in this thread that defend at almost all costs.

Sure, but his bias is intrinsically tied to his profession. I'm not a criminal defense lawyer with only my client's interests at heart.

As for the cop bashing part, that's just playing the victim card.

Bias doesn't need to be intrinsically tied to your profession but I'll yield to LG and myself having some extra skin in the game.

And this is 2016...everyone's a victim these days, you weren't aware? :cray:

OR, it could be that I've seen too many cases where people want to judge without the facts, if for no other reason than that it is in vogue right now to be anti cop.

I don't think so. I've seen numerous instances in the past where most everyone condemned what they saw.

Why don't you tell us what was going on? Why were the cops there to begin with? Why was he fighting with the cops? Was he biting one of them? Was he carrying a pistol? Was he not going to try and shoot a cop?......do tell

I actually had a high school friend shot in the back by a cop. That friend told the cop to get off private property (was not there for the friend but sitting in an unmarked car, iirc. Seth Adam - west palm beach. Google it Got killed. He's white :O

How a $2 Roadside Drug Test Sends Innocent People to Jail

Albritton, 43, had dressed up for the trip — black blouse, turquoise necklace, small silver hoop earrings glinting through her shoulder-length blond hair. Wilson, 28, was more casually dressed, in a white T-shirt and jeans, and wore a strained expression that worried Albritton. One officer asked him for his license and registration. Wilson said he didn’t have a license. The car’s registration showed that it belonged to Albritton.

The officer asked Wilson to step out of the car. Wilson complied. The officer leaned in over the driver’s seat, looked around, then called to his partner; in the report Officer Duc Nguyen later filed, he wrote that he saw a needle in the car’s ceiling lining. Albritton didn’t know what he was talking about. Before she could protest, Officer David Helms had come around to her window and was asking for consent to search the car. If Albritton refused, Helms said, he would call for a drug-sniffing dog. Albritton agreed to the full search and waited nervously outside the car.
