He was drunk and couldn’t obey commands. Kept reaching back and they kept warning him until giving him a final ultimatum. Bad situation

Yeah, telling a guy to crawl isn't really protocol as I understand it. There is no indication as to why they couldn't just walk up and handcuff the guy while he lay on the ground.

The judge ruled this prejudicial so it couldn't be revealed in court, but the shooter has "you're ****ed" etched on his rifle.

Just saw the video, really disgusting. The wife is now going to sue and win and the taxpayers will have to pay millions for one trigger happy cop's deadly mistake as he walks a free man.

God bless America.

I agree.


Was his wife in the video or was that a hooker? Just curious.

So apparently the jurors didn't get to see the video. How in the hell, when trying a murder case, does a video of the murder not get shown to the jury?

Must be nice to have different judicial system than the rest of us.

Because the judges, prosecutors and cops work together to distort and hide evidence that may put the justice system in a bad light.

I was thinking the same thing. Have him sprawled with his arms out (which actually was one of the 15 different contradicting instructions he gave the guy), go to him, and cuff him.

Or here's a novel idea... Maybe could've simply left him him the f*** alone since he didn't do anything wrong.

Usually I hate that the taxpayers have to foot the bill. But this time they had a chance to do something about it and didn't. I hope his wife takes the cop, the department, and the taxpayers for all she can get.

This is a good point. The jurors had the opportunity to do the right thing. They didn't see the video though, right? That makes them look slightly better than if they had. Still ridiculous.

Seriously... What's the point in body cams if the can't be used to prosecute psychopathic, trigger happy, murderous cops? Why waste the damn money?

I'm not so sure if the sheep would have convicted that cop even if they had seen the video. This country worships people in uniform (esp. State sponsored uniforms) far too much.

Bad situation for both. They could have handled it better. I don't blame the shooter. His ranking officer clearly said we will shoot you if you do that again. And he did it again.

I also went to school with him and he was always a good kid.

If the prosecutor was even halfway worth a damn, then I'm sure they had the picture painted fairy well for them, probably by the defendant himself (it's not as though he'd be able to lie) if he was questioned.

Plus some may call this unfair but, if I'm on that jury, I know there's no way in hell it gets taken as far as changing a PO with 2nd degree murder if he was obviously guilty AF. Usually if there's even the slightest doubt, they give the guy a vacation, call it justified, and move on.

Man I'm sorry but I don't think I've even seen a police shooting video where the guy was less of a threat. He was confused (probably because his instructions where changing, confusing, and contradictory), scared, crying, on the ground, and pleading with the cops not to shoot him.

Or because he was a drunk idiot. The instruction was clear. Don't reach behind your back again.

And no I don't think police = good civilian = bad.

Jesus... He was in his hotel room, minding his own damn business when the swat team knocked on his door. Who cares how drunk he was?

I'm so sick of this idea that's cops safety is the only thing that matters. It's BS. He was doing nothing wrong, breaking no laws, when SWAT showed up and murdered him. Not one bit of this was his damn fault.

The cop should be in front of a firing squad

Glad you proved that you dont have a clue. Dude was waving his BB guns that are shaped like rifles out of his window. Aka why they got the initial call. Take a lap.

Maybe you're the biased one because you know him? Cop "supporters" ITT are calling it ****ed up.

Dude is a murderer.
