Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna defend the guy who got shot here. According to the article he was a real piece of work, and it seems like he was a credible threat to the life of the officer he put in the headlock.
I don't think the officers did anything wrong in this one. Broken clock twice a day and all that.
I agree. Although it is pretty interesting how quickly they were able to release the bodycam footage.
It's just digital files, any police department can release body cam footage quickly. They just don't want to.
I think that was the point he was trying to make
When cops shot a hostage in California it took them 2 years to release it. I think that was their point, footage is released quickly when the cops are in the right, it suddenly becomes a problem if it makes them look bad.
I just assume malicious intent in those cases. Not sure I've ever been wrong.
Yep that's what they were saying
