| SvennoJ said: Looks like classic discrediting of the witness in a case of her word against the officer's. Getting pulled over more than 50 times with no ticketable offense for the majority sounds like pure harassment to me. Plus there's still the overkill factor. 4 shots, no warning shot. |
This informaiton may have been released as an attempt to discredit the gunshot victim, however, it does show a pattern.
As to your warning shot comment, police will not give a warning shot, ever. There is too much risk at the bullet striking an innocent or having that warning shot retaliated before they have a chance to use stopping force. The idea of a warning shot is a hollywood concept only.
I have seen many videos of the protest in question and it was by no means "Mostly Peaceful." How can it be mostly peaceful when moltov coctails are being thrown, or explosive fireworks, or rocks, or contructions rebar and concrete. This particular protest was far from peaceful. Most of the other protests have been peaceful, but this particular one was spawned entirely due to this shooting and was violent.
