Cops 5: Barney Fife, Now in Real Life!

Re: Cops 5: Barney Fife, Now in Real Life!


Before they began firing at the unarmed man one or both officers were heard to yell "Gun!", another tactic to plant the seed in the minds of any bystanders or witnesses they had a "reasonable belief" there was a weapon present and they faced some sort of imminent danger. It's along the same lines of them yelling "stop resisting!" to people whether or not they are actually resisting law enforcement in any way, so witnesses could then be procured who assume the cops were being resisted in some way. Why else would they yell that? is what most people reflexively think.

And I love the way the police spokesmen describe events like this: "Fearing for their safety, the officers fired their duty weapons striking the suspect multiple times." So clinical. Their words are almost surgical, making it seem like these were highly trained and supremely qualified individuals, who were faced with but one and only one choice, to unload a couple of magazines worth of 9MM rounds on someone who presented almost no actual threat to two heavily armed cops.

It's both a blue/no blue and a race matter. Some don't get that.

Sometimes. In this case, I haven't heard one mention of racism, despite the cop being a minority and the victim being a caucasian. Haven't even heard a hint of it.

Probably because he’s going to do time. Unlike the vast majority of (white) officers who shoot (black) suspects.

And the locals were getting mad at the time it took to investigate this. IMO, they took the time to make it right. I think they are learning to investigate EVERYTHING and change the way police shootings are handled. Time will tell.

What will be a better tell is when cops stop shooting unarmed people who pose no real threat.

Jamar Clark. Even after all the videos were released, it was clear that the cops were in the right.

This case (Noor), they took all the necessary steps before charging.

The attitude nowadays is the cop is presumed guilty, before all the facts are investigated. The Castile case was an exception, IMO, but per the way the law was written, he got off. In this current case, even with the law as written, I think the cop is done, given the facts.

On TOP of that, I'm sure there are some things the public doesn't know, and might not end up knowing.

And now they are doing their due diligence, and you two are still vilifying them. :rolleyes:

You seem to want vengeance, not justice.

And where did I say that?
I want them held accountable when they murder someone for no reason. As I have already said, I’m glad noor has been charged and I hope he’s convicted. I live a few blocks from where he killed her and know a little about this case
