You can tell by the sound in her voice that she was terrified. Scared to death of the guy who, while being a dumbass, certainly posed no serious threat.
My thoughts, he complied with order of hands up, but continued to move to his vehicle which would alarm me without knowing what was in his driver side seat. Never made any sudden movements that you could see, but once at the door and refusing to move away from window, taser was deployed. Being scared to death of a confrontational situation, female officer (who was probably experiencing severe tunnel vision) hears taser deploy and mistakes for gun, causing her to fire her weapon.
Listening to the Chief talk, they are going to charge the shit out of her.

Eventually we are going to be forced to confront the real problem with law enforcement. It's not racists cops. It's poor hiring practices, nepotism and low wages forcing smaller agencies to hire unqualified candidates.
I should have been a fireman.
-
This sucks in every way. Why can't folks just comply and move on?
-
2 things:
1. We always know when they weren't a threat AFTER. Do they always know during? I don't think they do. Im no cop like you Token but I know Im protecting myself if I think someone is threatening, and taking no chances. The best way one of the "bad guys" can show they are of no harm to you is to COMPLY. I think this gets lost in a lot of the crosstalk. Complying leaves no room for doubt.
2. Even if it was a mistake, it isn't always because of race. Usually it isn't. Sometimes shit just happens. Sometimes cops make mistakes just because they are scared shitless for their lives like this girl was. But my goodness its rarely JUST because of race.

1. I agree which is the main problem with this one. He shouldn't have walked back to his vehicle. Easy to assume you are either going to retrieve a weapon to kill me or you are going to attempt to flee. He should have stayed where he was at. Hands up while walking away from authority isn't complying. But you can bet your sweet ass when faced with that situation, you ain't going to make it all the way to the car. That's the one place where I can't control you. That incident may have led to what some believe may be "excessive force", but it clearly wouldn't have led to me shooting him to death.
2. I refuse to believe any cop shoots and kills any person because they are racist. I just don't believe it. He was shot and killed because he moved to an area of unknown combined with someone who probably had no business in law enforcement. And I fully acknowledge that we have LEO who simply aren't capable of handling high stress situations.
I recall an incident where one of my good friends responded to a domestic violence call. 911 dispatch had an open line at the residence and could hear the people in the house saying the cops were outside and they needed to hide the gun. His backup was less than 5 minutes away (which is a luxury that sheriff deputies rarely have) and never made it to the call. "Took a wrong turn". Think he was fired? Or even disciplined? Nope. Wasn't even talked about because the guy was a good employee, came to work, and was a nice guy. That shit happens a lot and it causes a lot of unnecessary stress to men and women who are already working at high levels of stress.
There is a problem and it needs to be addressed, but it isn't racism. And because it isn't racism, it isn't worth addressing.

I didn't click the link, is this in regards to the guy that was disabled and was reading a book, while waiting on his kid at the bus stop, police saw him as they were serving a warrant to someone else at the nearby apartments...they thought he had a gun, then immediately killed him?

Why does the headline and every reference in the article say "unarmed black man?"
You aren't even allowed to use race to describe a suspect any longer.

Charlotte police warned 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott again and again to drop his handgun before an officer shot and killed him, the police chief announced Wednesday morning, after riots damaged patrol cars and injured at least 16 officers.
Police Chief Kerr Putney said during a news conference that officers were searching for a suspect Tuesday when they saw Scott exit a vehicle with a handgun at an apartment complex on the city's northeast side. "The officers gave loud, clear verbal commands which were also heard by many of the witnesses. They were instructing the subject, once he got out of the vehicle, to drop the weapon... Mr. Scott exited his vehicle armed with a handgun as the officers continued to yell at him to drop it."
Putney said Officer Brentley Vinson shot Scott because the man posed a threat. Vinson is black, as was Scott.
A woman claiming to be Scott's daughter said in a video posted on Facebook that her father was unarmed and had a book, not a gun. Police say they found no book at the scene.
The police chief said officers requested medical help and performed CPR on Scott. Vinson has been placed on administrative leave while the shooting is investigated, police said. He's been with the department for two years.
Meanwhile, An outspoken leader of the Nation of Islam, B.J. Murphy, called for an economic boycott of Charlotte at a news conference of black leaders, saying if black lives don't matter, black money shouldn't matter.
The police chief said 16 officers sustained minor injuries during protests Tuesday night and that one person has been arrested.
TV footage early Wednesday showed dozens of protesters on Interstate 85 apparently looting semi-trucks and setting their contents on fire on the highway.
Tuesday night, a larger group of demonstrators gathered near the scene of the shooting. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department tweeted that demonstrators were destroying marked police vehicles and that approximately 12 officers had been injured, including one who was hit in the face with a rock. Photos and TV video showed police firing tear gas to break up the crowd. Some officers were in riot gear.
Broken glass and rocks littered the ground where one police car had been vandalized. Less than 5 miles away, wooden pallets barricaded the entrance of a Walmart that had apparently been looted.
The unrest in Charlotte came just hours after another demonstration in Tulsa, Oklahoma, over the shooting there of an unarmed black man by police.
Charlotte police officers went to the complex about 4 p.m. looking for a suspect with an outstanding warrant when they saw Scott — who was not the suspect they were looking for — inside a car, department spokesman Keith Trietley said.
Officers saw Scott get out of the car with a gun and then get back in, Trietley said. When officers approached, the man exited the car with the gun again. At that point, officers deemed the man a threat and at least one fired a weapon, he said.
Scott was taken to Carolinas Medical Center and pronounced dead.
Police blocked access to the area, which is about a mile from the campus of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, as protesters gathered after the shooting.
Some protesters were heard yelling "Black lives matter," and "Hands up, don't shoot!" One person held up a sign saying "Stop Killing Us."
Other footage showed protesters lingering around a police vehicle after shattering its windows.
One television news crew retreated from the scene after demonstrators began rocking their remote van, which was parked near the apartment complex where the shooting occurred.
Charlotte Mayor Jennifer Roberts appealed for calm and tweeted that "the community deserves answers."
In Tulsa, hundreds of people rallied outside police headquarters calling for the firing of police officer Betty Shelby, who shot 40-year-old Terence Crutcher on Friday during a confrontation in the middle of a road that was captured on police dashcam and helicopter video.
Shelby's attorney has said Crutcher was not following the officers' commands and that Shelby was concerned because he kept reaching for his pocket as if he were carrying a weapon. An attorney representing Crutcher's family says Crutcher committed no crime and gave officers no reason to shoot him.
Local and federal investigations into that shooting are ongoing.

Last time I got pulled over was about a year ago. 52 in a 35. I was in a hurry. There wasn't any arguing or disputing it. It is what it is. I consider myself a careful driver but I guarantee there's not a day that goes by that I don't speed. It was just my day to be speeding in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I gave the Officer what he needed and answered him with Yes sir and No sir. He asked me who I bought my truck from and turned out we both knew the salesman. Long, cool story short, he came back and gave me a warning. Said he did it simply because I treated him with respect and didn't give him any shit, which he said was a very rare occurrence these days. Plus, I had an Auburn cap on.
The point is, as I've said numerous times before, if a man with billy club, a taser, a gun, mace, several other weapons of mass destruction strapped to his side....and a radio with which he can call 100 other guys and gals toting the same arsenal...tells you to do something....in 9,999 out of 10,000 situations, simple, respectful compliance will result in the lack of an ass whoopin' or a bullet between the eyes.
If he tells you to put your hands up. Just put them up and wait for the next instruction. Continuing to walk to your vehicle after repeated orders not to shouldn't result in your death. But it most definitely should result in you totin' an ass whoopin' with you.

I've only been belligerent once. Got stopped on a country road by a state trooper. Had no idea what I'd done wrong.
When I asked he said 56 in a 55. I asked again. He said "56 in a 55. Over the limit." I just shook my head and handed him my license and insurance card as per his demand.
When he came back with a ticket I was quite unhappy. I asked him if he didn't have anything better to do. He said keeping the roads safe was his primary responsibility. When he handed me the ticket and asked me to sign it, I jammed the pen on there so hard I tore the paper. When he gave me my copy I wadded it up and bounced it off the passenger window. He told me to "slow it down and have a nice day." I told him to go fuck himself. Louder than I mean to.
He didn't appreciate that response. Asked me if I had a problem. I was a little rude.
Judge threw out the ticket.

I got pulled over about 2 years ago, One cop car, he sat there a while, then a second one showed up. Was asked over the loud speaker to turned off the car and throw keys out the window and leave my hands showing. About this time my bowels got real nervous as I had no idea what the fuck was going on. Complied with all the instructions, did as I was told. Come to find out a bank robbery had occurred and the get a way vehicle was same make and model and color as the keen machine. Once they figured out that bank robbery was not in my job description they sent me on my way with a thank you for the cooperation.
Moral, Do what they say and you don't get shot.
You get shot not doing what they say, fuck you, you deserve to get shot.

Keen story, bro.

Years ago, my wife and kid had the same, keen thing happen as Dallas. Night time. They get pulled over, surrounded by several cop cars, guns drawn. When they saw my wife and kid and realized these were not the droids they were looking for, they apologized for scaring the bejeezus out of them and moved on. There had been an armed robbery minutes before in the area and she was driving a white SUV, same description as the one the suspect had driven off in.
They were shaken but it was nothing more than something cool and keen to talk about later.

It should be noted that the Charlotte incident is different than the Tulsa incident.
The Tulsa one still looks bad. It's one of the very few where it doesn't appear the police had valid justification.
But it gets overshadowed by this one that clearly was justified. And this is what's going on in Charlotte as a result of the black chief of police saying the black officer was justified and threatened by the gun from the perpetrator.

And then conservative writer Glenn Reynolds was banned from Twitter for daring to reply to videos of random people getting drug out of their cars by rioters on the interstate by saying "Run them over".

About 10 years ago, something similar happened to me. Someone had robbed two dollar generals and two gas stations within the passed few days and their vehicle matched mine. Nearly the entire Jefferson County had their blues flashing and guns drawn. I just sat there in my car with both hands on the wheel. Told them I was just getting off of work, apparently that was enough to let me go.
Good thing they didn't get my license plate at the four stores that I robbed.

Last night, we're watching some of the coverage of the riots and stopped on CNN (Mistake). They were interviewing one of the protestors, a girl who claimed she had been part of an earlier peaceful march. The interviewer asked her why she thought the protests turned so violent. She said something that went straight to the mindset of BLM and those protesting and rioting. Her response was because of the images of a black man being shot in Charlotte and that man in New York being carried out on a stretcher after the police shot him.....
Okay, let's pause it right there. The two men you're talking about were A.) A man with a gun who refused to put it down, and 2.) The terrorist bomber that just 24 hours earlier had maimed 30 people and took shots at the police.
Again, this is the mindset that BLM is perpetuating. Facts don't matter. Logic and reason have no place in the discussion. And the bigger picture in my view is that first, the BLM movement has set back race relations 30 years. Second, they've used this "disconnect" between the police in this country and "people of color" to start the race war it appears they've been wanting.

And the media is happy to obfuscate those facts further to fit the narrative they desperately want to push that black people in America are being hunted and killed by police for absolutely no reason on a regular basis as part of systematic racism. It's factually false. The data is in and you're far less likely to get killed by a cop if you're black than if you're white if you're interacting with them because you committed a crime. Data also shows that cops are MORE hesitant to shoot a black person than they are a white person based on subconscious reaction times. It's all bullshit, and yet here we are. The media won't play the video I posted above. They'll show versions of the police shooting that play to the narrative that it was innocent victim. And then people like the lady in the news clip you're referring to feel justified to burn a goddamn city down. The media is creating this monster and have no remorse or feel any culpability.

Yes, and no.
I would say the media is feeding the monster. The monster is BLM and their push to create a race war. You could have a black person on film shooting at folks and getting killed by a black cop (oh wait we do) and some just want to watch the world burn. I live next to a dude I know is into the BLM, we have had angry words (he really, really hates me) He will be one of those dudes that wants to go out in a blaze. Well, I am prepared, 45 in the living room, 9mm in the bedroom, and 38 snub in the garage.

Bein' that I'm in my fitties, the skirt and I have been looking realistically at what we'd do in retirement. Right now, the plan is to move south until we hit water, somewhere between PC and Destin. I had always jokingly said I'd love to move somewhere in the Caribbean, knowing it was just a fantasy. Been giving that a little more serious thought lately.
The shit that's going on in this country is getting worse by the day. First it's terrorist attacks and now, it's a quickly escalating race war where the lines have clearly been drawn by the BLM movement and those like them. It's the privileged, devil white man vs. all people of color. They're screaming it and acting out on it and no one has the guts to call it what it is. The media churns it up into a frenzy because it means ratings. Must see TV. The worse it gets, the better for them.
And when people know that rioting, looting, injuring and killing gets them the attention they so desperately crave, how soon before there's not a city in our country that's not affected by it?

It was already released he had fairly long criminal record, which the media also included a couple of speeding tickets. You know, to let the public know that he was a very dangerous menace to society...which justified the police officer playing Judge, Jury, AND Executioner.
I don't know about you, but maybe they should let all of the officers, that want to play those roles, go after child molesters and rapist. They could be Task Force Y (Y as in YOU DONE FUCKED UP NOW [insert name of offender])

Also, this has no bearing on any specific case, just wanted to show exactly how fast a situation can get bad. For all of those who believe in the bullshit "should have just shot him in the leg" narrative.

Journalism is officially dead.
Roopstigo says "hey."
Bein' that I'm in my fitties, the skirt and I have been looking realistically at what we'd do in retirement. Right now, the plan is to move south until we hit water, somewhere between PC and Destin. I had always jokingly said I'd love to move somewhere in the Caribbean, knowing it was just a fantasy. Been giving that a little more serious thought lately.
The shit that's going on in this country is getting worse by the day. First it's terrorist attacks and now, it's a quickly escalating race war where the lines have clearly been drawn by the BLM movement and those like them. It's the privileged, devil white man vs. all people of color. They're screaming it and acting out on it and no one has the guts to call it what it is. The media churns it up into a frenzy because it means ratings. Must see TV. The worse it gets, the better for them.
And when people know that rioting, looting, injuring and killing gets them the attention they so desperately crave, how soon before there's not a city in our country that's not affected by it?
You think whitey has it bad in the US? Definitely post up on an island with a colonial history much younger than ours.

I've already mapped out which ones to avoid. I only want to go where my whiteness is treated with the utmost respect.

Doesn't matter, some folks don't care, black person got shot by cop. Video shows good shooting. Had the same person been shot by another black, "just another day, no big deal. :facepalm:

Continuity man. Are you talking Tulsa or Charlotte?
Damn you people bounce around like a BB in boxcar!@

Whichever one was first...the one that the police said that he tried reaching into his car window (even though it was rolled up). The one where one of the officers charged up his taser and the female officer panicked then shot him...they tasered him after he was shot, you know to make sure he was dead.

Last time I got pulled over was about a year ago. 52 in a 35. I was in a hurry. There wasn't any arguing or disputing it. It is what it is. I consider myself a careful driver but I guarantee there's not a day that goes by that I don't speed. It was just my day to be speeding in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I gave the Officer what he needed and answered him with Yes sir and No sir. He asked me who I bought my truck from and turned out we both knew the salesman. Long, cool story short, he came back and gave me a warning. Said he did it simply because I treated him with respect and didn't give him any shit, which he said was a very rare occurrence these days. Plus, I had an Auburn cap on.
The point is, as I've said numerous times before, if a man with billy club, a taser, a gun, mace, several other weapons of mass destruction strapped to his side....and a radio with which he can call 100 other guys and gals toting the same arsenal...tells you to do something....in 9,999 out of 10,000 situations, simple, respectful compliance will result in the lack of an ass whoopin' or a bullet between the eyes.
If he tells you to put your hands up. Just put them up and wait for the next instruction. Continuing to walk to your vehicle after repeated orders not to shouldn't result in your death. But it most definitely should result in you totin' an ass whoopin' with you.
