you know what i found was interesting was how emotionally invested certain folks are that a wrong conviction be found in that instance.  folks that haven't ever watched a trial in their lives were glued to the screens on that one.

 

I’ll take your word on that one. You seem like a reasonable fellow. I just saw that thread basically stickies to the top of DT with you and the other 6 folks in the brainworms crew as the most recent poster every time.

Thank you for giving me the first line from my new novel about a future dystopian society where corporations have replaced countries. I had no intention of writing such a novel, but holy shit an entire world springs forth from that one sentence

Yep.  You can be damn sure the police department has been advised by counsel about the possibility of a civil suit, and advised on communications to the public.  In that situation, I'd expect the policy to publicly admonish the cop's actions and say "that's now how we do things here," and little else.

I'm interested if Walmart has anything to say, because it's a likely target of a civil action as well.  I'm not sure how strong an independent contractor defense might be under Arizona law (and consider the fact that the dipshit murdering cop wasn't even on Walmart premises when he shot the victim), but it's likely a lawyer for the deceased estate is going after Walmart.

And the department and cop unions probably want to be really careful about this one, because it could affect their moonlighting gigs.

[atomheartbevo 89686]

Looking at it again, it's the fucking gardening section.  In the amount of time that the cop was yelling, he could have picked up a bag of potting soil and put it in front of the scooter, then grabbed another and put it behind the scooter, and the guy is fucked.

If you or I fuck around and end somebody's life like that, we can be sued into oblivion.

Cops can resign and go join another police department and keep their benefits/etc. intact.

Open up those pensions to lawsuits and you'd see the cops police themselves.

There’s  a Luby’s in Tuscany? How did that one survive and not the one in my neighborhood?

[Bernard 879]

Fact: if not for the existence of two separate videos showing the world a virtually 360 degree view of the murder as it occurred, everyone who or profits or earns an income from our disgusting law enforcement industry would already be telling lie, after lie, after lie, to keep this murderer on the job.

This is how police have operated since forever.

if you doubt this, go read the press release the the police issued after George Floyd’s murder. The murdering cops would have received a pat on the back for a job well done if not for a 17 year old girl with iPhone in hand and the presence of mind to press the record button.

Meh, they always put cops someplace special in prison so this kinda shit doesn't happen.  

In this case, best thing you can do is get to a guard with some monetary incentives or take care of some problem he's having at home.  He puts the idea in the prisoner's head that he's going to be moved back someday in with GenPop and a lot folks that he put in there.  Start gaslighting the guy every chance you get.  And then one day the guard says, "Sorry man, blue line all the way.  But I heard they're moving you next week.  I'm just gonna leave this here if you wanna take the honorable way out before those fucking animals get to you.  I'll make sure it looks right to the outside.  Blue line brutha, see you on the other side..."

strong defensive posture against future petty theft, though. i can only assume you'll see a decrease in walmart thefts from paraplegics riding rascal scooters moving forward.

Gotta make it home to the family somehow. 

"Daddy, did you stop bad guys and save good guys today at work?"
"Absolutely son, I'm a real hero.  I waited until a disabled person was dead on the ground, murdered by my colleague, and then handcuffed them so they could no longer be a threat to society.  All the while, contemplating what I was going to falsely say to Internal Affairs to keep my job so I can do this again next month."

I'll admit I chuckled at that part of the video.  The dude is in his 60s and gets around in a motorized cart.  Oh, and he's just been shot to death.  But yeah, let's get those cuffs on quickly so he can't flee.

Guys, guys, we just need to see the full video.

Quote

Attorney Michael Storie, who is representing Remington, said in an interview with CNN, "The selected clips that were presented at that press conference constitute only half of the story."

"In any of these types of things, if you cut and paste a video, it will not properly lay out the officer's impressions and state of mind leading to a decision to employ force of any kind," Storie said.

(note to self---every Zombie movie is one of two types.  The slow moving one that just sort of stumbles aimlessly through fields trying to find brains.  The other is the fast moving Zombie like World War Z style that expends every bit of energy to get to the next potential infection...if it can't make...it serves as a vehicle by which others infecteds can make it.  What our police/zombie thriller will have instead...is Zombies on Rascal Scooters!)

I have no idea of the makeup of a potential jury pool in Tuscon, Arizona, but all things being equal, if Derek Chauvin was convicted of murder, I don't see this shitbag walking. 

 

~25 years ago, I spent a summer in Tucson. Other than the oven-like heat, I liked it a lot. Cool, laid back, young college crowd. Diverse, liberal leaning. Completely the opposite of Phoenix.

The surrounding county/suburbs might be more Phoenix-like.

It’s amazing to me that nobody has figured how to only allow police body and dash cams to do software updates when they are off duty.  Nope, every fucking time they head out on patrol, they all seem to conveniently click “agree to update policies here.”

Straight up fucking murder. The guy is in a wheelchair. There were so many other options available to this ass clown than shooting this dude. WTF.

If it works like my computer, it only updates -- without letting you opt out of it -- at 6:30 in the evening, when you're shutting down in a hurry because you're already late to something else, and instead of turning off, you spend the next 15 minutes watching "update 3% complete................................................update 5% complete................................update 7% complete...................."

Again, I'm a HUGE fan of the gratuitous 9th shot.  You've just perforated the shit out of a dude in a scooter, 4 feet away, he's already in the act of falling over dead, and you toss another round in him, just for shits and giggles.  Fucking psychopathic.

If I'm scooter guy's attorney, I'm making a big deal about that ninth shot, in opening, examination, and closing.  And showing the video of that ninth shot as many times as I can.

Culturally, across the board, I feel like we've become the Far Side cartoon on Equine Medicine -- no matter what the problem, there's one solution:

 

 

It's fucking fucked up.  The LAST option, the one to be avoided if at all possible, in ANY circumstance, is using lethal force against another human being.

You shot a fucking dude in a RASCAL, for fuck's sake.
