The fact that you can follow up your first thought with the second one is what is ridiculous. You just clearly contradicted yourself. Everything that you just stated would support the police is clearly in the video. They were responding to a complaint of a man with a gun. They shouted, in a very concerned tone, that he had a gun.




You're jumping in this thread after many absurdly stupid takes have been thrown out, so you don't exactly understand the context. That being said, the video doesn't prove or disprove the story that has been reported from the officers' perspective. We don't see a gun. We don't know that he had a gun. We cannot see him going for the gun. The extent of his "struggling" is that he wasn't complying, not that he was actively fighting back.

Basically the video doesn't disprove what has been reported from the officers. That is about as far as you can really take it at this point.

Where'd they get the pics? I can't find any names like these in BR on Facebook.


Likely got the names from someone inside the PD...then sourced to hackers to get the pics

Or hackers tapped into BRPD & got all the info from there.

First scenario more likely

Is there any live coverage? I found a Periscope that ended 20 minutes ago. There was a lot of horn honking, and one comment that summed it up, "shitty riot."

Well, the rioters were probably just being responsible since it is mid-week and they have to work tomorrow... right?

Ok so your only hang up is that the video doesn't show his gun? Fine I'll give you that. I'm assuming he had a gun.

Think about what would have to be true for him not to have a gun. Eyewitness was wrong that he had a gun... Cops lied that he had a gun... Cops were wrong in the video that they saw a gun... Cops somehow find a fake gun to use as a plant... The person who called the police to report a gun was wrong

I mean I get where you are coming from, but you are basing your argument from a position that looks extremely unlikely at this point in time

The sad thing it looks like an "event" more than a mourning.

It's not even that. I'm mostly assuming he had a gun too.

My issue is that people take it much further than that. They stress that he is a felon, something the cops wouldn't know at that point. They stress that it is clear he is resisting and going for the gun, but you cannot even see a gun much less what he is trying to do, if anything, with his right hand. They want to see something that isn't there. I just want people to be honest about their bias.

ETA: The facts are what they are. People want to make up things and then spout them off as facts to spin it to their position.

There's a lot that you don't fricking know. LAPD had complete names & addy' of all officers on force released in 2011-2012 Wall St movement from hackers. Confirmed on LA Times

Maybe just once consider people are attuned to what's going on outside of their 15 mile territory, instead of assuming shite you don't know jack about.

For starters the guy holding the gun that's "one of the officers" has his Twitter location currently as Lansing, MI...

This is weird. I just read a comment on Facebook that said "EVERYBODY" in the hood knew him. He was such a nice guy and "cops walked right past him everyday".
