Prosecutors to dismiss charges against trooper who shot Black man in traffic stop

The cop finally nailed down a believable story after a few tries and the prosecution was given a chance to save face and back out. Protecting their own the way the system was designed.
 
I'm the first one to criticize the cops when they screw up, but this doesn't strike me as a case where the cop screwed up.
I would agree the final version of events is a decent retelling of the story. the he was going for a gun narrative is a new addition and wasn’t part of the original story. It went from he had a gun in the car to he was reaching for his gun.

Maybe most people would have assumed "He had a gun in the car" meant he was going for it.

They had to translate from Cop to Prosecutor...

Could be or maybe the police needed a better story to help cover up the mistakes made

That was the Trump case in New York.

One less career criminal in the world isn't a mistake.

This is the guy you are breaking out the crying towels for.


Court records show that Cobb had two prior 2014 and 2017 felony convictions for domestic assault by strangulation and a 2018 felony conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm.

The criminal complaint in the 2017 Wright County strangulation case describes a violent episode during an argument with the mother of one of Cobb’s children in which he reportedly punched her in the face several times and grabbed her by the neck, causing her to not be able to breathe. When the victim made two attempts to escape the apartment, Cobb blocked her and again strangled her both times. The victim was holding their 6-month-old baby during at least one of the attacks, the complaint said.

A court document related to Cobb’s appeal on his conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm references Cobb’s “alleged gang affiliation.”

A photo found on Cobb’s Facebook account posted in May of this year appears to show him with his twin brother, Rashad Imari-Christopher Cobb. In the photo, a tattoo can be seen on Ricky Cobb’s leg that includes the words “1-9 BLOCK DIPSET GANG,” which is a north Minneapolis “lows/lowz” gang.

Looks like the sun is shining a little brighter now that the world is down one less filthy kneegrow.
 
Why would the cop follow him into this death trap? once the guy turned into a dimly lite road the cop should have stopped and called for back up.

valid shooting but kinda suspect that he didn't just stop and call
