Heard it here first folks. I don't have a source...just my gut instinct in light of the latest details. But, the 6 shots are all in the front, in the arm and top of head. My gut says the "hands up" thing witnesses saw....was the 300 lb "kid" lunging towards the cops gun, hands...well, parallel, with his head down, and that's why the cop did "point shooting", meaning he saw the hand reaching for his gun, and he shot what he was looking at....that arm, and then all the way up to the head. Its logical, makes sense.
PLUS...they're deploying the National Guard. A military unit, a week after the nation bitching about "militarizing" police. BUT....most of the outrage may be calmed if they'd just announce charges.
Ever watch the show "First 48"? They almost always get a murder charge done within 48 hours. Its been 9 days, and they HAVE all the evidence. They've had it all for a week. And no charges.
Rather than just go ahead and charge him....they are deploying a military force, further stoking emotions.
Why? BECAUSE my gut says they don't have enough to charge the cop, and they aren't going to. They are just hoping the anger slowly recedes so they can handle the aftermath of WHEN they reveal they wont be charging him.
Well, it is what it is. I hate that the "kid"....6'4 300 lb 18 year old adult....died. I hate that the cop had to do it.
Guarantee 100% that this cop did NOT wake up that morning, go into work, and WANT this shit to happen to him. His life is changed FOREVER, for the worse now.
Just hope that when they announce he wont be charged....that people can accept it, and be mature about it.
For the rest who will become violent....thank God we have cops and Guardsmen who are willing to put themselves into danger to keep order so the rest of us can live in peace.
BUT....just make sure that if they are protecting us from those violent hordes of rioters...that they just don't wear green camo or carry scary guns![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
