TWO officers missed the gun. And he was able to pull the gun out w/ his hands handcuffed and then blow his own brains out.

I don't know. There's too much missing information. I'd like forensics to explain more for starters. And no witnesses?? That's odd too.

Giving the officers the benefit of the doubt, this kid might have had a gun on him that the police missed, and he may have been trying to ditch it and shot himself accidentally in the effort. Considering he was already under arrest getting rid of a gun he (may have) had on him would have kept the charges down to a dull roar. Sounds like a stretch but when people feel cornered or desperate, they stretch.

WARNING. THE FOLLOWING VIDEO IS EXTREMELY GRAPHIC. IT PORTRAYS A MAN IN POLICE CUSTODY COMMITTING SUICIDE.

With that, I present the following link to the video.


I will tell you this happens. That is a very large hand gun the guy kept, and he made it all the way to the interrogation room. So this is very believable.

Are you saying the cops shot him? Ballistics should tell that. Unless they shot him and planted a gun they happened to be carrying in their trunk for whatever reason. How the heck do tow seperate guys miss him having a gun after searching him. If I were a cop at the jail I'd be wondering what the hell those idiots were doing myself. He coulda just as easily walked in there and shot the place up.

Is it just me, or do these police shootings mostly seem to occur outside of the Northwest and Northeast?

Jonesboro is in the Northeast of Arkansas.

These things usually happen in Los Angeles.

True, and Ohio it seems. Still, rarely this happens in my state (except Philly maybe), and the victim seems to be a young black male 99% of the time

So black males sneak guns into police cars and commit suicide at a higher rate than everyone else. I've never heard that stat.

Same here. That being said, you guys living between Oregon, Washington, and the Northeast have some trigger happy cops.
