Hasn't he seen the news in the past year?? Why didn't you just register your tag like every other person?

However, he did have a warrant out and he knew it. He clearly was not a productive member of society at the age of 20 with that type of warrant out.

The cop-She clearly had her gun out the entire time (if that's who's body camera film we are watching with the gun front and center) so there's NO WAY she could have been confused about her gun and her taser.

They BOTH are at fault.
so you are implying a cop with 26 years on the force and is eligible to retire anytime soon decided to wake up one morning to shoot a black guy in broad day light? why wait after 26 years?

This shooting is questionable in part because Kim Potter was involved in another shooting in 2019.

She reportedly told two officers to turn off their body cameras before she shot an autistic man.

This makes me think that Potter is a very calculating person who is always aware of the body camera and how to use it to avoid getting in trouble. I think there's a high percentage chance that she shot the person on purpose. The gun feels different from the taser. It should have been obvious what she was holding.

Since she was nearing retirement, perhaps she decided that she wanted to go out with a literal bang. I mean.. why not? After all, she'll probably get away it, and she got to stick it to BLM. Many cops view BLM as an enemy organization/movement.

Why lie?

"Officers from the Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park, Crystal, and Maple Grove police
departments, as well as deputies from the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office, responded to the
scene. Officer Kim Potter, a police officer with the Brooklyn Center Police Department (BCPD)
for 24 years, was among the first to arrive. As she arrived, officers were still securing the scene
so that Mr. Dimock-Heisler could receive medical treatment. Officer Potter instructed Officers
Turner and Akers to exit the residence,"

yeah, i heard cops are murderous people. they wake up every morning with the intention of shooting some black guys for no reason.


this is why i had to chuckle when libs are pretending like they care with their fake crocodile tears when Capitol police Brian Sicknick was killed on Jan 6.

That theory is completely insane.

Which is entirely meaningless and you know it. Blacks are only 12% of the population, so if they were killed by police at the same rate, the number should be almost 10 times as many whites.

For a misdemeanor offense.

I had a misdemeanor offense a couple years ago and I do not view myself as a criminal.

Have you ever had a misdemeanor offense?

You're acting like the warrant was for a major, violent crime.

End qualified immunity. If the police simply comply with rules and regulations, they have nothing to fear.
