In reply to the discussion: Yet another one — Cops gun down 20-yr-old black male near Las Vegas [View all]brush
(61,033 posts). . . and no one, including the dead 20-yr-old's family can get a statement out of the cops. They're being very close-mouthed because they know this is a colossal screw up.
The fact of the matter is, and if you read my posts you wouldn't have asked what might have been in the cop car, there was a failure by the officers on the scene that allowed a minor traffic incident to escalate to the point that the man was in the car and was killed.
It never should have gotten to him getting in the cop car. They had numerous opportunities to end the situation.
But the inept threesome failed to take charge and ACT LIKE COPS. They should have put bodies on him, taken him down, cuffed him and put him in the car alive instead of resorting to pumping nine rounds into him because they didn't control the scene.
You said you watched the video, well you saw as I did that the man was almost prancing around like it was a cat and mouse game back and forth. That never should have been allowed to happen.
I say again, the cops should have taken charge of the situation by putting their expensive academy physicality training to use. Instead they killed him.
A huge FAIL. No one should die over a minor traffic incident.
