Their PD sounds like it has all kinds of BS going on. Forgot to turn on his camera? Yeah, right. The sad thing is that Wilson will probably get off on murder charges, since the prosecutor is biased toward the PD.

Someone should check to make sure the bullet didn't come from the officers gun. Bunch of thugs running around without their badge number and ID. Now, of course, their cameras are turned off as well...how fucking convenient.

Right?!? bravenak Sep 2014 #32

Unless he had an accomplice. randome Sep 2014 #6

Interesting thought, but that might be somewhat dicy. Jackpine Radical Sep 2014 #8

I hope they save the clothing for testing. bravenak Sep 2014 #13

I agree that the whole story is fishy as hell, Jackpine Radical Sep 2014 #19
