(17,997 posts)I looked it up and the FBI not only says the old test is "excellent" but that it have been improved and can actually be tested against a certain gun. SO the "can be inaccurate" seems to be a bunch of BS http://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/law-enforcement-bulletin/may_2011/The%20Current%20Status%20of%20GSR%20Examinations
I understand your example is just that, an example, but why would they cuff an obvously dead kid?
No, other people in the lot and neighborhood. It is a fairly busy place at that time of the evening and people come and go. The officer didn't hightail it and run away, so he was seen by many. I have read that in multiple publications put out that night and the next day. In fact, at first, witnesses were referring to him as "the security guard"
No, not the actual shooting, but immediately after. At least 2 people came up at the end of the shooting. One guy pulled up in his car while the officer was still shooting.
Chief Dotson has now lied at least twice where video proves he lied. The knife wielding overhead by Powell and a rock thrown at him at a protest with about 150 cameras from every angle.
I was actually starting to lean more toward Myers having a gun. Not so much now.
