Court documents show the charges were dropped due to a lack of evidence.

At least three sources of video of him committing murder, six shots worth of ballistics used to commit murder, and the body of the man he just murdered is a lack of evidence?!

I'm with you on this. I've seen the videos and Officer Numbnuts was nervous before getting out of the car. That's what happens when you follow someone for blocks and hype yourself up for a problem.

"The suspect obviously killed themself with the officer's gun, before the officer arrived."

This is America.

There's also no mention whether the victim's fingerprints were on the two knives that the cops "found" in his vehicle. I going to bet there are NO fingerprints on either knife.

Not sure it matters if the guy held a knife before or not. Doesn't justify what they did even if he was brandishing it.

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

That's not what I mean. There's a good chance the cops planted knives in the victim's car to justify their use of deadly force. They already lied about basic stuff that happened during the traffic stop, so it would be foolish to take their word about any evidence they "found."

Gotcha... point was that even if they try that shit, it still shouldn't be enough to let the cop go free
