There is no hypothetical when it comes to UCMJ- that is what separates military from civilian. Its as simple as that.
Obviously they are not US military. Other countries have their own versions of UCMJ.
Yeah...honestly? I dont think that was a lack of training. I think this incident was a calculated response. He was deliberate in both his draw and aim. Regardless of what preceded the shooting, there is no way that can be explained as anything other than an intentional act.This video speaks volumes about training or lack of. There seems a worrying trend of poorly prepared, badly trained and trigger happy policing - in this case the victim was black but I've seen other video including the homeless mentally disturbed white man killed by numbers of police who sat on him till he couldn't breathe anymore.
Situations escalate when good policing should seek to de-escalate the potential for violence.
To the contrary. My point is that why is it ONLY the one story that is 'celebrated'?
Its funny...you...people like you...you are like little **** eating fish swimming around ignoring the day to day **** til the right kind of **** comes along for you to swarm in and feast on.
I hope he's convicted of murder, and im sure his family will file a civil suit so they will get his house:lamo, not to mention he will probably go broke with legal fees, this POS COPS life is pretty much ruined!!:applaud..
A cop lying? Amazing isn't it?
Over on some of the crazy websites, they are defending this cop. sigh
No it is not.This why black people are screamin about cops!

You are speaking absolute nonsense.Body cams on cops are 100% worthless. The police depts. would just doctor the body cam videos or else the cops would turn off the cams and/or censor specific footage.
In the event body cam videos were available for the public to see, there would be huge discrepancies in the video picked up by those cams and those picked up by bystander cameras and/or cell phones.
That isn't what happens. :dohOr the DOJ could threaten SC w/a full-blown civil rights investigation (a la Ferguson), forcing the dept. to face million$ in civil suits unless the cop was convicted.
More nonsense.95% chance the cop is acquitted, unless the Feds get involved.
:dohCops in SC rarely, if ever, get convicted for murder when they commit it--this is a well-documented fact.
More nonsense.For all practical purposes, they have a license to kill any non-White person they want at anytime.
More nonsense.But this should be a no-brainer, because when a cop is on trial, both the prosecuting attorney and the cop's public defender work to exonerate the cop, both prior to and during a trial.
Such empathy for the officers family...
That black thing was likely the tazer that the guy took as reported by the Officer.Really? He was pulled over for being black and driving a nice car?
Assuming you have watched the video...what is your interpretation of the occurrence beginning at the 17 second point of the film? What was the physical altercation, what was the black thing the guy dropped on the ground, and why did he run from the cop?
Just stop with your nonsense.but this rotten excuse for a police officer executed and murdered an unarmed person and then tried to lie about it and make it into a self defense case, something that this is not (totally not).

If there wasn't a cell phone video he would likely get away with it. The video shows the cop placing his stung gun near the body.
:dohAnd even worse, it shows the execution style murder of an unarmed black guy in a manner that is totally illegal and should send this killer to a very very long time in jail.
Just stop with your nonsense.
You have no idea of the facts. All you have is a made up scenario in your head and used that to prejudge the person.
:doh
More nonsense.
Yes, what you post is indeed not very sensible. There is no defense for what this officer did, none.
:dohWhat nonsense? The video is crystal clear and clearly shows the officer gunning down a man who is zero threat to him whatsoever and most likely never was.
There is no defense for this horrendous act of murder, pure and simple.
Yes that is what you have been engaged in.Yes, what you post is indeed not very sensible,
This is you ignoring what occurred just prior to the actual shooting.because there is no defense for what this officer did, none.
That black thing was likely the tazer that the guy took as reported by the Officer.
At the moment of the shooting it doesn't appear as the Officer knew he threw it down.
If so, this would indicate that the Officer (in his mind) was responding to an actual threat.
That information and whether he moved the tazer after the fact and why, may be the difference between manslaughter or involuntary manslaughter and that of a murder conviction.
:dohOh, you'll find that some will defend it regardless. :lol: What are you? New to DP?
:dohWow, talk about dreaming up a non-existent scenario rather than looking at this video and see the threads of a deployed taser hanging in the air and the man running away from the officer being zero threat to him.
Sorry, but your comments make no sense whatsoever when seeing the evidence on tape. The man lied, the officer moved the tazer over to make it look like he had been struggling. NO police officer would ever do something like that (picking up a discharged tazer and dropping him at the side of the dying man) for an innocent reason. In fact I think in such an officer involved shooting he is trained not to move or remove evidence. This officer is a murderer and he will hopefully be spending a nice number of years in jail for this heinous act.
The NYTimes conveniently puts their disclamer banner in a crucial spot just prior to the officer drawing and shooting.Wow, talk about dreaming up a non-existent scenario rather than looking at this video and see the threads of a deployed taser hanging in the air and the man running away from the officer being zero threat to him.

It means something because he was pulled over and he was driving a nice car. There is a term for that, "driving while black", and it happens a lot. Yeah, it is relevant.

While I think based on what I viewed, that the officer could have ran after, or somehow physically subdued the suspect, we don't know all the facts surrounding this, and they will come out.
So, I guess all the cop haters, and anarchist can now proceed to gather their lynch mobs, and Sharpton, and Jackson can make more money with lies and ginned up outrage.
Sad really.
