Through careful analysis of the video, the expert determined that something shiny fell from the belt of the officer as Mr. Scott escaped from his grasp. As Mr. Scott ran, the officer reached for his gun and shot Scott 8 times (about 30 feet away from him, no less!) The officer immediately called to dispatch and reported that Scott had taken his taser. The expert then noted the officer picked up the aforementioned shiny object and softly tossed it next to Scott's body. He even re-positioned said object near Mr. Scott as another responding officer tended to him. Obviously, this object was the taser, as opined in the blog. The expert stopped short of making this assumption but it does not take an trained expert to connect the dots. The officer so quickly reported his version of the story after he fired the shots that it leads one to believe that he had this story ready to go if he ever shot an innocent person; a pre-packaged defense, if you will. It's a shame that police body cameras aren't standard yet, as it would help curb the brazenness of the boys in blue. Thank goodness for the good Samaritan that caught this all on camera. This officer thought his act was only witnessed by Scott and himself but he did not account for the readily-available access to cameras that almost all Americans have on a daily basis. If the guy on the camera was caught filming this, he may have been introduced to a bullet, as well. A tail light? A person is dead over a tail light? I know this blog is against mass incarceration and the private prison machine but, please, save one special room with a big lock on the door and no key for this particular cretin cop.<br /><br />Grant Stupeck<br />Indiana Tech Law Schooldré cummingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13427038538259417962noreply@blogger.com
