    Now as to him being innocent he is driving while intoxicated (Drugs) pretty sure that is a serious offence in all states. The store clerks account of him passing a fake bill in exchange for cigarettes and then failing to return the cigarettes when the clerk identified the forgery turns that from (knowingly?) passing forged currency to theft.
    Being stooped for drugs or having mental issues were never raised at the time. If that was the case, and in any event, the police officer should first of all told the driver why he has been stopped; he didn't.

      Nope I agree in the UK it probably would have and as I say in hindsight it should have happened.

      I love the attitude of the armchair warriors suggesting restraining a large muscular, intoxicated, convicted armed robber is easy and they should have just offered him a cup of tea. I can assure you it is not and there is large chance of you getting injured even if the detainee is not armed.

      We also have cleared up that this had no signs of racism involved. If it had been a big white muscular, intoxicated, convicted armed robber behaving this way it would have played out this way. This most definitely key for BLM's actions .

        They normally ask for licence and insurance first but this started going south way before that so what they should have done couldn't have been done.

          Before this it was racially motivated murder but now that's difficult to justify**. So does that mean all the race riots, burning cities, defunding the police are less jutified? Would another course of action have happened that might have been less harmful etc?

          I need to just shut up I guess. People aren't taking this the way I meant it to be.

          ** disclaimer. I'm not trying to belittle or reduce the charge. He's still killed a human and needs to be held to account but it's not what it was initially thought.

          My whole point about this thread was way everyone has been played by whoever and we could discuss who that was and why..
          I think you do have a point - I only knew a little about it, racist murder by white policeman. The little I read about it, they pointed out that he had complaints against him in the past.

          So I assumed that the rioting was related to racist police officer.

          Looking at that video and unfortunately the start of the next video, it's clear that there is nothing racist about this. Terrible policing yes.

            Would they have known when they stopped him he was a convicted armed robber, served 5 years? The reason why I ask is when they stopped him and he wouldn't put his hands in view and was all over the place, perhaps the police officer was then worried about his own safety rather than procedures.

              As Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin knows fine well, the MEDIA, social, left-wing, right-wing or otherwise can easily be manipulated, if you have the means.

              I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

                But it is now a known fact. Would you have asked him if he wanted one lump or two in his tea?


                You know in the States many people especially criminals have guns. The police tend to make them safe before they get to talking. That means getting handcuffs on and searching for weapons before the talking really starts. Its not Columbo where the suspect calmly puts their hands up. Try watching the American cop reality shows.

                The advice is if the US Police are nervous to move slowly and show your hands, let them make sure you are safe then they are more friendly.

                These Police want to go home at night as well.

                  He had 1 upheld complaint (where disciplinary action was taken) about him. 17 non upheld. A complaint can be being late for work. He was a 20 year veteran so that seems reasonable.

                      CNN and NY Times are par with Daily Mirror and Guardian for being news worthy.
