[Poitier]

The amount of people who believe law enforcement with shaky evidence is scary.

prolly was pullin out a phone to record the encounter, stl cops are known to ride around with stolen pistols, so they can plant them on the victim. just how they did vonderritt on the southside

The officer was responding to a reported theft at the gas station when he noticed two young men along the side of the building. As the officer walked toward the front door, one of those men pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the officer, Schellman said.

The officer opened fire, striking the armed man, who died at the scene. The second man ran off.

St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said the officer is believed to have fired three shots: one struck the armed teen, another struck the front tire on the officer's vehicle, and the third bullet has not yet been accounted for. The suspect is not believed to have fired his weapon.

The officer involved in the shooting was assigned a body cam at roll call at the start of his shift, but it was handed off to him later in his shift. He didn't immediately put it on and he was not wearing it at the time of the shooting, Belmar said. The police vehicle was equipped with a dashboard camera, but authorities are unsure if it was activated. Those cameras are typically activated if the officer's lights atop the vehicle are switched on.

Investigators recovered a 9mm handgun at the scene. The weapon was "defaced," meaning the serial number was unreadable. Belmar suspects the serial number was intentionally removed.

The 18-year-old had a criminal record, including arrests for armed robbery, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon, and was known to local police departments, Belmar said.

Meanwhile, the officer involved in the shooting, a six-year veteran of the Berkeley police force, has been placed on administrative leave.

do you know how uncomfortable those things are

 

[the cac mamba]

you know what i think the clearest vid has been that vine you just posted

http://www.thecoli.com/posts/11467334/

you cant see the gun your right but peep the way you took the "gun" out it doesn't look like the natural way a person would take out something as heavy as gun, it looks more like the movement you do to take out a phone to record something, again peep his arm movment and forget about a gun

didnt even think of that, def coulda been a phone

he def pulled something but its speculation with that vid

 

[godkiller]

I don't understand how someone pulls out a gun on a cop and doesn't shoot?

The funniest thing is that cacs would be mourning if the cop was dead, and only cheer now because Martin is.

 

[↓R↑LYB]

"Hey, so apparently people think this is a gun. It looks more like his phone. Martin was recording it."

I cannot see shyt...I dunno how he got a phone out of that still he posted
shyts fuzzy cant see shyt and nikkas out here identifying phones

That's clearly a blue Samsung Galaxy S4 in an otterbox case breh. You can even read the time on it.

Seriously though, you can't see shyt from that video.

 

[wire28]

uh oh if true

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

That gif being posted doesn't prove anything because there is no visible weapon...I've seen plenty of people pull out phones like that to record...

Supposedly there were cameras within 5 feet of where Martin was shot yet they leak this distorted angle from 20 feet away? The officer was also supposed to be wearing a camera which so happened to be disabled at the time of this incident...

Very suspect...

The Dark Knight Colorado shooter was armed and killed and injured many and they escorted him out in a squad car

No they didn't. He was already outside and had run out of ammo in the parking lot.

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

kid mighta froze up breh we're talkin about shooting to kill, its not something anyone can do like that

once again hypothetical, but if thats him with a gun he HAD to have been thinking for a split second 'damn am i really gonna pop this dude, right here' and that would have been all the delay they needed

You know what they say about he who hesitates in war
(What's that?) He who hesitates is lost
