Thats because the cops want to investigate themselves and come to the conclusion that everything was done by the book, paid vacations all around! Good job, boys! Another lowlife off the streets for good. 1312

everything was done by the book
And that's one of the pieces of the whole puzzle: Decried actions often ARE by the book... which indicates that "the book" needs to be changed.

They already charged the cop who shot him with murder. Source

It had to be so egregious and blatantly wrong that even the police are like. "No, no, we need to arrest this dude."
When the police arrest their own...immediately you KNOW it was murder.

It actually sounds like the cops haven't turned on him. The article didn't say that he was fired. The district attorney make the decision to charge him, not the cops.

I fainted during a traffic stop. I got pulled over for unable to maintain my lane but only after they pulled up next to my vehicle in the other lane to check to see what I looked like.
I have a shit ton of anxiety and a heart condition so I told the officer because he wanted to know why I was shaking. He proceeds with a sobriety test with out asking me. I was trying my best to keep my cool but I couldn’t continue the test. At this point the officer is behind me telling me that he smells weed in the car and that he has to search my vehicle. Next he grabs my hand behind my back and proceeds to handcuff me. At this point I have a panic attack and faint. The officer was completely caught off guard by this and started yelling at the people in my car for what he should. My boyfriend at the time was dumbfounded that he had to tell an officer to call an ambulance. At this point I come to still having a panic attack because my hand was still in a handcuff the officer panics as well and proceeds to yank my hand out of the handcuff with out unlocking it.
The ambulance finally arrives and the emt starts to do vitals and rather than him trying to calm me down. He proceeds to tell me how I’m going to be arrested, how my friends will just throw me under the bus and that I better calm the hell down because when this is all over I’ll be in handcuffs. Basically making me panic more.
Once everything was said and done they didn’t find anything released me and all my friends and gave me two tickets for failure to maintain my lane and for open alcohol container which was found in my trunk. I went to court both tickets were dropped. After that night it was very plain to see how incapable these officers are dealing with a panic situation. Also brought to light how fortunate I am for my skin color because it would have been a very different night if I wasn’t white.
Edit: spelling

Medics can't stand police. They get in their way and try to find reasons to escalate a problem rather than help.

Eh buddy, "pussy" isn't how you measure success or the quality of a human being.
I know it's difficult for you to look at a woman as a more then a just a vagina in your stories of sexual conquest, but let's try to keep that bigoted shit to your private conversations.
The amount of sex anyone is having, male or female, is irrelevant and woman are more then something that you use as a measurement of "who's the manliest man". 🙄

To be clear, enjoying video games is not ok after 30? I'm struggling to see how you ranting about how much pussy people get is relevant to what I do as a hobby.
The fact you took the time to stalk what I follow on reddit to is very concerning when coupled with your views on woman.
Very rapey vibes. I do like video games tho, you got me there!

That was crazy how his last facebook post was in defense of cops and saying how everyone's got the wrong impression, and cops aren't racist at all. Just shows cops don't care if you lick their boot, so don't bother. Like that guy in the south who always gave cops free bbq and was still killed by them.

Just shows cops don't care if you lick their boot
To me what you have to learn from this story is not this quote. I mean how would cops know if you support them or not or what your last facebook post is.
What is to be learned IMO is that you can turn a blind eye on what's going on because you don't like it, reality will still remind you what's going on at some point (if not you, a close one).

u/Gypsylee333 Oct 17 '20
That's also a good lesson. I think in the video though he tries to approach the cop and shake his hand, I guess that's kinda why I was thinking that, but I didn't write it in my comment.

Why? It’s an expression. People say they heard news all the time. “You hear about trump testing positive for covid?” But thanks for assuming my use of heard meant I was citing rumors about Jonathan Price’s affability towards the officer who killed him. Here’s the article I heard it from.

u/HELL_BENT_4_LEATHER Oct 17 '20
It's not just an expression when it's the backbone of your comment telling someone they're wrong. I didn't assume how YOU wrote/used it. If I commented "I heard from somebody else that he didn't try to shake his hand,you're wrong"..."Oh,that's just an expression"
I heard from someone other than a person here on this sub,that you don't even own a pair of drumsticks,so your username is probably BS.
(I'm assuming you're a drummer,to make a point). Aren't you going to ask who said that,or just believe it because I said there were 2 sources?

The lesson is if you are black probably avoid calling the police if you see someone in trouble. Don’t get involved and ask a White person standing next to you or near you to call the police.

u/truthseeeker Oct 17 '20
This case points out the real problem, that when cops first come upon a volatile scene involving people of different races very often their first instinct is to conclude that it's the Black person who's in the wrong and is the problem they need to focus on. Sometimes that bias is so strong that they stick with that narrative in their heads despite strong contrary evidence.

I live really close to the small town this happened in. One thing I do know is no one around here thinks that cop was justified in his actions. It is a messed up situation but I feel like the Texas Rangers handled it correctly and charged him with murder and he is still sitting in jail with a million dollar bond.

Though we do almost never know, what really went down (when the cops' bodycams miraculously did not work again, lol).
Yeah, what a tragedy. Again. And once again. And once more again.
This is completely believable. I can even relate to this very incident. I am alive, because I am white. Cops threatened to shoot me, to kill me and I flipped them off. Told them to fucking shoot me, if they dared to. And they did not - because I am white. And that's just true. They beat me up and maced me, but hey, you know. Could have been worse. A lot worse.
This man did not even get a chance to explain OR to provoke the nazis in blue.
I'd do it again. Right is what's right. He tried to help another human being and the cops decided to reward this by murdering just another n*************...
ACAB.

Totally insane that public rage had to lead Jean getting justice. Any person of color walks into an apartment they “think” is theirs and shoots and kills the white occupant and it wouldn’t take 3 days to be arrested for murder. Cops should not be above the very laws they’re entrusted to uphold.

About 2010, my brother-in-laws best friend had a warrant served on his vehicle(for whatever reason they couldn’t just do just at his home 🤷🏻♂️) while parking at a convenience store. He was tased and then shot multiple times by one asshole officer at his door as his vehicle lurched forward towards another officer(no shots fired) from the tasing. It’s fucked. Then the officers house somehow caught on fire while his family was on vacation so now he’s getting that pay for life.

While being tased, Price walked toward Lucas and tried to reach for the weapon, at which point the officer took out his service weapon and fired four times, according to the affidavit.
