From that video, it looks like the cop was dead wrong. BUT why are are people running from the cops? When the blue lights go on PULL OVER, and none of this would of happened. Kinda similar to the kid recently killed in Plymouth.

Playing devils adovate - what if the guy on ground looked to be reaching for a weapon?

I can see it now the cop goes to jail for a few years then receives full pension with medical for life.

Come on down to Falmouth, if you know the cops you can get away with murder. Just ask Melvin Riene. Our force is tres' F&*^% up. I don't trust any one of them anyhow.

Flap that whole Reine story was like something out of a novel - amazing reporting by the Enterprise - I thought.

99.9 % of the time I side with the cops when its a "he said / she said" type scenario . . . maybe I've been too trusting - from what I saw the cop was dead wrong . . . was probably pretty amped up after the chase and having two at gunpoint.

Listen close to the audio, somebody, not the shooter , maybe the cops partner, says pretty clearly..."OK, Get up".. the soldier starts to get up, and quick draw MacGraw starts blamming away.. just saw it on the news, they had all the audio cleaned up, some censored, the kid was swearing pretty good, but, only in reply to the officers BS, and he was swearing too.

and i've watched the video ten times...

first of all the cop is yelling

shut the f0k up maddafoker
over and over
perhaps hes pissed off ??
after a chase probably yeah

but maybe, just maybe he himself
inadvertantly did a mis speak
instead of saying shut up and or get down
he combined them in the heat of the moment
and accidently said ....get up....

either way even if lethal force was justified
and he fired in self defense...
afterwards you dont still say
shut the FOK up MUDDAFOKER
ya know...that aint right.

I could not find the video , but I did see one of his wife telling a news crew that the other guy who was the driver took off and started to run so they shot at him first then shot the other man who was getting up off the ground............................................ ......

If the guy was reaching for a weapon the deputy was at fault for not frisking him. It didn't look like any attempt at reaching for a weapon to me though.

The guy was doing a push up to get off the ground, even if he had a weapon there is plenty of time for the officer to pounce on his back. Make no mistake the officer coldly, and calculatedly shot that man, the video does'nt lie, and I am pretty sure it was a witness to the whole thing that shot the video, not some dashboard cam in a cruiser.

the video was taken by a neighbor....

I'm very pro-police, but if that deputy does not go to jail, the justice system is more screwed up than I could have imagined.
