Those damn videos keep getting in the way of the truth.

Jordan Edwards -- honor roll student, but as we will all know soon enough, no angel -- was in a car leaving a house party when an officer opened fire. Police chief initially says car was "backing down the street towards the officers in an aggressive manner."

Body camera video shows car was driving away.

Police chief says he "misspoke." In a written statement, he misspoke. After reviewing the video, he says the shooting "did not meet our core values."

Trump tweets vs. police reports - which contain more bull****?
 
That is a rookie move for the cop to allow his body cam footage to be viewed. Veteran cops know there are ways around making sure it doesn't get seen.

Why, if cops start allowing body cam footage to be seen, we might actually start seeing what really happens! Cops can't allow that!
 
They were warned that all of this lawlessness and carnage STOPPED on Jan. 20.

Too bad for them if they didn't listen.

I thought you guys might be interested in the Dallas-related news.

Also guessing poin is giddy that a fire department employee got shot.
 
Start your own thread about it if you think its important, dip****.

That's not a denial that the shooting makes you happy.

As for the OP shooting, it's been ruled a homicide, right?
 
It's unanimous (aside from the true crazies) that the guy who shot the paramedic should go to prison for a long time.

A whole lot of people, perhaps even a majority, think the cop who shot the 15-year-old was doing the right thing.

I know QYFW won't see the difference, but it isn't difficult to grasp.
 
Given the kid didn't shoot himself, there's nothing else it could be.

Are you sure he didn't?

I guess what I'm getting at is that this shooting seems like one that will be easier to prosecute.

Did the PD have to spin a 180 after the first press release they issued was a complete lie?

Oh, I know the difference. I originally meant to post it as a WTF, Dallas? addition. But then I saw free postage and poin post and I couldn't help myself.

So you chose to be vacuous, SQGEE?
