And the STOLEN 9mm found near the body must have been left there by some criminal. Plausible.
Yes, we are theorizing it was a Peanut Butter and Jelly (due to the report of it JAMing after 3 rounds)....
Probably...... gets back to what I said earlier about this entire situation being the result of shoddy police work in the past. False evidence and crooked copping in some communities makes people lose trust and question everything including the open/shut legit cases. Its a vicious cycle really where the good police work gets overshadowed by the bad work. And that's before you get into the misinformation aspect.
I have a problem with bringing up past failures and attempting to apply them to every case to come. The case has to be considered on it's own merit or the system doesn't work.
But that is what happens in court. Past offenses do come into play against defendant's but not police. You can blame it on human nature if you choose. I have a problem with you quickly dismissing past failures and thinking they should have no bearing on the trust level of a department to do their jobs correctly. Should I also believe that you think credit reports are bullshiggity? I mean past behavior should never be used as a predictor of future behavior right????
Not true, any mention of a defendant's past is grounds for an immediate mistrial.
An intelligent person would recognize the difference being that the police are in positions of authority. Get back to me next time you see anyone harassing or arresting police because they fit the description.
Not true if a defendant has been convicted of a crime that carries a punishment of 60 or more days it can be brought up in court. But it has be be a conviction not just a charge.
Please try keeping up with me here. I never said that bad bad police work invalidates future case work. I specifically addressed why some communities have a hard time trusting their local PD to do their jobs fairly and that mistrust is fueled by poor police work on the past. Doesn't mean its not valid but it does mean the community doesn't blindly trust it.
No, an intelligent person would know that it is insane to believe that a police officer shooting a suspect in broad daylight in front of witnesses is evidence of some institutionalized, racist conspiracy because bad things have happened in the past.Wahoo95:1566574 said:
Okaayyy.....WTF does that have to do with explaining why some people don't blindly trust the police? The conversation drifted into why people were protesting what seems to be a legit open/shut case and why they would question the evidence of said open/shut case. What exactly are you attempting to add to that conversation?
2) Can it be used as evidence at trial?
