Maybe to end all the cop violence in America, only PHd’s should be allowed to be cops.

Seems when you leave the job to morons with GED’s and D average high school grads you get the freaks like this shooter.

Remember too, that in Webb’s trial, his jury was also given the option to convict on the lesser charge of Infliction of Great Bodily Harm with a Firearm, which they should have done. The DA included this charge specifically because it DOESN’T require proof of criminal intent or motive to find guilt, which are the very factors some are using to defend this not guilty verdict. The only thing required for a finding of guilt on this charge is, did Webb inflict great bodily harm by shooting Elio Carrion, and was he justified in using the level of force he chose on that night? The photographic evidence clearly shows that he did indeed inflict great harm. His procedural violations are what created the danger for all involved, and the shooting probably wouldn’t have occurred if he’d followed proper procedure in the first place; therefore, this is proof that he was not justified in shooting this young man.

Furthermore, this jury had a motive for its not guilty decision, and it was purely financial. A guilty verdict would assign wrong doing on Webb’s part, and that would greatly change the entire outlook of the pending civil suit for all parties involved. Civil attorney’s for both Webb and the County stated in the LA Times, less than 24 hours after this verdict was announced, that the not guilty verdict would greatly bolster their case in the upcoming civil suit. The jury was fully aware of this fact also, and as residents of the County, they too have a stake in this civil case, as taxpayers. A motivating factor, if ever there was one; and it’s certainly a valid reason for everyone to be second guessing this jury’s verdict. Elio Carrion, and justice itself were cheated with this verdict, and that makes it an injustice for us all.

1. Why, when this cop is alone at this scene, did he not conduct a Felony Stop? After all, the driver was guilty of felony eluding. The cop’s claiming in court now that he shot out of fear, but if that’s the case, why is he standing within 5 feet of 2 people he’s just caught up to during a high speed chase? He should have been behind his own Police Cruiser, using it for cover until back-up arrived. His location in the video alone proves he wasn’t actually as scared as he now claims to have been.

2. The cop changed his story from the first comments he made. He first said the Airman tried to rush him. He had to change his story though because he found out there was a video tape that didn’t match his first account. So now he says he shot because he thought the Airman was drawing a gun on him as he rose from the ground. If that’s the case, why doesn’t he search the Airman for the assumed weapon after he shoots him? The last thing you’d want to leave on a person you just shot and believe is armed, would be a gun.

3. Finally, the most obvious of all, why would you tell an unhandcuffed suspect who’s already on the ground, to get up?
These words, more than anything else, make this look like a case of Attempted Murder, rather than Attempted Manslaughter.
By telling the Airman to get up, he was creating the situation needed to justify shooting him, as well as providing the access he needed to shoot the Airman on the front of his body, rather than shooting him in the back. It’s quite apparent, he didn’t know anyone was videotaping this incident. The charges don’t fit the crime. THis was attempted murder.

Make no mistake, these are dangerous times:

THE BARBARIANS ARE BOMBING,
THE ELITE ARE THIEVING,
THE BUREAUCRATS ARE SCHEMING,
THE ILLEGALS ARE PILFERING,
THE IMMIGRANTS ARE KILLING,
AND THE POLICE ARE SHOOTING US IN THE BACK
AS WE ASSUME THE PRONE POSITION…
