Sheriff's Deputies Shot And Killed Half-Brother Of Man Found Hanging In California
- Thread starter III-V
- Start date
This story just keeps getting more and more grotesque. It was incredibly insulting how they'd say that "no foul play was suspected" in the first place. Surprised they didn't claim this man shot himself also after being stopped by them.
You're assuming that he actually produced a weapon and shot at them, which may very well be an after the fact claim. You can't take any of their claims as true unless there's undoctored video evidence of an event.
If these are detectives, they may not be in standard uniform and cars.
IF, we believe what the sheriff said. Mr. Boone may have acted first because he was charged on Tuesday with, "multiple criminal counts including criminal threats, assault, false imprisonment and domestic violence."
Based on what was reported the woman that got shot was not the alleged victim that accused Mr. Boone of this.
"Deputies were investigating a report from Monday that Boone assaulted, pistol-whipped, kidnapped and threatened a former girlfriend at her residence."

I can't believe people can be so naive, especially with what's going on.
I don't think anyone is suggesting they set it up so the guy shot at them giving them the excuse to shoot back, they're saying it's likely the guy never shot at all - they just hunted him down and then reported that he opened fire first. (which of course there's no proof of since somehow in 2020 there were no body cams or even vehicle cams).
Yes, Mr. Boone's ex-girlfriend reported that on Monday. Charges were brought on Tuesday.

Hard to blame him considering they are what they are but there was no way it was going to end well by opening fire, and a likelihood it wouldn't even if he didn't considering he had a gun on him. As a black dude with a gun in the car he might have been as good as dead anyways.

Yeah, looks to be. This is a very messy situation.
The fact that there were no cameras is stupid, especially in this time. Legit the only reason I could see Mr. Boone shooting first was knowing that he had those kidnapping and assault charges. ....but he had a kid in the car.
Orchestrate? Why would they have to orchestrate anything? All they had to do was roll up, shoot, and file the report. They can say whatever they want about what happened. Who's going to stop them?
I really hope someone tries to bring in new legislation to prevent these body cams from just being off.
it should carry a heavy penalty, suspension and possible removal while doing an investigation into the case that "wasn't Caught on camera"

They weren't off--they didn't have them. I don't know if that would change either as long as plainclothes are allowed.
Detectives shouldn't have been at the front of the arrest if they were pursuing someone with gun-related charges.
Good point, is the excuse for the stop even real.
EDIT
Just saw the article that an ex girlfriend filed a report
I'm a criminal defense attorney in Los Angeles county - LA Sheriff Department does not issue body worn video to its deputies nor do they have any audio or video devices on their patrol cars. It's truly upsetting as LASD is one of the most demonstrably incompetent law enforcement agencies I have the displeasure of working with. Tentatively LASD is set to FINALLY roll out body worn video this fall. Here's an article about LASD from last year that really highlights how bad LASD is:
www.vox.com
A new lawsuit describes a violent gang in LA County. Its members are deputy sheriffs.
The "Banditos" say they’re a fraternal club for LA deputies. But critics allege that the group violently harasses civilians — and other officers.

A bunch of dangerous looking people with guns aimed at your 7 year old daughter hop out their car shouting orders and courts say they're the ones "fearing for their lives"

Shit man if two dudes just walk up on you in regular street clothes how the fuck are you supposed to know they're police.
Edit: And that's giving the police the benefit of the doubt saying he actually fired first. Which is suspect enough on its own.
