Oh the shit police put up with every single shift is crazy. I trained BJJ with a few, all good people, in it to truly make a positive difference, and the stories were outrageous. I couldn't do the job and I am a very even keeled person. One who was a K-9 officer, so he was all over Phoenix and usually in bad situations, said that on almost every call people come out of the woodwork, taunting them, threatening them, filming them trying to provoke a response. It's absolutely crazy. |

The Channel 5 guy is fantastic with some really thought provoking videos. Very good storyteller. And yeah, some of the body cam stuff on youtube is 100% mental illness or addiction, but not all by a long shot. There are plenty of entitled douche bags who think they are smarter than the law, screw around, and find out. As I said, i watch both sides of these things and the videos themselves are fascinating to me as is the youtube comments. You always hear about how different stops happen depending on the race of the person arrested, but I just don't see it in "most" of these videos. Usually, it's just the way the person acts that gets them in trouble. |

Most common cop saying: stop or stop resisting Most common perp saying: I didn't do nothing/anything Note to self. If a cop stops me, first word from me is: Don't talk to me, I want a lawyer. Just a guess, but I'm going to say alcohol is the cause of 50%+ of these bodycams. Last edited by Edward64 : 02-17-2024 at 06:21 PM. |

I've seen several videos but none start-to-finish without some sort of MSM edits on the Dexter Reed shooting.
But from what I've read, Reed was stopped, didn't follow police orders and did seem to act suspiciously (rolled window up when told to keep it down and roll down back window), supposedly he fired first multiple times, the cops shot back. To me, assuming Reed did fire first, it was a justified shooting. Many, if not majority, of 96 shots seem to be when the guy was still in the car. However, what doesn't seem justified is the continued shooting after the guy was outside, on the ground (video said one cop shot 3 more times but there may have been more). Quote:

96 shots in a residential area is absolutely insane.

Thanks. I looked at the videos of the 4 officers. I know they said the perp fired first and sounded like multiple shots, and although that is likely, all I heard were the shots, nothing obvious that the deceased actually pointed a weapon and shot at the LEOs.
Assuming that is confirmed, seems like a legit shooting to me. I would like to know the purpose of the stop, the videos started with 3-4 cops getting into a vehicle. Good thing they had body cams but it would be great if they had "shoulder" cams. You could tell the LEOs were crouching or bent over and there wasn't a good angle in numerous sections. |
