We were talking about DC, remember?
Show me a similar cite for DC and I might click on it.
Wait, that’s not even in this fucking thread. You saying that SteveG1 is busting my chops over something someone said in a thread I don’t participate in? Wow!
We’re limiting the discussion to only your hypothetical?
You still lose.
In one incident in the District, an officer did not turn on his camera before he fatally shot an unarmed motorcyclist in a case that has angered the victim’s family and friends. The D.C. police union says it will push for a new device that turns on body cameras when an officer removes a gun from the holster.

So it’s the same people “teaching” the same thing, but with a different name attached to it.
Did we miss this one from Virginia ? It’s in the news right now because of the release of the dashcam video.
Police on Wednesday released a dashboard video showing the fatal shooting of a driver at the end of a car chase on a northern Virginia highway.
Lawyers for the driver’s family say provides clear evidence that police overreacted by drawing and firing their weapons without cause.
Bijan Ghaisar, 25, of McLean, died after the Nov. 17 chase, in which he was shot by U.S. Park Police. Authorities say Ghaisar fled after being involved in a crash on the George Washington Parkway. The FBI is now investigating the shooting.
The four-minute nighttime video shows a chase beginning in the parkway, then turning into a residential neighborhood. It shows the car driven by Ghaisar stopping twice during the chase, and officers approaching the car with guns drawn. In both cases, Ghaisar drives off.
“Bijan Ghaisar was repeatedly threatened by over-aggressive and out-of-control law enforcement officers, after he drove away from a minor traffic incident in which he was the victim and in which there was little property damage and no known injuries,” the lawyers said. “No one was even close to being in harm’s way until a pair of U.S. Park Police officers repeatedly shot Bijan at close range as he sat, unarmed, in his Jeep on a residential street.”
I came here to post this one. In my opinion, the video looked more like an execution with 4 shots to the head than police trying to protect themselves, but I am sure they will get off without charges filed.

I expect the cops to say they were protecting themselves from a deadly weapon (the car), but the video clearly shows that wasn’t the case. Sure, the bozo didn’t pull over and stop, but that doesn’t mean the cops should act as judge, jury and executioner on the spot.
It looked like he was struggling with the ropes to reach for a gun?
Alternately-The victim had a crazed look in his eyes, and the Fibbie thought he was high on Angel Dust?

Alternatively #2- What do they call the FBI agent who graduates last in his class?
If you kill the hostage, then the hostage takers no longer have any leverage, so you can take them without any further violence.
I guess he saw SPEED one too many times.
Note that in this case, the agents knew that the hostage was male and that the only other adult present, the woman “guarding” him, was female. So going in they knew “Man=do not shoot.”

How do you expect them to tell the gender of a person when they are tied up?

Offer them a refreshing soft drink. When they finish, grab the can and get it to the lab for prints and DNA. I’ve seen this in various documentaries.
