Charlotte man had arms raised when police shot him in September, new videos show

Body cam footage obtained by the Charlotte Observer through a court order reveals that CMPD shot and killed Rueben Galindo, 29, who had called 911 and said he had a gun but no bullets. A dispatcher told officers that a Spanish-speaking man had called and wanted officers to help him.

Chief Kerr Putney on Friday continued to defend his officer’s decisions to shoot Galindo. But a national expert in police shootings who viewed the videos at the request of the Observer called the footage “troubling,” and said that Galindo appeared to be trying to comply with two separate police orders – drop it and throw it down – when he was shot.

“In and of itself, the video does not show that the officers are legally justified to shoot,” said Phil Stinson, a criminal justice professor at Bowling Green State University and a former law enforcement officer who tracks police shootings around the country.

Utah Officer Fired For Arrest Of Nurse, Recorded On Video

Salt Lake Police Chief Mike Brown relieved Detective Jeff Payne of his duties and disciplined his watch commander, Lt. James Tracey, by demoting him to the rank of officer.

The action comes after an internal affairs report released Sept. 13, which found that both officers were in violation of department policy. In a highly detailed "notice of decision" letter, Brown said the two officers failed in their requirement to treat all citizens "equally with courtesy, consideration and dignity."

"You demonstrated extremely poor professional judgment (especially for an officer with 27 years of experience), which calls into question your ability to effectively serve the public and the department," Brown wrote.

Video shows Utah police fatally shooting man from behind as he fled

^^ Same police department as this. Police chief:

Police declined to answer questions about the case, but the chief, Mike Brown, said in a statement: “We trust the process and support the decision from district attorney Sim Gill. I believe our officers have the training and judgement and ability to make split-second decisions in dynamic situations.”

Gill added in a statement: “Officer Fox reasonably believed deadly force was necessary to prevent death or serious bodily injury to himself and/or others and therefore his use of deadly force was ‘justified’.”

Shooting a black man isn't as bad as arresting a white woman. Obviously.
 
Or letting them have guns so they can shoot people.
 
"The list of nightmarish allegations in the series is too long to fully recount. The Herald noted cases where staffers set up fights and bet on them; instances where the DJJ hired guards who had formerly been caught having sex with inmates; other cases where guards showed a teen pornography and watched him "fondle himself"; raped a transgender inmate; had sex with a child detainee in a closet; and abused one female detainee by using her head as a "toilet plunger." One Broward County youth counselor was allegedly so brazen about having sex with teen inmates she became known as the "cradle robber." The 12 juvenile deaths the Herald noted seem due to state negligence."

Yet people get pissed about kneeling during the anthem.
 
Christ moonz. That's a video of a 3rd grader being tortured by a police officer. Stay in your lane.

TULSA, Okla. -- For the third time in less than a year a jury deadlocked on Friday and forced a mistrial in the murder case of a white former Oklahoma police officer accused of killing his daughter's black boyfriend, astonishing prosecutors and frustrating the boyfriend's family.

Judge Sharon Holmes declared the mistrial after four hours of jury deliberations over the fate of former Tulsa police officer Shannon Kepler. He was accused of fatally shooting 19-year-old Jeremey Lake in August 2014, not long after Lake started dating Kepler's then-18-year-old daughter, Lisa.

....

Kepler told investigators he was acting in self-defense because Lake was armed, but police didn't find a weapon on Lake or at the scene. Lake's aunt said her nephew was reaching out to shake Kepler's hand to introduce himself when Kepler fired.

An early story:
http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/crim...cle_18d43ac8-3feb-5230-bb2d-9af10860562d.html


Police say Jeremey Lake was killed Aug. 5 by Officer Shannon Kepler, who was arrested the following morning.

Lake, 19, was walking with his girlfriend — Kepler’s daughter Lisa — in the 200 block of North Maybelle Avenue when the off-duty officer pulled up in a black SUV and fired multiple shots, police say.

Two of those bullets struck Lake, who was pronounced dead at the scene. The teenager was struck once in the neck, on the right side just above the clavicle, and once in the right side of his chest, according to the report.

...


Kepler, according to testimony given by police investigators during that bond hearing, had inside his home a report detailing a time Lake had been arrested while still a juvenile. On that report, police said, Kepler had hand-written Lake’s address, the home outside where he ultimately died.

I assume there will be more snarky comments from conservatives instead of actually addressing this.

Kepler finally convicted.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/white-...th-of-daughters-black-boyfriend-jeremey-lake/

TULSA, Okla. -- A white former Oklahoma police officer was convicted of first-degree manslaughter late Wednesday in the off-duty fatal shooting of his daughter's black boyfriend after jurors in three previous trials couldn't decide whether to find him guilty of murder.
Jurors deliberated about six hours before finding ex-Tulsa officer Shannon Kepler, 57, guilty of the lesser charge in the August 2014 killing of 19-year-old Jeremey Lake, who had just started dating Kepler's then-18-year-old daughter, Lisa.
The jury recommended a sentence of 15 years in prison. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for November 20.
Lake's death occurred four days before a white police officer fatally shot an unarmed black teenager in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson on Aug. 9, 2014. Michael Brown's killing touched off months of protests and became a catalyst for the Black Lives Matter movement, which decries police violence against minorities and calls for greater transparency from law enforcement officials, especially in cases of officer-involved shootings.
