During the course of the investigation into the shooting, deputy Herandez resigned from the force.
Good. So now maybe they should look into their hiring and retention policies to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Unfortunately, that’s not how this works. By resigning, the officer terminated the investigation. Is probably already working the next closest PD because they have no red flags ( because the previous investigation was unable to conclude). Quite the system.
It's Florida
The real title for this is: "Officer attempts to murder unarmed suspect handcuffed in back of cruiser."
While Hernandez fired on the car, Marquis Jackson, who was accused of stealing his girlfriend’s car, was in the back of the police cruiser. Officers had searched, handcuffed and loaded the accused into the back of the police car
Goddamn, imagine being that guy cuffed in the car, trapped while two cops unload at you. Hoooooly shit.
And they somehow miss an entire mag+1's worth of rounds
Twice.
The best part...
After hearing the sound of the acorn, the deputy reported that he also felt a “tingliness” all along the side of his body. He then said his “legs just give out” and he fell to the ground, assuming that he had been seriously injured by something.
We experience what we believe... Our minds are so incredibly capable of deceiving us.
That's why they also spread the myth of fentanyl overdoses by incidental contact. They see an unknown substance, have a panic attack, and assume they're OD'ing.
Ask any paramedic... you really can't OD from incidental skin contact with fentanyl.
Who is they and why would they need to spread a myth that skin contact with fentanyl would cause an OD?
Cops, and so they can keep abusing drug addicts.
Drug addicts would be the first to know skin contact with fentanyl doesn't cause an OD so yeah not sure that's the answer...
But, even if they didn't know I don't see how drug addicts thinking skin contact with fentanyl causing an OD enables cops to abuse them more?
Cops are the ones who think skin contact can cause an OD.
Yeah, got it, was being dense for a moment...
Jesus, I legitimately thought this was satire but it seems that it isn't. This is unreal, even for American police.
From the other (linked) article:
[Okaloosa County Sheriff] Aden said the [Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office] must work to protect both officers and anyone accused of a crime. [...] “Though his actions were ultimately not warranted, we do believe he felt his life was in immediate peril and his response was based off the totality of circumstances surrounding this fear. Just as we have an obligation to protect our officers so they can go home safely to their families, law enforcement has the same obligation to any citizen being investigated for a crime.”
I don’t think anyone questions that “he felt his life was in peril”. The question is why a temperamental moron that can’t control his feelings long enough to think before unloading a lethal weapon at his own car should be entrusted to “serve and protect” the public.
Imagine how different the response would be if this was a different firearm-carrying profession that had done this, or a regular citizen with a permit to carry. It's disgusting how much police get away with just because they're police.
Cops are fucking dumb.
So did they murder the guy in the car?
Pryzbelewski.
You know, for drinks!
