Family is pissed off.

What we don’t know and I would like to know is if he did have injuries did anyone document them with pictures did any medical offical check him over to see if He or the Dead kid had injuries matching a fight. Because all we have is the cops saying the guys back was wet and he had some blood on his face.

At this point I no longer care what color either party was. A kid was shot and no one knows why?[/quote]
No, you don’t know why. The proper authorities have heard why, allegedly, and are investigating. Big difference.[/quote]

Well let’s be honest. That is a Guess. We don’t know what the proper authorities heard. Let’s not pretend that the police never made mistakes.

This is true, someone will make a decision to do something or nothing.

I can understand that the family is upset and want answers. But what exactly do you think is going to be achieved by getting those recordings released soon? Are they going to release the tapes to CNN, FOX News, the Huffing post etc… ?

For the sake of argument lets suppose the 911 recording is damning. If there is a trial in a court of law (instead of the court of public opinion) one of the first steps will be selecting a jury. The defense will be able to ask prospective jurors what they know about the 911 audio, then they will ask “what is your opinion on it?”. One of the few pieces of evidence could be seriously undermined because the defense will be able to screen for jurors who aren’t influenced by it. [/quote]

You mistake my intentions. I do not necessarily want them released to the public, but the family has requested them. It is to them that I hope the recording is released soon. I am sure we will all hear them in good time, but I agree anything that would potentially jeopardize any legal proceedings is not worth it. Hopefully the family and their attorney realize this.[/quote]

Even then, if the father is all over the news giving his opinion of the recording it isn’t going to help him. This is like a high stakes game of poker. You play your cards close to your chest and don’t let the other player into your hand. The less said the better.

I have a hunch there is not a lot of evidence other than witness statements, so this is not going to be an easy case to prosecute. The police, the coroner are going to have to carefully gather all the evidence analyze it thoroughly, consult with the prosecutor, etc… All that takes time.

Meanwhile the family is distraught and want something done. Now. [/quote]

I hope the family has a decent legal team behind them. The police are not lawyers with guns or scientist with badges. In many cases the first on scene will determine who needs to be called in to the crime scene to investigate this or that. If it was determined on sight to be simple self defense case who knows what was or what was not collected for evidence.

The dad yelling for one piece of evidence to become public does not sound like the best advice. Because if the tapes add up to nothing then the police can just wait it out then go here ya go…see we told you nothing of substance was on them.

I just seen an update on youtube and the guy has still not been charged or even arrested.

Cause you know a kid coming home with skiddles and ice tea weighing 140lbs is such a threat and needs to be shot.

If this was a black man shooting a white kid. You better believe that someone is going to get a rodney king style beating and thrown in jail with no parole.

This shooter deserves the same treatment.

Without Question beating the shit out of the Man that shot your son will bring out a moment of satisfaction it won’t last. What the family needs more than a dead shooter is for the truth to come out.

Living with a question about why your son was killed must be Hell.

As a parent I am upset seeing this. No justice for the family… Your right it would be hell. I would think the world has gone crazy.

Based on the Evidence or lack of Collected at the crime scene. If it was seen as cut and dry self defense who knows what was collected.

If that is the case they seriously dropped the ball. They need to fire who ever what in charge of that investigation.

I come from a Very large Borough in a very large City. The police out here have tons of money, training and all kinds of legal and medical experts to fall back on. And mistakes still happen, the cops are still just average Joes doing a job.

Sometimes people need to stand up an yell " Don’t fuck this up" to make sure all the boxes have been checked

Yeah either that or they are just a racist as the chief. “the guy was squeeky clean” even though he has a record for assaulting cops.

I think there maybe something to do with the dropped assault charge at play here.

This is a good example of why the family needs to stop trying to have a trial in the press. Because you get dumbasses who don’t have good reading comprehension spreading rumors that aren’t true. Then they start antagonizing the police by impugning their integrity.

I have some doubt that the police would use the phrase “squeaky clean” but he would have had difficulty getting a CCW if he had a criminal conviction. In the legal system you are innocent until proven guilty, charged with a crime does not mean the same thing as convicted of a crime.

Oh god, not the young douchebags. Right from the get go they are offering conjecture and opinion with no evidence. I watched a minute and realized I have much better things to do on the internet like rub one out.

This was the clip that made me shake my head at the irrational way that nearly all white people tried to distance themselves from this crime by demonizing the “evil racist” at the expense of all critical thought.

Hell, you can see quite a bit of that in this thread, in fact.
