I just cannot accept that the Chief would allow any false reports and then testify to facts that would be contrary. Do you have a copy of the police press report regarding this incident?
Posts should address the subject matter rather than insulting other posters. Your comment was "Forgive me if I'm unwilling to take the word of an internet rando with an agenda on this one." rando an unpredictable, awkward and often creepy individual. a rando is always there in the background, even though no one invited him. Randos tend to be isolated within large groups; they sit in corners and lurk in the shadows of others. (Urban Dictionary) Regarding the professionalism of MPD Professional Standards
Where is the problem? This press report was released by the police a day after the event and indicates that they are having the FBI look into this case.
As I said when I respond to this press report earlier, it proves that the department was being responsible and professional by asking for investigations by outside agencies. It s fair to say that they had concerns about what had happened and were taking appropriate actions to investigate it.
It seems to be fashionable, when unable to make a point, to blame the goal posts.
It was a thing of beauty, really, how you deftly turned from the Chief would never allow a false report to so they minimized the details a tinsy bit?
Why do you say they minimized the details, they were starting two investigations by outside agencies to discover what the details were. Reading the press report as if it is an avoidance of the facts is simply not understanding that when there is an ongoing investigation the less said before the facts are determined the better. The goal posts dont more for people who understand where they were in the first place.
So if a department requests the FBI and another department to investigate an incident and withholds additional comment until the results of those investigations are known, it is contributing to innocent people getting killed? Where is the logic in that statement? Would you prefer that the department make a press release that may well contain false information or wait until the facts are know before making any official statement? The problem seems to be that people demand a statement and or the video and even when they have information that clearly shows the officer was justified they still claim that the police murdered, recent example Ma'Khia Bryant, Now those are the people who are responsible for getting people killed, they promote a false narrative that contributes to people being violent and confronting the police with violence which results in the police having to use deadly force. So if you what to blame someone blame the people who are responsible instead of blaming people like me, we are reacting to the problem, we are not causing it. Clear?
Did the police lie or did they tell the truth as they knew it before it became obvious the next day that things were not as they thought they were? Have you ever made a statement and then later discovered new facts that changed your thinking? The police are pressured to come up with immediate answers, if they delay because they do not know all the facts then some people accuse them of a coverup, at best it is a difficult situation when the trust that should exist has been destroyed by those who have their own agenda. In this case the police chief is a minority that from everything I can see is trying very hard to run a clean department, I seriously doubt he would put out a false statement, he knows that any false statement is going to be discovered in a short period of time and then he is going to have serious problems not only with the public but also within the command staff and officers of his own department.
How many people will be involved? Who will be paying for all those additional people? How do you grow your department, well simply start investigating everything everywhere. Welcome to growing and growing government always brought to you by the Dems.
No let me be clear the investigations are unnecessary. States and Cities do not need the federal government to make uninvited investigations into their operations.
