I think him pointing to the type of music it was indicates what he is saying goes even deeper than that.

Ok, so from now on we will go by your new rules. If someone has a gun, in their pockey, in their home, police can open fire through the walls because that person could possibly be a threat


Not if he's white.
I dont even to like to take it that direction because this is not a black problem and as long as we make it a back problem, unfortunately it will not be taken seriously. It is a messed up police problem. It is a jack booted thug problem and it happens to people of all colors. I am sure it happens disproportionately to people of lower economic status though which minorities are disproportionately a member of . Bt I have seen excessive police force used on many white people too


I'll take it there. I would wager to bet if the guy was white with a gun in his pocket and playing his music too loud in his own home while drunk and belligerent, he wouldn't have been shot to death over it.

So why the need to BLATANTLY LIE about that ...

Just curious ... im not a liar ... so i’d like to know how u can blatantly ignore what was actually said and make statements like u did when it pertains to the gun being in his pocket ...

The gun was in his pocket, that was in court evidence , so no one is lying and no one accused you of lying .

But say the gun was in his hand. So the claim is that he was thought to be a threat . But who TF would close the garage door if he was planning on shooting someone outside of the garage?

Yea, as I understand it, after they shot blind through the garage door, they didn't enter the house, they waited for SWAT to come breach the house and make sure it was safe.. so SWAT is the group that found him in the garage and confirmed the gun was in his pocket and unloaded...

I would say he probably have a better chance of not being shot depending on how he looked. If he looked like me, a tattoed vagrant biker wearing his MC cut, probably a lower chance of not getting shot . If he was wearing khakis and a (insert the whitest wasp clothing label here) he would probably stand a better chance, if he was white and listening to Pantera loudly he would stand a lower chance compared to if he was listening to ... hey 40, what do you listen to ?

And again..... AGAIN:

Testing showed NO BLOOD SPATTER on the handgun, indicating that the gun was NOT OUT OF HIS POCKET AT THE TIME OF THE SHOOTING.

It's in the original news article.
I have repeated it.
I have repeated it in bold and in color.
But certain people on this forum simply ignore one of the most important facts in this case.

Just stop, not one of those things you said is justification for a cop to kill someone. Not one . Your comments on his "racist music" show your true reasoning why you feel it was ok to kill him .


Actually the nasty racist music is what people called the police on him in the first place, being drunk, with a gun and evasive got him shot.

SO lets just assume that he wasnt brandishing a gun. Just for arguments sake, it was in his pocket. would that change your thought that the police were justified in shooting him through his garage door ?

Assuming lends nothing to the discussion, the article saidc "brandishing a gun"

He did everything wrong that day ...Should have not had loud nasty racist music in front of grade school kids, should not have had a gun on his person while drinking, should not have ignored police and should not have eluded police.

You Dawgs will never get Vambo to see that none of Hill's actions warranted a death sentence.

I truly do think Vambo believes this outcome was reasonable and just.

Because: loud music deserves death.

Is that right, Vambo?
Is that what you're trying to tell us?
That cops can shoot citizens with impunity because of loud music and 'holstered' guns?

That a 'disturbing the peace' call can end with a man dead in is own home... and that's just peachy with you?

Tell us exactly where you stand. Don't jack us around with "if this/then that's" Just say outright if you think this was the right outcome for a disturbing the peace call.

No the cops tried to claim he " brandsihed a gun" but every single shred of evidence showed the gun to be in his back pocket.

So answer my question, if the gun WAS in his back pocket, does that change your view on the police being justified in shooting him?

Well hey , I got caught speeding and had to talk to a cop, if he had unjustifiably shot me , I guess my wife and kids would be saying " if he just hadnt been speeding and listening to that damn NWA music he likes, he would be alive today"

The article said the officer had seen him brandish a gun.

Not sure at what point the man put the gun in his back pocket after that.

Well actually speeding would have been the cause of the police to interact with you, your actions after that would determine the results.

So “brandishing” or “improper exhibition” or “defensive display” or “unlawful display” (or whatever your state and jurisdiction calls it) depends specifically on your state and jurisdiction. Very generally, however, for an operating definition “brandishing” means to display, show, wave, or exhibit the firearm in a manner which another person might find threatening.

Just to be clear, brandishing does not mean he had the gun out. It could mean he showed them the weapon and threatened them with it. It would depend on the FL law.

Link

Here is the actual FL law:

The statute prohibits any person from “having or carrying any dirk, sword, sword cane, firearm, electric weapon or device, or other weapon” and, in the presence of another person, exhibiting the weapon “in a rude, careless, angry, or threatening manner, and not in necessary self-defense.”

Somehow that doesn't describe the way the SWAT team found him. Of course then you may be right. I'm sure that when you're shot in the head, the first thing you think of is to put your pistol in your back pocket.

just giving the law man. I have said multiple times this case seems fishy to me and I want more information. Someone post the actual law to clarify what people are arguing about is bad now?

You can brandish a weapon in your pocket, per the law.

somehow you cant read, you can have a weapon in your waistband, or pocket, and still be brandishing it. Please read the law I posted for clarification.

That is brandishing a weapon, per the law.

So the simple act of turning sideways to the police, which would have allowed them to see the weapon, is brandishing?

It was testified to in court that the gun was found in the guys pocket.

None of us know for sure what happened prior concerning the gun.

It is possible it was always in the back pocket.

It is ALSO possible the guy had it in his hand when he opened the door. Saw it was the cops, and as he slammed the door down, put the gun in his back pocket before he was shot.

I don't know, I wasn't there.

It is possible it was always in the back pocket.

It is ALSO possible the guy had it in his hand when he opened the door. Saw it was the cops, and as he slammed the door down, put the gun in his back pocket before he was shot.

I don't know, I wasn't there.

None of us were Arch... and this conversation would be going much differently if more folks were willing to at least admit that there is some ambiguity in "the facts"...

But the "BANG, BANG" and "BOOM! Headshot" crowd sure seems to act like they know every detail of what happened and that this guy deserved to die.

I am not arguing that. once again, read all my post. This shooting stinks to high heaven. I am simply pointing out the law.

Some are arguing he wasn't brandishing a weapon because it was in his pocket. By law, that is not true, depending on the actions that took place.

As I have said in MULTIPLE post, we need more information - even though I do not believe we will ever get it, EVEN if it is there.
