Police shoot teen 5 times while.....

[seepy83]

i watched the beginning part of the video closely 5 times. still can't find where the passer-by picks up the gun.

can anyone else find when it happens and post the timestamp?

You can see the gun in the second half (part 2 on this page http://blog.alexanderhiggins.com/20...street-5-times-chasing-paying-bus-fare-36491/) of the video. You can see the camera guy walks up towards the scene/crowd. At 0:15 there is a gun in the lower right corner of the screen. Later, he starts to back up a little bit. At 1:19 a gun in a grey and white stripped hoodie is pointing to the ground and then picks something up...I think maybe that's what others think is the gun. But it looks like he's too close to the crowd (vs. how far back the gun looked at 0:15) ,and it doesn't look like a gun that he picks up.

Not sure if there's another video that shows someone pick it up.

I can't believe that with all the officers at that scene, no one picked up the damn gun...

What? No!

You risk significant harm to other people and you risk getting shot. THAT'S how it works.

Well yes. Collateral damage is always part of a flight.

at the 0:15 mark, yeah, that looks like a gun... but at the 1:19 mark, pretty sure that's not a gun... looks like a phone or a pack of gum or something. plus, it's WAY closer to that chain by where the guy got shot than the thing that was on the ground that looked like a gun.

surprised no one picked it up prior to that.

apparently this thread has backfired.

if you want to post the troll face as if you meant to troll us all along, you can't say the thread backfired because you would have otherwise succesfully trolled a lot of people. By saying it backfired its obvious that you intended the thread as you posted it instead of as an elaborate troll the likes of the pit bull mauls kitty thread

They now say that the bullet that struck the victim might have been his own firearm. The medical examiner says he was shot with a .380 and not a .40 which the cops use. Details are still coming in...

the bullet?

a few things wrong here...

1. he was shot 5 times
2. if the cop shot him 5 times and there was only 1 bullet in him and it wasn't the cop's, that cop needs to get back to firearms training
3. then, i guess to add insult to injury, it was a suicide?
