How nice, you’re letting the twitspam get onto the comments as well. Additionally, something’s taking a lot of CPU on your new site if you leave the tab open, I’m guessing the two twitfeeds on the right. Maybe try the style of feed Injustice everywhere used. Why’d you remove that feed? the guy’s still grinding along, and needs all the support he can get.

There might be something to be said about the argument that a film crew can result in the cops playing up to the camera. But the problem is not the camera, and not a problem with an actual documentary film crew. The problem these are just propaganda, used to make the police look good. When do you ever see a cop beating up innocent people on the Cops tv show? These shows aren’t out to present opposing sides in a documentary fashion. And if they were, they wouldn’t be invited.

When one of these cop shows came to my town, they complained they had to cut out so much they had little left to use. The cops were being very abusive but if any of that footage leaked, no other police department would let them ride along and the series would have been over.

As to why a 3rd party would not come forward (if indeed there is a tape) He/she may be afraid for his/her life. Think about it.

It wouldn’t take a lot of brainpower to figure out how to get the tape out and remain anonymous.

I wouldn’t put too much stock into what Feiger says. Personally I think he made this whole tape thing up, maybe hoping if the cops are lieing this will make somebody come forward.They did find the murder suspect at the location, he killed a 17 year old kid because he didn’t like the way the kid looked at him.

No, he was in another flat, which is essentially another location.
Having dealt with the Detroit Police on several occasions, I can tell you that the credibility is zero, not only from my perspective, but from all over.
I worked on a case last year where they entered the wrong flat, etc etc and charged everyone in the place with a crime. By the time we were done, one judge was kicked off the case and the only thing the city was worried about was if they were going to get sued or not. They’re sloppy, wreckless and criminal.
I am wrapping up my paperwork on a lawsuit against them here, shortly.

According to the police they had a warrant for both parts of the duplex though some have claimed that they obtained parts of the warrant after the raid.

The thing that readers of this blog will understand is that, any credibility that law enforcement has is thrown out the window immediately when they themselves are suspected of wrong doing. Just look at the SWAT raid in MO. Police department will do everything they can to protect their own.

Yeah, they did the same thing in the case that I worked on. I found a great motion for an expert witness at the state’s expense to examine the validity of the warrant. I had suspected that they didn’t have a warrant (SOP). I think that is the point that they started to **** bricks.

It will be interesting when the actual footage surfaces.

My first thought on seeing this broadcast, was that the anchor looked… *odd*. He looks like he’s been painted brown, and his hands are white.

Come to find out, that’s exactly the case: he’s been public about having vitiligo.

Looks guns don’t “just go off”. They are fired intentionally or unintentionally. Either way, this cop should be charged at least with manslaughter. Any normy would be.

I’ve been saying the exact same thing ever since the story was put on youtube a couple days ago. Sad, sad story.

Unless the tape was from the window of a neighbor’s house or if some other identifying object or sound was in the tape. And for those who are either very paranoid may suspect the serial number of the camera is embedded in the video, could be another issue. Either it exists, or it doesn’t. The video from A&E and the dashcams almost certainly exist.

Go over to any of the gun forums and try to use the phrase “accidental discharge” and they’ll be all over you like a pit bull on a beef steak! The proper term is NEGLIGENT DISCHARGE!

“….which caused a gun to discharge that killed Aiyana Jones.”

Carlos, puh-leeze!

A gun, no matter what you might think, has no ‘voodoo’ or any other magical force that will make it fire other than a human finger pressing the trigger far enough to trip the sear.

The gun in question didn’t ‘go off’ or any such nonsense. The little girl was shot and killed by the police officer who was holding the pistol. The only question is whether it was deliberate or negligent.

Serial number from the camera embedded in the video?

Seriously?

I work in the reality television business and the production crew is required to get property releases, model releases, and permission to go on the property before they even start shooting if the footage is going to air. As we all know though, they can shoot from the sidewalk, but faces must be blurred if the production company does not get the individual to sign a release.

I would like to know if the A&E crew entered the property without permission. And it is possible A&E will be sued too.

I was just paraphrasing what the cops were claiming.

This is what I said.

“But it wasn’t the cameras that killed Jones. It was the police. Detroit Police Officer Joseph Weekely to be specific.”

Wouldn’t the property owner have to sue them? The police cannot sue because somebody is vid-recording on private property. The police really have no basis for even asking them to leave unless the property owner objects to their presence.

Well you made me go find it. Yes EXIF data is recorded in common video cameras. As an engineer in the electronics field, I see serial numbers embedded everywhere. BTW your printer also prints its sn on every color page.

The 7 yr. old girl must’ve given a similar look to the thug who murdered her. “Accident” my ass.

However Mark, I do agree with you about the lawyer and the mystery video. Its time for him to either produce the video or shut up about it. At this point he is damaging his clients defense with this nonsense.
