POLICE BRUTALITY CASES: WALTER SCOTT MURDER & MORE

[HairOfTheDog]

Complete and utter bullshit.
That guy bought the badge he wore and had NO qualifications to wear it. He was so incompetent with the weapons he carried I can't even believe he was allowed to carry them.
I don't even carry a weapon for a living, never have. But, I know every weapon I have instantly by a single touch. I can place my hand on any weapon I own and instantly know whickh one it is. Granted it helps a lot that I know what room I am in and already know what weapons are there.
That guy is a fucking idiot and needs to go to jail, he killed a guy that had already been subdued, utter bullshit.

Bates (aka Cocksucka DC2) is looking like a real roach to me at this point too, Six.

Bates pleaded not guilty to manslaughter yesterday and then declared that he was off to the Bahamas with his family. He's out on bond and a free man. But, it was not very bright to make that public statement with a big ole smile on his face when he's being accused of being apathetic and the Harris family is grieving their loss.


"I just shot a man to death, I'm off to the Bahamas with my family!"

Last night I read that Bates was the campaign manager for the Sheriff, Stanley Glanz. They're tight.

Then, today, it was revealed that Bates was investigated in 2009 in response to officers complaining that he wasn't fit for field duty.

Snip:
The investigation concluded Bates' training was questionable and that he was given preferential treatment. Deputies had voiced concerns about Bates' behavior in the field, almost from the very beginning.

Bates reportedly used his personal car to make unauthorized vehicle stops. When confronted Bates said that he could do what he wanted, and that anyone who had a problem with him should go see the sheriff.
