Wow...amazing how quickly the law can find and arrest a green card holder who apparently was up to no good 3000 miles away when he happened to catch a seemingly unjustified shooting by a LEO on tape.....
|
|
No shit....... Wow is right. |
|
|
Too funny.
ETA: So you guys think he should be given a pass on his charges from Miami? |
|
What the hell is this guy doing criss-crossing the country. I suspect that would clear up a lot.
|
|
If you bring attention to yourself people are going to look.
I arrested a guy the other day because he happened to want to be in the middle of a situation I was investigating and I found he had a warrant. Sometimes it is just the way the ball bounces and sometimes it hits you in the face. |
|
I didn't think it was funny.......it's weird. If he's a scumbag.......put his ass in jail. If it is some trumped up BS.......some fuckin heads should roll. |
|

He's probably not criss-crossing. It's probably an NCIC Soundex hit on the name, which happens all the time. Most times, a 3rd grader could read the hits and determine it's not the same person. CA LEO's are probably telling FL that they definitely have their guy, and once he gets shipped back there, it will be immediately discovered that he's not the guy, but he was arrested and transported "in good faith" believing it was him. |
|
|
I don't beleive there are any "real" charges in Miami to get a "pass" for. |
|
|
Does someone need permission to move from Florida to California? I must have missed that memo. Dude is probably a scumbag, but I just found the timing interesting. |
|
|
How dare they arrest him for a warrant?
What do they think he is, some kind of criminal? |
|
Its not coincidence that crooks grab video cameras when they see the cops on their street. |
|
|
If your an immigrant you should. INS should be notified of any change of address and subject to their approval. |

|
People move across the country all the time. My sister moved from Wisconsin to Georgia and my brother from Washington to Arizona in the past year. |
|
|
Can't say I blame them, after all he IS wanted for a crime. However, if anything odd happens that looks like they are trying to shut him up or punish him (treatment that another green card holder with that charge wouldn't receive) then I would be suspicious.
|
|
Is that the law? I should hope it is, but I do not know. |
|||
|
Why would they want to shut him up? He made the tape, the tape is in widespread circulation. Nothing more he can add to the case. |
|
|
I hope he knows to lay prone and never follow directions if an officer has a gun pointed at you
|
|
You think there might be more than one guy named Jose Valdez in South Florida and Southern California ? Highly unlikely...... j/k |
||
|
My personal feeling is he was to hot to get his face on the camera. We never see that heppen do we? And then as the Miami guys were watching and gloating. "Look that LA guy got his ass in a crack, those guys sure are screwups." "Hey, wait! Aint that the guy we were looking for last year?" "Holy shit it sure his. Let's call them and get him hooked up."
|
|
I thought the tape was supposedly 'in the custody' of the sheriff's department and they were refusing any access to it ? least that's what I heard last week, I think. Something new happen since ? |
||
|
It's all over the news and internet. |
|||
|
|
|||
|
I agree with you, it doesn't make any sense. So what I said is mostly a moot point. |
||
|
Sounds to me like a blatant attempt to discredit the primary witness to a possible act of police brutality.
|
|
Well then let's see it. Where's the link? |
||||
|
Not necessarily. Juries can be prejudiced. Discrediting witnesses is half the legal process. It may not always work, but attempting to cast doubt on a person's character or credibility is a very common legal tactic. |
||
|
Wrong. He has his green card and is a permanent resident. All he has to do is renew his green card and carry it with him. He does not have to get approval from INS for anything. |
|
|
Google Video has it |

Exactly! |

What's with digging up month old posts just to add a one-word reply?
|
|
What's with you deciding how I can or can't use my membership? For what it's worth, I didn't notice or pay attention to the date. The link was pasted to me, and I read it, and responded. I thought it was a live thread. Apparently it's not, but since you decided to play moderator, now it's getting bumped yet again. Pat yourself on the back. Do you get a free junior staff handbook and little plastic pilot wings when you join arfcom these days? |
|
|
Shit... He tells the guy to get up and then he caps him. That guy needs to be in jail. <eta> Just saw that this is a resurection. Funny how everybody shut up after the link was posted. |

www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-airman08.htmlThe guy got charged with attempted voluntary manslaughter. Not attempted murder...
|
|
EXACTLY! |
