And answering something you didn’t ask, but since you threw it it out there.....

How many times in cities all over America have we all been frustrated that homeless people just piss and shit anywhere they want, spewing filth with no consequence or police response, and yet you suggest that police do exactly the same thing? Why would you think that is acceptable?

So while I wouldn’t ‘like’ to see it, I think footage of that should be seen by the public, wether it be security cam, cell phone camera, or (if the officer is stupid enough to activate their camera, yes) body cam. Not pissing in the street is the standard we should hold everyone to.
Maybe not in an urban alleyway, but lets see how long you roll around all night with no access to a public bathroom in your patrol zone before you find a dark corn field to piss in.
So do cops hassle people they catch doing the same thing?

What's the cut-off for who is allowed to piss in public?100k a year?Male and female?
Rules for thee and not for me?

Pissing in a cornfield is a whole different scenario than pissing in a city somewhere.

I knew a guy named Jerry that got arrested for peeing in the corner of a parking garage in NYC back in the 90's..............

Because the police are (generally) contributing something tangible and positive to the community, and the homeless are just disposable human beings acting as a drain on society?
Wait, did you really mean to say it should be legal for cops to piss in public, but not legal for someone else? As in literally piss in public? Legal? Because they are a police officer?
FSS!  I threw out a sarcastic rebuttal and you're starting an argument about cops pissing in an alley.

Don’t know who this writer is but he has some interesting points noted. [“He could not have lawfully...” means Harrity.]

“• After Peter Wold’s cross-examination I thought Sweasy made the critical points. He could not have lawfully shot at the silhouette he made out. It was premature to use deadly force. Death or great bodily harm was only a possibility. I’m afraid these points were lost.”

What the hell is with all this talk of sharia killing?

The guy was jumpy and incompetent? perhaps intoxicated or altered by psych meds? perhaps he was just itching to get a kill in the line of duty?

I'd bet these are all more likely than it being some kind of spur of the moment sharia enforcement because a white lady was wearing pajamas outside of the home.

The only part part his religion may have played is if he got hired despite being a substandard applicant or 'failing' a psych screening, none of which I know to have happened because I haven't looked into it that much.

His partner did 12 calls with no bodycam on that night. I'd say the problem was 2 jackass fuckups.

The SGT in command of the scene who couldn't explain.under oath why she turned her cam off and on throughout her time on scene indicates a possible wider problem.

You may recall that Harrity’s bodycam video has what I called “a 15-second gap” that should have caught the shooting. Based on the testimony of several police witnesses, if turned on, the bodycam should have a 30-second buffering period during it silently captures the 30 seconds preceding activation of recording by the officer. We have seen this buffering on the numerous bodycam and squad car videos introduced into evidence — all but Harrity’s. Harrity’s has a 15-second buffering period. Another 15 seconds would have caught the shooting.

How much trouble would it be to install cameras that cover the entire 360 degree perimeter of the car instead of having just the dash cam?  I'm guessing that information storage would be the biggest pain in the ass, but then again, you could rewrite the regulations to say that only actual footage of actual incidents must be saved until inexpensive storage methods are developed.

I'm not sure what their defense plan even is.

There's nothing that objectively shows that a fear of death or great bodily injury is reasonable so he kind of has to get on the stand to give his frame of mind, but then that obviously opened him up to being cross-examined.

If he's found not guilty on this then it's pretty much official after the Shaver shooting that "reasonable officers" can shoot at anything and call it a threat.

IIRC, The partner testified that he drew his pistol, without any problems, because he felt nervous about a potential ambush when they entered the alley. Then Noor testifies that his partner tried to draw when he saw the woman, and fumbled the draw which is why Noor drew and fired.

Way back when this happened, the reports was a person, in the dark and unrecognizable, was running toward them in their squad car.  If it was not expected the complainant would be there to greet them, then I could imagine they suspected an ambush or bad guy intent on harming them.

Everyday on arfcom GD we hear keyborne rangers tell us how they are going to shoot them some bad guy if he even looks sideways at them.  But GD also wants to string up every police officer for everything, especially when they have no clue of what actually happened.  Monday morning quarterbacking is an arfcom GD sport that is highly competitive.

I generally turn mine on when I get out of my car.
There's usually some preliminary house-keeping and note-taking from the call ticket on the screen that doesn't need to be recorded, and recording all of that uselessly on each call would add up to a lot of needless recording and cut down on BWC battery life. You really have to be selective on when you're running your camera; if you run it for every little thing at the beginning of your shift, you'll run out of battery life long before the end of an eight hour shift.

Most likely outcome is Noor will see no penalty beyond the  loss of his job, and a fresh recruit selected only on the basis of demographics will be hired in his place.  This new recruit will be equally skilled in the law, policy, marksmanship, and courage.

There's a TINY possibility that this case will cause policies to be passed requiring constantly running cameras, or, as I hope, legislation that dictates state wide camera policy as well as  periodic review and fines for officers found to be failing to turn cameras on when they should.

EVENTUALLY, this kind of behavior is going to continue until the citizenry is sick of police being able to shoot at the smallest provocation and use the magic words 'but I was scared!' and changes are going to be made.  Some potential changes that I personally hope for is #1 strip an officer involved in such an incident of credentials permanently. #2 instead of viewing those cases in the split second of the shooting, back it up 5 minutes and say 'Did the officer take appropriate steps leading up to the shooting?  Did his actions de escalate or escalate the situation?  Did he approach the situation in a way that allowed him to be as informed as possible?'   So if officers really thought they were likely to be driving into an ambush and stated this was why they shot so quickly, the question then becomes, if an officer really thought he was driving into an ambush, wouldn't he #1 turn his body camera on #2 sweep the area with his lights extensively as he approached #3 called for backup #4 chosen the spot to stop the squad in the best tactical location #5 both partners would be looking out eyes peeled for threat vs chatting casually.

Not having a cam turned on because you're not expecting anything is like not having a round chambered.
Let's put an auxilary sensor in the holster that ensures the cam is on if your weapon is drawn.

Considering that same cop can write me a ticket for taking a piss in an alley, yes, I would.

Just popping in to say that no Muslim in this country should ever be given armed authority over any American. This man has no place in law enforcement, or in this country for that matter.

He shot an unarmed white woman for no reason whatsoever, on top of that. I hope they stick him in one of those flaming tires out in front of the courthouse. Piece of third world filth.

Get off the cross, we need the wood. This is a bad cop. Everyone wants him to be punished, severely for what he did. Your victim cop crap is getting old.

Yeah I'm not calling bullshit, because I believe that most cops would feel that way, but every Minn PD cop called as prosecution witness in this trial were uncooperative with the prosecutor. To a lay person, there seems to be an effort to hide something here. My theory is they are hiding shit training and SOPs and maybe mistakes made by other cops on the scene. But when every cop called as a witness refuses to cooperate and the scene supervisor can't explain why she turned her bodycam off and on throughout the scene investigation, it looks like something shady is going on.

As I've said many times, most police agencies are much more budget conscious than is recognized here.
They aren't going to buy a holster or tech that kicks a BWC on every time the gun is drawn.
Maybe a few will, most will ..or cannot afford to..do so.

Sounds like an issue with poor budgeting and being unwilling to make necessary tradeoffs. Litigating lawsuits is a lot more expensive than cameras that could prevent the suit in the first place. Body cameras have been generally good at exonerating officers rather than helping the complaining party.

A few possible solutions: proportional pay cuts to directly pay for acquisition costs, raise freeze for multiple years department wide, overtime caps, reduction in unnecessary spending in other areas,  elimination of non-essential personnel, issue a municipal bond to spread the cost.  As a side note, body cams ought to be considered essential equipment nowadays no differently than squad cars, issued firearms, radios, computers etc. and be budgeted for accordingly. Technology starts as a novelty and grows into a necessity, look at smartphones now vs a decade ago.

Two rookie cops, with poor training, in the same car, in the dark, on a possibly questionable call. At least one a social hire, scared out of his wits & way out of element.  What could go wrong?

The ‘real’ problem is way up the food chain. What happened was the results, not the cause.

Neither cop should have ever had a badge. Neither should their boss(s).

When was the last time a white blonde in PJs (WITH NO WEAPON) ambushed a cop?

You have a duty to stay in an ambush zone if you believe you are being targeted?

You can’t egress and call for backup?

Not even when you're actively being ambushed and have to shoot to save your life?
(assuming that Noor was doing what he says he was doing when he killed her)

If that's how you approach your job, I respect the hell out of you. But purely from a legal standpoint, the Supreme Court has ruled that cops do not have a duty to put themselves In Harm's Way or protect people.

Those rulings get cited here all of the time but have little actual impact on day to day police operations
