charlotte NC police shooting video

[JCricket]

Hey Folks,
Anyone else here try to watch the footage of the police video? I did several times. At just before 30 seconds, just as he was getting out of the car, I noticed a black device on the right ankle. It looks quite a bit like a gun holster to me. It is not clear, that is for sure.

WOW!

They just shot him.... why?

[JCricket]

good question!

Wow!

How blatantly Hitleresque can you get?

Had they waited a week, a bill that was signed into law in July would have made it much more difficult for the footage to become public.

House bill 972 established that recordings made by law enforcement officials — including those from body and dashboard cameras — would no longer be a matter of public record. It was ratified on June 30 and signed by Gov. Pat McCrory on July 11.

The relevant sections of the bill go into effect on Oct. 1.

If open carry is legal, how is it probable cause to be shot for it?

back to the question. What about what was on his right ankle. Anyone have an idea or better info on that?>

There was some talk about an ankle holster. Again, open carry is legal there, afaik.
This is one reason I do not support or practice open carry.

Also, see if you can stp the video at 41 seconds. It shows him laying on the ground after being shot. It looks very much like a gun and holster on his right ankle, least ways to me it does.

I looked. I imagine you mean this frame from second 41 from the above source (my screen capture):


I see what you mean. Here's the foot blown-up some.


It looks like a holster without a weapon in it. I don't understand how it's attached, but I'm no expert on holsters.


Of course, it's not impossible that it was photoshopped in. They had the video long enough.
