the running man had ample opportunity to 'reload' a cartridge he doesnt have for a weapon he's never used before (uh, yeah), while attempting his escape.
This is you showing your ignorance again.
The extra cartridge is on the bottom of it's handle.
Nor does he need to reload, as he can use the prongs instead.
And again...such a dangerous weapon! Why put it right down next to the suspect, still alive on the ground? Yeah, he'll have fun explaining why he didnt secure the weapon instead.
And again this is you assuming he did.
But let's go with that assumption.
1. The witness said he made it clear to the Officer he was being recorded.
2. The witness also stated that the Officer knew that he was being recorded.
3. The Officer dropped it in plain view of another Officer as well as the witness.
To suggest that this was an attempt at a plant in light of this information, is ludicrous and nothing more than convoluted thoughts.
The Officer just experienced a traumatic incident. It is normal for there to be some manifestation of abnormal behavior after this.
His duty, as trained, was to secure the weapons, which unless there is evidence indicating otherwise, is the thing that should be assumed he is doing.
While he may have made a mistake dropping it next to the
unconscious suspect in his attempt to secure the scene, he shortly thought better of it and secured it in it's holster, but it is not indicative of a plant.
You sarcastically insinuating otherwise is just sinister folly.
I think the cop was just too lazy to run after him and didnt want to have to restrain such a big guy on his own.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! :doh
That is why he gave chase and involved himself in a ground struggle to subdue the suspect.
It's like you put no effort into your thoughts. They just run off of bias.
Still waiting for all those claiming the Officer lied to prove it.
