he said, "Plant. You can count on it." I'm so angry and disgusted, I can barely think straight. RIP, Keith.

I think he drops and later picks up gloves.

Also, in the photos which show a gun have it closer to the curb. Odd thing though...I don't see anything near the curb in the video.

By accident? There's no reason to throw gloves on the ground.

releasing the video now. The law states that police videos DO NOT have to be shared with the public.
It is in effect Oct 1.
They said that this is the reason they are holding onto the video, to wait out that deadline. At which point it will never have to be shown.

Does anyone know about this law?

... contrasting pictures

When she first starts filming him. You can see a dark object. It gets obscured later by him and his shadow. Not saying it is a gun, but take a look.

The red guy when the view 1st swings around. He seems to step back over it after grabbing the gloves.

First, from the man in the red shirt and then the black officer. Run the video in very slow motion. It is clear to me that gun(s) are planted.

Then he picks it up. The other man throws down two items which could be gloves. I think they knew they are being filmed so they want confusion here.

Ours were white, theirs are black.

No big mystery.

IF true this would debunk the "See! It's a gun" that I heard this morning.

In the video, other then an object behind the truck which could be.

but it looked like he may have been putting gloves on.

some of them ARE going to end up abusing their power.

On edit, not sure if it's a gun or a glove I see dropping to the ground.

Back of the white truck behind the red guy when the view 1st swings around...he ends up standing over it after picking up the 1st pair of gloves.

Like he's hiding something behind it from the camera

Some of y'all need to loosen your tinfoil hats.

They are putting on gloves to render aid- normal- and they move the gun away from the suspect for safety- normal.

would be willing to bet it's the same object shown here.

I haven't seen one in many years, but I think they're still available. And small.

Look at the leaves to the right. It's the size of a small leaf.

Look how small it is in comparison to the person's foot. Blow it up and you'll see it's not even metallic. It looks sort of crumpled. And that part that stick out looks more like a thumb of a glove, say, than a trigger or a hammer.

That weapon is going to be tested.

If the weapon is clean of fingerprints, that's more than a little suspicious. If the cops fingerprints are on it, despite them wearing gloves, that's more than a little suspicious. Planting the subjects fingerprints, once the gun is public and on video, is nigh impossible. Especially with 20 more police officers and other first responders just minutes from showing up.

The cop had to have the gun, clean of all his fingerprints, on his person throughout his shift in case this situation presented itself. There was no opportunity for him to go back to his car, retrieve and / or clean a gun, then come back and place it.

And it's not as simple as putting the suspects finger on the trigger. The most effective places to test a gun for fingerprints are on the magazine and on rounds still located inside the magazine. Planting that evidence takes time, and would be impossible in such an environment with the gun in view of multiple people and on video.

Where they falsified hundreds of reports, include several capital cases, to secure convictions? So hard to have much faith in the system.

IMO, it doesn't matter if he did or did not have a gun. The issue is the lack of transparency in the process.

Ha. That's funny. Who do you think they're going to try to protect? Care to take a guess?

feet of the officer in red at 1:22 (gunshots at 1:08). It later gets obscured by the officer in red. If it is a throw down he would have to have done it in 14 seconds.

You kind of see it even at 1:19.

It does not look like it is in the same place in relation to the man who was shot in the photo that appeared earlier.

That was the first time I saw that. Fuck. He had TBI and was on meds. He didn't understand what they wanted. Fuck.

If you plan to use them to handle evidence evidence, why throw them on the ground first?

What exactly was she telling Keith not to do?

/shrug


Maybe he was really boring book.

He is bending down and either picking something up or putting something down.

Also, look at 1:21 as the wife approaches. There is another dark object on the ground near the curb. But a few seconds later it is no longer visible. He could be standing over it, but when he moves away from that spot a bit, you still can't see it.
