    ****. This. *****.

    Put her stupid ass in jail.

    Facing criticism, CMPD defends release of shorter video from police shooting

    So, a man legally carrying outside of restaurant was stopped by police and told to put his gun on the ground, so he reaches towards his holster to get the gun and comply with their orders only to be shot dead for reaching for a weapon. Police hid body cam footage of the incident for months.

    The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department withheld nearly nine minutes of footage that a body-worn camera recorded at a west Charlotte Burger King when an officer fatally shot Danquirs Franklin, City Attorney Patrick Baker confirmed.


    CMPD on Monday released two minutes and 20 seconds of video captured by the body camera worn by Officer Wende Kerl, showing her fatally shooting Franklin on March 25. The video appears to end abruptly after it shows Kerl shoot Franklin, who then slumps over.

    But at least 11 minutes of footage was recorded on Kerl’s camera. CMPD provided only two minutes and 20 seconds of that video to Mecklenburg Superior Court Judge Donnie Hoover, who held a hearing to discuss the petitions for release from three local TV reporters.


    Asked whether more than two minutes and 20 seconds of video existed, Lt. Brad Koch told the Observer Monday: “All the video for this incident was provided to the judge.” He said Thursday that was not right and then asked that all further questions be submitted by email.

    Not seeing anything about legal oc. Or why cops were called or what led up to it.

    NC is an open carry, no permit required state. There's nothing to imply he was doing anything wrong.

    Killed for following directions, would also likely have been killed if he disobeyed. It’s like premeditated murder in a way. Cop just walks up to him and kills him; knowing full well she has full control of the situation.

    Why were their guns drawn? What led up to this? Excellent questions Sig.

    CMPD: the department that gave us US v Black (2013).

    She was already screaming when she got out of her car, no attempt to diffuse the situation. Perhaps a MWAG call led up to it, regardless, a ****ing cop should be trained to handle a carry situation.

    Still there might be more to it. Nobody wants to pick sides, they just want the truth. And it's hard to see this far away.

    Some people arent just cut out to be cops. They shoot innocent people, fail to run toward gunfire to save children in a high school, etc.

    She should have had him raise his hands and wait for backup, walk backwards to another officer while a third covered the driver. She was, should have been, in control and set that up to fail.

    I am already tired of seeing this biased agenda bull**** repeated. The gun was NOT being legally carried by a normal person behaving normally. There were multiple 911 calls reporting that this guy went into the Burger King and pointed a gun at the staff, then went outside and pointed it at other people in the parking lot. The "legally carried" factoid was an assumption based on NC's status as an open carry permitless state. These inconvenient facts are, of course, made to disappear by the race-baiters who are trying to make it look like the cops rolled up and shot someone for no reason. They arrived to a dangerous man with a gun call to find a...dangerous, non-compliant man with a gun.

    Sucks that this happened to him, but as usual there is a list of things he could have done to avoid being shot that is as long as my leg. Don't wave guns at Burger King and get the cops called on you. Don't ignore the police as though they're gonna go away. Don't deliberately conceal your hands. Don't draw a firearm on the police.

    I kinda wonder if, due to him hiding his hand, the police thought the gun was already in his hand and therefore available to be dropped. So when he started messing with it, that appears as a weapon manipulation of some kind, indicating that he's getting ready to fire on them. What could have avoided the whole thing? Standing up straight and raising his hands. Perhaps using his words. Maybe acting in a manner that looks like anything other than a crazy person with a gun who is psyching himself up to shoot some cops.

    There's possibly room for improvement in the police response here, but let's not lose sight of who is responsible for this entire situation coming to pass in the first place. I think you will find that if you don't point guns at people in the Burger King and then act shifty with police, your chances of ending the day with bullet wounds go way down.
