    Very common in exchange shootings with having been shot at, very diagnostic in evaluating mindset of the person who did the shooting...

    Is this day and age their is really no good excuse for the lack of dash cam and body cam footage.

    My my dash cam cost 100 bucks with memory card. I know the government will manage to make that way more expensive.

    Imo this may not not be the root cause of the tragedy but it is a secondary one and it can be fixed for the future.
    Yes, and where do you store every minute of video? What? You don’t keep it, you let the card overwrite itself? There are companies willing to give the cameras away, just to get the lucrative forever storage contracts. How much do you pay the guy to look up what happened last Monday at 0337, scrub all personal info from the clip, and deliver it to whatever busy body asked for it?

    Why do we need to keep every second of video forever? In this case we only needed to see what 5 minutes?

    Do you know nothing of public information laws? How do you know which five minutes to keep? It ALL has to be available to be reviewed, and it ALL has to be kept. Every interaction caught on camera is possibly evidence whether someone died or not. Traffic ticket go to court, dash/body cam footage can possibly be used in court, therefore it needs to be stored and made available. Who does that!? Better yet, who pays for that?

    And yet according to the department of justice 68% of local law enforcement agencies had managed to implement in car cameras by 2013. I’m sure that number has gone up in the last few years. Yet somehow, Indiana the state with a budget surplus, can’t seem to figure it out.

    We can make excuses all day long as to why not or we can figure it out and make it happen.

    Seeking Justice! (By demanding hordes of money.)

    Interesting they included the ER doctor.

    For this to have become so public, I would suspect the attorney made some kind of news release. Two disparate filings with two totally different agencies (IDOI and the AG), and quotes from the plaintiff's attorney.

    That's what I was thinking too, but thought it better to let someone else say it first.

    Hey, that's nothin! How about the lawsuit after an aircraft engine failed and caused the plane to crash where the victim's family also included the manufacturer of the landing light bulb as well as Goodyear Tire just for having their products installed on the plane? (even though they have absolutely zero actual connection to the failed part) Cast a wide net and hope the other parties just throw money at you to get out of it.

    I'm curious about this....because defending such suits is what I do, but so far this claim is not reflected in the State's database. A delay is not unusual, though.

    Ya think?

    ....and of course, press releases like this serve only 3 purposes, none of them related to seeking "justice". #1 free attorney advertising, #2 applying pressure to the defendants, and #3 influencing the jury venire.

    That reinforces my thought that the plaintiff's attorney dropped these on the media as soon as he filed them.

    (I had to edit my post to include HoughMade's Captain Obvious, well, because :):)

    The ER doctor too?
    From the article: “Glenn was there almost an hour and they failed to protect his airway, and he suffocated,” Kehoe said. “They teach us in first aid to follow the ABCs – airway, breathing, circulation. If you don’t start with that and protect the airway, you haven’t really done much for them. That’s the whole gist of it.”

    If even partially true, I'd say the suit against the doctor seems reasonable.
