It's from the press conference. So, the cop was relaying the killer's message. Along with what the killer told investigators, the cop added his own editorial comments, like "bad day." That's why the cop's getting flamed. The "bad day" didn't come from the suspect. That was the cop's description of the killer's day. https://www.foxnews.com/us/georgia-sheriff-said-shooting-suspect-bad-day-replaced |
Well okay, but it still seems to be some sort of quote or paraphrase of what the suspect said. And the cop who said it was from the communications deparent, not an investigator on the case, so it's second hand information. And it's also totally meaningless as a motive. No shit he was having a "bad" day. Do people commit crimes on "good" days? The officer who said it was dismissed from the case and replaced by his supervisor. It's definitely not a professional opinion. |
The whole video is out there if you just Google. That was the officers editorial comment what led to the shooting. |
I disagree as to the nature, meaning and ultimate significance of his comment. You are entitled to your opinion and I am entitled to mine. |
Please, yell us more. What do you think the nature, meaning and ultimate significance of his comment was? |
The pretzel twisting you all do is simply mind boggling. Well okay, but...indeed. It is not a professional opinion, but an *empathetic* opinion from a law enforcement officer, regardless of what his role is. And that's why it is a problem. This is why white people get to go in front of a jury of their peers, and others get executed in the street. |
It was some sort of 2nd hand summary about what the suspect said, it was meant to suggest something about his state of mind before the shooting, and has no real significance. |
Geese. You can believe whatever you want. You r in America. |
I hope this kid’s defense lawyer does a better than someone who comes online offering his or her free legal advice. It’s free, so he gets what he paid for. |
A PP called it a professional opinion and I said it wasn't. Now you are agreeing it is not a professional opinion but claiming I am engaging in pretzel logic anyway for some other reason. I don't think your problem is my pretzel logic. I think your problem is simply that I have my own opinion about this and you don't like it. You don't have to like it. |
Why would you even think this is some kind of legal advice to a murder suspect? Do you think he reads DCUM for legal advice? |
Why don’t you just go away. There are other threads you might be more suitable for |
Why? Did I violate a rule? Or just make you uncomfortable? |
I’m actually not reading your post, I’m hiking out in the park. So it’s hard to read. I can tell it’s useless. On the other hand don’t go into Health thread you can actually damage people with your free advice |
You didn't read my post, don't even know what it's about, but you don't like it anyway. Okay. Sorry I interrupted your hike? |
