Ark. officer to be reprimanded after car shooting

LEATHERNECK: Marine? Anyway you are right, but I think the cop had his turn, his only pay should be until the investigation committee fired him in a day or two, there is no telling who that guy could have killed while he was in police custody. I have had a couple of incidents with the police in 60+ years and you can believe they knew how much change was in my pockets before they started talking, no I wasn't arrested, just checked, like they can't do Mexicans anymore according to Washington D.C.

Where in the head was he shot? Was he getting it out of the pocket so he could shoot the cop and it went off and hit him in the back of the head at an upperward angle what or was he shot in the temple at a downward angle? Lot of unanswered questions, maybe wasn't suicide maybe it was attmepted murder and the killer accidently killed himself what? The cop messed up, by not searching the dude sure enough but just to blame the cop for shooting the dude, and a cover up? Cop being stupid is one thing, cop just plain killing someone is something entirely different.

I think the meth, pain pills, and malt liquor worked in mysterious ways, not the lord.

I'm tired of hearing about this already. Just let me know how much the city of Jonesboro settles the lawsuit for.

I am not a big fan of police in general but the cover-up claims are begining to smell of a Tawana Barley type situation. First look at the gun: His girlfriend has stated that he called the police from the car saying "he had a gun with him" and "he loved her and that he was scared". His cell phone records support the woman's story. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-57498651-504083/chavis-carter-told-girlfriend-he-had-a-gun-in-patrol-car-before-he-committed-suicide-say-ark-police/ Then there are the police re-enactments that show people of varying builds being able to take out and handgun and put it against their temple's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yA37LxlzLVQ Being that the officer's video was running and the audio is available but no one reports him screaming or begging for his life, like you would expect from a victim if someone pointed a gun at them and pulled the trigger. Then there is the eye witness, who confirmed the police officer's version of events. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRBk4cefYRY Everytime someone with an agenda exploits something like this, we all lose because in cases where someone is actually harmed, incidents like this are recalled to show bias and cast doubt on someone who truly was injured.

hey leatherneck i hope you run for sheriff in saline county ar that interview he did on pregent girl sounded like the one in burt reynlds movie white lighting this is my house wish burt come run saline sheriff in the river thats why inmates that are sick just suffer

Hey Marine; if you run in my county, you'll get my vote. Provided I'm still here, and the world too.

this is a strange story, i dont see why a cop would kill this young man and i also dont see why he would kill himself. i dont see how the cop missed the gun on a search, that could have gotten him killed or another officer killed. this is just a strange story from beginning to end. i hope his family can find some closure i dont see how but the Lord works in mysterious ways.

Really?! A. How do you miss something as important as a GUN in a search? B. How did he shoot him in the head, when he had his hands cuffed behind his back. I heard he was shot in the temple. C. I smell a cover up

Maybe his training should take place in a federal prison conducting strip searches everyday for six months then he will conduct a proper search when he pulls the next one over. Seems to me that around this state law enforcement get off too easy. I keep saying I am running for Sheriff in 2014, not saying what county yet, but things will be different from day one if I get elected.
