first of all if you can find dope which is much smaller and lighter than a gun how can you not find the gun? second of allit seams the gun would have actually had to be in his hand before handcuffs were put on or maybe behind his back, but even still you have limited use of your hands. This still doesn't make any common sense. the use of a simulated video does nothing for me!! So they didnt even here a bang they on ly notice when they looked in the car?

He may have been trying to shoot the cuffs off or one of the officers. Who knows. Like I have been saying here....Our police officers RISK THEIR LIVES every time they go on a call...the CRIMINAL should RIGHTFULLY BE RISKING HIS TOO.

They had the cops react the scene. Nah, that aint biased. LOL. I do however think its funny how KLRT noted he was black and the two cops were white. But when it comes to the description of a suspect of a crime, KLRT wont tell the race.

It was a recreation of what happened. What happened to the real tape. What part of reconstructed can stupid people not understand. It isn't real. It is the way they want you to believe it happened. Not Real. Fiction. Stupid to believe. They are all the same. Then there is savor. Of the flavor of where the sun don't hit. Read the head line. RECONSTRUCTION.
