Lets try some critical thinking: Who put those letters on that video? some media guy in a truck trying like hell to get that "exclusive" video on the air?, s/he thinks the Dep is saying "get up", so it's one persons opinion... that can influence millions.
Maybe it was the person who shot the video, did he upload it to a computer and edit it himself?
Watch it again and again, the MP is basically saying he's a cop, hes cool and he's going to get up... hes trying to take charge, but hes nothing more than an everyday nobody special suspect who has zero say in what goes on.
I cant clearly hear the Dep, but based on every bit of training I've had, which is the same as SBSO, "shut up" makes perfect sense while holding a semi prone mouthy suspect at gunpoint...."get up" makes no sense.
What would YOU (naysayers) do?, holding someone you just chased at gunpoint who tells you hes a cop and going to get up, then he gets up?
If you fight him, the driver can easily jump on your back, put you gun away the driver can cap you.. you had better be thinking these things and more, like who is in your kill zone, is there a cross fire, did the suspects crash near home and are his homies taking aim at your back?
You guys have all day to think about it without the benefit of being trained, fighting the MP sounds easy... until you realize there are 2 of them and 1 of you.. and if a Deputy sheriff loses a fight, just one, he dies.
The facts will come out, apparently they were in a residential area of Chino and I'm sure plenty of eye and ear witnesses will shed light on what was actually said.
When you unholster a weapon, the ONLY intent is to SHOOT, anything else and you are asking for trouble. I know so many damn Police, State Troopers, on up to the FBI and Secret Service.
What this "cowboy" did, should be at the MINIMUM 20 years. He did NOT say "Shut up", he said "GET UP". As for him calling Racial slurs while "on an adrenaline rush", that is even classier. I guess in a way, the Officer needed the suspect to rise, so he WOULDN'T miss. This is pure and simple the result of "Someone who wasn't paying attention to the training he was given".
This is an UNJUSTIFYABLE shooting. No justification, whatsoever. IE, he's f**ked, and deserves to be in Prison, not JAIL (Misdemeanor), but "pound in the a** prison."
"Validity". Back in 1992, I worked with a buddy who had a 1989 Notchback Mustang that he raced with. I was the passenger in the vehicle. He had 2 Local PD cars, 3 Sheriff cars on his six, while he was doing 150. I was calmly asking "What the f**k are you doing?". My neighbor growing up is currently the Assistant Chief of a local PD. He finally got caught in a residential area.
The Sheriff Deputies beat the leaving s**t out of my buddy, the Local Police officers came to my side. The windows were down, I had my hands up and very slowly reached the handle on the outside of the door, and got out, and sat down. One wanted to cuff, and I said "Go ahead. I've done nothing wrong, I've done everything to make your job easier because (mentioned my neighbor)" One pulled me into the squad car and asked "How I got mixed up in this?" (clean record). I told him "he WAS a friend, no longer is he." They were still kicking the watermelon out of him, when I had the one officer drive me home. I even gave him $20 for dinner (not a bribe, his wallet was empty, as he was saying "it seemed like it was a Pizza night". I told him "Fair enough, you drove me about 20 miles, a cab would have been more expensive."
I've discussed today in LENGTH, with my buddies (PD - Secret Service). They all agree on an Attempted Murder Charge. The Deputy f**ked up, and he should pay for it with Prison time.

PS - I find it amusing that some in here, are "trying their damnest to defend this POS." Why? The sad fact is, The County this jack*** WORKED in, is tarnished.
