But the media was kind enough to add a "get up" subtitle, so it must be true.
I've seen the vids, and I have seen what appears to be an enhanced version of that video. I've listened to the sound while not watching the video. That officer DOES appear to be saying get up. If the officer didnt say get up, why does someone near the end of that vid tell the officer after the shooting....*You told him to get up!*?
Once the forensics analysis of that video is done we will know for sure what was said.
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.
This falls right into line with what LEO's are implying (some saying outright) over at glocktalk.com in the Cops forum, that MP's arent Police. They are police, they do have law enforcement duties along with security duties.
If you actually listened to the sound in that video you can clearly hear the officer say....get up, get up, suspect says ok, I'm getting up, shots fired.
Most of the LEO's over at glocktalk say that from this vid, it looks real bad for the officer doing the shooting, for numerous reasons.
It only takes ONE bad cop to make a person suspect every cop for the rest of their lives. I have been unfortunate enough to run into several bad cops in my lifetime.
I was pulled over in Seattle one time in the wee hours of the morning by a Washington St. Trooper. For 15 minutes I had a gun pointed at my head while the officer used every curse word in the book at me. I complied with everything he asked me to do, I was polite and courteous until it became painfully obvious that this particular cop was enjoying being a jerk. At that point I told him to either shoot me or put the gun away. Then I told him to either arrest me and charge me with a crime, or to hand me back my registration, military id card and proof of insurance and let me go. This particular cop never even went back to his cruiser to have my license checked.
This particular cop didnt calm down until he saw me write down his badge number and name. He asked me why I was doing that and I told him I was going to file a formal complaint against him for his abusive attitude and language. That officer had no buisiness yelling and screaming at me like he did, nor did he have cause to pull his gun.
He pulled me over for doing 90mph over the Bridge of the Narrows (name?). He admitted to NOT having radar or any other means to clock my speed. Understand this.....the vehicle I was driving was a 68 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup with a 307 V8, 3 speed manual transmission and 4:56 gears in the rear end. At 75mph the engine would start to backfire and was wound up so tight it sounded like it was about to throw a rod. That was after I rebuilt the engine. Before I rebuilt the engine it was so worn that the trucks top speed was 62mph.....unless I was going downhill, then I could get a bit more speed heh. This incident took place about 8 months before the engine overhaul and according to my speedometer I was doing 40mph across that bridge. I understand that my speedometer could have been *off*, but I seriously doubt that it was off by 50mph or by any significant amount since that was the ONLY time I was ever pulled over for *speeding* in that vehicle and I owned that truck for about 5 years.
*edit for spelling*
