Like the Johnston case, police were relying on what they referred to as an informant for the Whitworth case, which could be anything. .
The Johnston case parallels that of the shootings on the Danziger bridge after Katrina with officers pleading guilty to conspiracy and planting evidence. "Smith and Junnier pleaded guilty to state charges of manslaughter, and federal civil rights charges.[16] Smith and Junnier pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and making false statements, which were state charges.[3][6] Smith additionally pleaded guilty to perjury.[28] Smith admitted that he had planted bags of marijuana in Johnston's house after the shooting.[3]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathryn_Johnston_shooting .
fucking pigs props to that old lady for firing off shots when they busted down the door unannounced though, but of course they could have been lying about that too..
An 'officer' in the Danziger bridge incident was falsifying his identity. He wasn't an officer and was posing as a deputy sheriff. You can't even believe who they say they are. From the NPR article on Danziger: "Fact-checking the police report reveals that critical information is wrong: -- First, there were never two officers down at the scene, the cause of the original call. -- Second, the main complainant is a man named David Ryder who was posing that day as a St. Landry Parish deputy sheriff. He is the person who identified Lance Madison as a shooter. But Ryder isn't an officer; he's a private citizen from Opelousas, La., who drove to New Orleans after Katrina to help out with rescues. -- Finally, records show that Ronald Madison, who was mentally retarded since birth, was shot seven times, not once, as the police say." http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6063982 .
They’ll probably give him a medal for this Detroit Police officer, kills 7-year-old in home ASSOCIATED PRESS 05/17/2010 DETROIT — A sleeping 7-year-old girl was shot and killed when an officer’s gun went off while Detroit police were searching a duplex for a suspect in the slaying of a teenager, a police official said. Assistant Chief Ralph Godbee said at a news conference Sunday that Aiyana Jones was hit in the neck by a single bullet and died at a hospital. Police said the girl was sleeping on a couch when she was shot. Charles Jones, Aiyana’s father, told the Detroit News “They came into my house with a flash grenade and a bullet,” Jones said. “They say my mother resisted them, that she tried to take an officer’s gun. My mother had never been in handcuffs in her life. They killed my baby, and I want someone to tell the truth.” Godbee said the shooting was being investigated and all information was preliminary. The officer was put on paid administrative leave, he said. Police do not believe the gun was fired intentionally H
