Curiously, several of the mainstream news sources running this story mention that Highway Patrol Lance-Corporal Sean Groubert had pulled Levar Jones over for an alleged ‘seatbelt violation’, and instructed him to get out of the car (which if they happened occurred off camera or before the video above starts), yet don't mention that the officer then instructed Jones to get his licence.

Eg, NY Daily News, MSNBC, USA Today.

He mentions the seatbelt violation in the video. He undid it as he pulled into the gas station. Glad that he was only shot in the thigh & not killed.
 
Thats only because the cop was a shit shot he fired multiple times :eek:
At least the idiot has been sacked and charged and looking at jail time for once.
Somebody actually defended the idiot claiming he spooked the cop so it's understandable :facepalm:.
Unfortunately they show loads of videos of routine traffic stops going bad in cop training so you have badly trained hyped armed cops doing traffic stops

I was referring to the video linked to above. The video begins as Groubert pulls into the service station, you hear him say “Can I see your liceense, please,”, Jones reaches in for it, then Groubert goes nuts, “Get outta the car! Get outta the car!”, BANG BANG... BANG.. BANG.

The ‘pulling him over for a seatbelt violation’ is something which must have happened before the start of this video. The video above begins with Jones pulled over and Groubert pulling in to the service station.

Regardless of what Groubert says or does after he has shot Jones, he has (i) already pulled Jones over and then (ii) shot Jones.

The reports mentioned above have Groubery pulling Jones over for a ‘seatbelt violation’, with Jones then reaching into his vehicle and Jones shooting him.

These reports make no mention of Groubert's clear command to get the license, but do reference Groubert's apparent cause for pulling over Jones - a cause not shown at the beginning of the video.

The implication of presenting the evidence in this way is to present Jones as someone who made an innocent, unfortunate but (from the officer's point of view) apparently threatening move into his vehicle; that this was an unpredictable and rash action, and that Jones in some way contributed to his own shooting.

Whereas the tape clearly shows Groubert ordering Jones to show him his license; Jones responds to this command by reaching for his license; and he is shot - for complying with the officer's command.

That the reports can state that the issue which predicated the stop - the ‘seatbelt violation’ - when the video covering the events before the shooting does not seem to corroborate this, yet exclude the full context of the actions of Jones (ie reaching into his vehicle for his license because the officer expressly told him to get his license) tends to frame the whole incident in a different light.

Whether Groubert had reasonable cause for the stop - whether he believed there to be a ‘seatbelt violation’ before he stopped Jones, rather than, say, came up with it as a pretext for the stop subsequent to the shooting - is not the issue. The issue is with the choices made by some media organisations to present some evidence but not other evidence, and how that presentation of evidence can affect public perceptions.
 
Oklahoma cop: If you don't want to get raped don't get pulled over by a police officer

In response to the arrests of three law enforcement officials in Oklahoma for sexually assaulting women while on the job, an Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper told women they can avoid getting raped by a cop if they simply follow traffic laws.

Raw Story first pointed out on Tuesday that Capt. George Brown, a state trooper, shared a few tips for women in an interview with local NBC News affiliate KJRH. Brown told the KJRH anchor that women can keep their car doors locked and speak through a cracked window if a trooper approaches them. If the trooper asks a woman to get out of the car, Brown said, she can ask "in a polite way" why he wants her to do that.

But the "best tip that he can give," the anchor said on air of his interview with Brown, "is to follow the law in the first place so you don’t get pulled over."

In the past month, a Tulsa County Deputy, an OHP trooper and an Oklahoma City police officer have all been charged with repeatedly raping and sexually assaulting women while on the job.

Or Maybe oklahoma highway patrol can remind officer they are not living in fucking porn world and that women are unlikely to offer sexy time to get out of a ticket:facepalm:
i can understand the reluctance of command to do something you kind of expect police not to be rapists same as not robbing banks murdering people it really shouldnt have to be explained but obviously oklahoma highway patrol seem to have issues with not raping people :mad:

In the report it says she's now having complications. But if she loses the baby I bet she has no chance pressing charges.

Absolute fucking savagery.
