Man Claims Police ‘Beat Him To Death’ Then Video Footage Is Released | Law Officer

A family in Rainbow City (AL) saying that their loved one was abused, tased and thrown off a bridge Thursday night after a traffic stop now sees the camera footage disputing all of it and it was released by by the police department.

The family claims that police “beat him to death.”

In response to those allegations, Rainbow City Police released 30 minutes worth of body camera footage showing the man jumping off the bridge onto the rocks below.

Chief Jonathon Horton posted the following statement on the department’s Facebook page late Friday night in response to the abuse claims:

In response to the “Social Media Craze” and false allegations that Rainbow City Police Officers would mistreat any citizen (Law abiding or Suspect) I have uploaded this video to discredit the horrendous allegations that on July 13, 2017 that Rainbow City Police threw anyone from a bridge on Black Creek Parkway or in any way did anything other than carry out our duties to the extent of rendering what aid we could to a fleeing suspect.

 

It will be fine

Sounds like a good endorsement of body cameras.

My daughter and son in law are both LEO's and the body cameras have worked in their favor. There language and attitude has definitely improved with all their fellow workers. Not so with many of the people they deal with. My daughter says when someone is belligerent and abusive she reminds them they are being taped and they keep right on going. So ends a lot of lying in court.

Whats the point of body cameras if the cops can just switch them off? Here we have an unarmed women in her pjs talking to a cop, when the other cop decides to shoot and kill her. And guess what, their body cameras were both off. Now its 2 cops word against a dead woman's word.

This has to be an accidental killing. There cant be any reasonable reason for the cop to say, "I feared for my life." Either way the cop will wont be punished. So the reason doesn't matter anyways. They should hire more combat vets. Vets are less likely to be scared at the sight of a gun, black person or a pretty white woman in her pjs.

He shot her thru the vehicle's door while he sat in the passenger's seat as she was talking to the driver.

The Minneapolis cop who shot and killed a 40-year-old woman after she called 9-1-1 to report a possible crime near her home was identified Monday as the precinct’s first Somali-American officer — Mohamed Noor.

Noor has only been a police officer for two years and has already been sued for alleged unprofessional behavior. The May 2017 lawsuit also involved a female and accusations of brutality.

Noor, 31, was born in Somalia.

KSTP, citing a source with direct knowledge of the shooting, reported that Noor was sitting in the passenger seat of the squad car at the time of the shooting and “shot across his partner” at Damond, who approached the officers’ car in her pajamas and began talking to the officer in the driver’s seat.

“This is a very bizarre story,” Debra Anderson, chair of ACT For America’s Minnesota chapter and a resident of Minneapolis. “How could a women in pajamas possibly be perceived as a threat, on the opposite side of the car, no less?

Came here hoping someone had posted about this. Imagine walking up to a police car trying to point the officers in the right direction (we white folks do it all the time). For one it's business as usual, and the other just blasts you in the face out of nowhere. So :censored2:ed up. The officer in the driver's seat must have been shocked out of his mind. And that woman is gone forever.
