I'm not willing to take some blogger's word for it. If these allegations are true the real news people will have the story, along with documentation.
 
Regarding the 'broken tail light': Some photos show both tail lights lit. Ok. But the reported reason for stopping the car was a 'broken' light, not a 'light not working'. You can have a cracked lens and the light will still work. If a cop wants to be a real bastard, he can give you a summons for a cracked lens.

Was that the case here? Got me. Just wanted to point that out. Semantics.

Not to mention what a cop says he pulls you over for and reality can be two different things. I know I was once pulled over for a tag light being out but the reality was I was leaving a bar at 2am and he just wanted to do a dui stop. He even wrote me a inspection ticket for it after I showed him it was working.

But you are willing to take HER word for it 100%? Huh? Without any evidence to support her claims?

That would be a normal reaction for most of us, but the video shows the cop telling her to leave her hands in sight, not to move. She complies. Had she attempted to help, the cop could have easily thought she was going for the gun and shot her too. I'm sure she undertood that.

I agree she is WAY too calm. Anyone else would have been screaming, crying, inconsolable. Something is very wrong with that. Hate to say this, but the thought crossed my mind: what if this was staged. What if it was suicide by cop just to add fuel to the BLM movement? If she was in on it and expected it, her reaction would be more plausible.
This has been nagging me since I first saw it, as well.

That is *not* a normal action to take in this type of situation. At all. Even in the YouTube generation, I would think.

That and I doubt shed admit that they were pulled over because THEY met thebdescriptions of two armed robbers.. that just doesnt fit the narrative.

But 'they' didn't. The suspects were two black men, not a man and a woman. Plus the description he did meet, shoulder length dreads and a wide set nose, would apply to an awful lot of black men.

I think that 'reason' to pull them over fits the narrative even better.

At this point I'm willing to go with what the video shows. I may change my mind given other information, but it's not going to come from some durhard anonymous blogger who doesn't know their ass from a hole in the ground..

The fact that she was not screaming in hysteria after witnessing her bf shot dead by cops is all I need to know. That is not normal. Period.

That is your perspective. I wouldn't be screaming in hysteria, and Kwillia has said she wouldn't be either. Not everyone is hysterical in an emergency.

I don't know about being hysterical, as I would be more concerned about staying calm for my child's sake, but I don't relate at all to videotaping it all seconds after he was shot. I would still be more concerned about getting my child to someplace that he wouldn't be witnessing any *more trauma. Then again, I don't/cannot relate to her at all, so that is definitely coloring my opinion of how she reacted.

I'm not sure I'd have had presence of mind to do that, but I can see why she would have in light of all the racial strife and shootings recently. If things are as they seem, it was the smart thing to do.
