it was hard to hear on s/stack's video - but allegedly when an officer was asked his name, he said officer f??? you/off - or something like that. he was pulled off the line shortly after that.

although inappropriate, i can totally understand all the simmering rage they must have taking all this verbal abuse.

NO! I watched it! That was the rioters, trying to get LE riled up! MJ, correct me if I am wrong? That was a close up LIVE VIDEO shot.

 

[Tulessa]

I'll re-watch later, but I never heard nor seen LE cursing. And I watched it full screen.

i wonder if his g/friend will corroborate l/e's explanation. apparently they're still looking for the guy he was with

The nearly two-minute clip shows two young men leaving the store at about the time a police car rolls up. The officer gets out and speaks with them. About a minute-and-a-half later, the video appears to show one of the men raising his arm, though what he is holding is difficult to see because they were several feet from the camera. Belmar said it was a 9mm handgun.

The other man ran away, and police are searching for him.

I honestly can't see the video well, I can barely make out what is going on, where the victim raised his arm.

T, it was reported on page one of this thread that an officer said "My name is officer go ef yourself". I cannot verify this, as I was not watching the livestream.

News conference on MSNBC now.

The one we watched live was excellent quality, and very clear, in language and video.

Good morning, first I will make a statement and then we will take any questions that you would addresss to the incident.

Let me give condolence to Martin family. We cannot know how that mother and grandmother is feeling today losing an 18 yr old who was just beginning his life.

We need to put our arms around the LEO to make sure he has what he needs to get through this. Don't know if you have ever had to take someones life before.

We will hold his name and the LEO name until the investigation is completed. It will be a thorough investigation in reference to this.

reviewed video of incident.

What I saw is not what people portrayed. This was no officer going out half cocked. You cannot compare this with ferguson or the gardner case in NY. I can assure that what is on the video.


Our overall goal is to project the truth to our residents. First thing that occurred last night was "white guy killing a black man." That was not the case. We had a policeman protecting the city.

Deceased pointed a gun, which was recovered at the scene, at the officer.

City and county will both be investigating.

[ETA the above is paraphrasing of what I heard as the presser was live. It is not direct quotes and should not be taken as such]

Because of quick response in city of Berkley we might not have the Qwik Trip anymore (referring to large crowd, unrest after shooting and response by LE)

I was following on page one. I didn't hear anything but an African American, saying LE said an officer told him to go eff yourself. Again, I never heard an LE cursing. JMO of course. I have yet to hear cursing from LE. I couldn't watch chat,on the MSN link, due to cursing

 

[Tulessa]

And I'm not a goody two shoes. I just have Morales.

 

[Tulessa]

One correction, then I'll hush. MJ was correct. There was 4 *tazing's* Three the first time, then one more later. The video I watched is no longer good quality.

I didn't see it live. Is there somewhere to see that? I only saw the gas station video.

guess i got snookered by s/stack:blushing:. the only thing that made me think it was true was that the l/e was removed from the line, iirc - wil have to go back & watch - but, thanks!

 

[Tulessa]

Did I miss it??? The conference?

Please do. I may have missed it, but don't think so. I don't want to post inappropriately!

And I'm not awake enough, to watch it.

Not that I can find. The one posted above was horrible.
