"Plummer faces charges of discharge of a firearm in a building causing serious impairment, discharge of a firearm in a building causing injury, two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and four counts of felony firearm."

Half way through the article.

Hmm felony fiream would mean it's not a legally owned/registered weapon? If so even if he gets off for the assault, he's still fucked

The officer who shot into a car that was driving away from a house party, killing a 15-year old black kid has been charged with murder.

The footage of the shooting must be really bad.

Google will fight it.

Google complied, kinda

On May 3rd, detective David Lindmann filed an update with the court. It reads:

"On April 27, [Lindmann] was notified by Google Inc. that the results from this search warrant were available via their law enforcement portal. [Lindmann] accessed the records from the portal, and downloaded them. The downloaded digital files were placed onto a disc and secured into property/evidence at the Edina Police Department."

UPDATE: After this story published, Google issued the following statement to City Pages: "We objected to the warrant and significantly narrowed its scope to the point that only one record was produced. We were pleased to resolve this in a way that preserves our users' privacy."

By the way, the verdict just came back Not Guilty on Tulsa Officer Betty Shelby who shot and killed Terrance Crutcher last year.

I always want to believe there's just some bad cops out there acting on their own racist initiative, but they keep. getting. away with it.

[Kaslo]

Interesting fact, a quarter of the jury was Black. The jury wasn't hung either, meaning those Black jurors voted not guilty as well

[Salodin]

Isn't that the one where the guy was super high on PCP bugging out on a highway? Like reaching into his pockets, ignoring orders, then walking away from the drawn officers and reaching into his car?

[Byrthnoth]

Yeah, he was fucked up and probably high on PCP, but they tased him and there was no real reason to shoot him. He basically wasn't violent by any account, just super duper high.

[Salodin]

Oh yeah, one officer tazed him and the other shot him. Wonder how the defense handled that...

pretty sure he didnt reach into his car either, IIRC both of his car windows were up

Pretty sure the doors were wide open, either off the road or on an actual highway in traffic. Like I said, I recall the suspicion that the dude was reallllly high off pcp cause he was just doing some really not smart things in the middle of the road lol.

[chazzyphizzle]

almost certain the doors were not open and the car was in either the middle of the road or near it

[Byrthnoth]

Doors are closed in the post-shot Wikipedia picture.

[Salodin]

It's entirely possible if not most likely as I didn't follow this after the initial reports.

[Kaslo]

Doors were closed, he was on driver's side of car with window half up.

Wasn't a highway, more of a edge of the city 2 lane road.

[Salodin]

Maybe you're from the city, but a lot of rural "highways" are just two lane roads lol. See that shit all the time when I used to go to NC.

I mean I live here, it's literally not a highway.

I mean, I'll check, I don't think its HWY 11...

EDIT: yeah it's TECHINICALLY Hwy 11, but I know it just as 36th Street: https://www.google.com/maps/place/E+...!4d-95.9582224

[Salodin]

Not sure how it matters, unless there's different escalation rules for when you're on a bona fide highway.
