They already had the kids DNA?The punk left a cigarette butt in the cup holder. The police ran a DNA test on it to snag the kid. I couldn't believe they'd waste resources on such an expensive test just to catch a petty theif.
It's not just our neighborhood, the whole town is like that. The wild wild west.Sound like you need to move to a safer area! ...
Damn, glad I live in the boondocks. :sad2:It's not just our neighborhood, the whole town is like that. The wild wild west.
Yes, it was on the cigarette butt, they framed him. lolThey already had the kids DNA?
Yup. He'd already been convicted of another burglary charge, and was on probation. They knew who he was based on my video, but couldn't prove it was him. Once the DNA results came in (8 months later), the busted him. Was working at a local Walmart as a stocker. Guess there's a reason most places don't hire convicts...They already had the kids DNA?
If a police officer caught him in the act and shot him, the headline would of said he was a teenager.
Vosmont - thank you again for a great addition to the VERA community. If it hadn't been for your plug in, I would have returned the bulb.
Is there any way for users to add to the pallet of animations? For example, strobing green, yellow, orange, etc - or having it alternate between various colors (like the current LPD)? I opened the lua animation file in an editor and see the scripting - but it's so far over my head, I know I'd crash computers within 5 miles if I attempted to change anything.
As I write this, my light just started pulsating blue since the mail carrier deposited my mail in my box at the street. I'd love to do the same with all colors to signify other events (like gate opening, doorbell ringing, motion detected in area XYZ, etc).
Hate to even ask given how grateful I am - but if one doesn't ask... one will never know...
The clip of the incident doesn't tell the whole story.Just as an example, watch this video in a NYC target. Apparently, a customer was asked to provide ID, and after refusing to do so, was taken down by police.
What gets me is the morons who see four or five officers struggling to subdue a violent arrested person and shout that four onto one isn't fair, to which I reply "this isn't a bloody street fight". Same with the idiots who see male officers struggling with a drunken violent woman and start ranting about how "you should never lay your hands on a woman".The clip of the incident doesn't tell the whole story.
You may have missed the part where Alando Brissett's erratic behavior the day before alarmed the Target employees, his demanding a receipt that the store does not provide and subsequent refusal to leave the property after being asked repeatedly (trespass).
His flailing his arms (resisting arrest) at the officers trying to make the initial arrest is what led to the use of force.
Multiple officers attempting to subdue the suspect is the safe way to do it (4 were on the ground with the suspect).
Having back up to handle crowd control is even better.
This prevents further escalation by the lawless and ignorant with fewer people getting hurt.
Anyone who thinks subduing another human being is easy hasn't done much of it.
