    Police really do these kinds of things all the time. It's so sad but the gunshot wounds tell you everything you need to know. This officer was shooting at this young man while his back was to him, probably trying to get away from the initial shooting as well as the officer. Some officer in plain clothes starts shooting at you, you have no idea if he even is a cop. It could easily be someone apart of the initial shooting. I just find it disgraceful that these situations happen and you don't see the officer being charged. Absolutely disgusting but this is the reality of police in this country. RIP Fred Cox, you deserved so much better

    I live near High Point. I almost rented a house there. Anything I could afford were in seedy areas. I was nope, no thank you. High Point has been mentioned in some documentaries on gangs. When the furniture market comes it is huge. People will rent out their own homes for attendees and stay somewhere else. High Point also used to have drag boat racing at Oak Hollow lake. It was a huge event. So it is sad to see the decline of the area. The mall there is practically dead. But then there is the juxtaposition of High Point University, which has a beautiful campus. It is surrounded by a tall wrought iron fence. It was just ranked as one of the top schools. But then 3 streets over it's a crime zone

    These types of cases make me extremely angry. It's heartbreaking for the friends and families to go through something so traumatic, with absolutely NO closure, justice, or peace of mind. They're robbed of that, and of their faith (given they have any) in the system. Fred would've been sitting in jail awaiting trial if the tables were turned. It's a disgrace to let these officers go free without any true consequences.

    Somehow, this cycle of violence has got to be broken. I don't live in the States, but I read and hear these stories all the time, and they break my heart. Somehow, the cycles of poverty, hopelessness, and violence that drive kids into these gangs need to stop, and somehow, someone needs to keep guns out of their hands before they have a chance to become teenage killers or teenage statistics. If it's heartbreaking to watch from a distance, then I can't imagine what it's like to be living with it every day. Someone needs to be giving these kids hope that their lives are worth more than what a gang can give them. I wish I knew how.

      It’s called voting to change systemic racism. For those of us in the states that can vote, anyway. Housing segregation and discrimination is a direct result of and simultaneously a cause of poverty continuing. Poverty, especially when it’s multigenerational, leads to crime. When a specific group of people don’t have the ability to compound wealth in one generation much less multiple, they don’t benefit from things like inheritance like the middle and upper class does, and they don’t have the ability to escape said poverty. But education and discourse on those subjects is mostly within the academic sphere, despite what the far right likes to assume/push. The majority of people in this country are extremely ignorant of how continued socioeconomic discrimination fuels crime stats, and that includes many moderates and democrat voters.

      @@njwpoo666most people are not doing that many charitable acts. The majority of people are just minding their own business and not intervening when awful shit does happen near us and in our own neighborhoods. People expect to be rewarded and praised for doing what is just normal and right, when that should just be the bare minimum.

      @@Tsumami__ Wow, you just nailed it. We're dealing with similar issues of multi-generational trauma, poverty, and violence with the Indigenous people of my country, and so much of it is the same story. When a certain part of the population has been systematically brutalised for hundreds of years, not even treated as human, and a large segment of society won't even recognise either that it happened, or that it has a current, lasting effect on those people, what can you do? I work with a lot of Indigenous people individually, as part of the government funded mental health treatment centre I'm part of, and their stories are so often so sad and similar. I'm trying to do my part on a case by case basis, by helping individuals to become more mentally and emotionally stable and resilient, and to deal with substance abuse issues, but there's so much more that's needed, starting at a basic standard of living. Nobody in a rich country should be going hungry, or without at least a basic place to live, especially children. But people just accept it. If we as a society want this violence to stop, then this level of extreme poverty among the most vulnerable needs to stop.

    I wonder if they’ll just leave it as an “unsolved homicide” forever, or if the coroner will be forced to change the manner of death to undetermined or accidental? If they leave it as homicide-it will most definitely remained unresolved. Also, grand juries only have evidence presented for the prosecution typically. Which is obviously biased-hence the saying “you could indict a ham sandwich.” Bc it’s so easy to indict anyone. They didn’t WANT to indict the officer, simple as that! Biased? Absolutely! There’s no justice here!

  • @patrickfaulds5683
    @patrickfaulds5683 7 месяцев назад +2

    As someone who has written up and overseen autopsy reports cursive should never be used. Reports, and specifically body diagrams like the one shown, should be clear enough that anyone can read them as they will often be used in court proceedings and may need to be read by lawyers, judges, jurors etc. Unfortunately many times this isn't adhered to and we end up with a page full of indecipherable scribbles. For what it's worth, I'd hazard a guess that the "S" marked below the knee that John thought may have been indicating another wound was probably marking a scar unrelated to the incident. It's common practice to note any scars or unrelated injuries on the body so that there is no confusion caused by them later.

    .223 is a big boy round actually. Ar15 and m16 rifles are usually .223 or .556..... And a .556 rifle can use both interchangeably. But a .223 specific rifle can only take the pressure load of a .223. Its basucally the same bullet size of a .22 long but is a full metal jacket bullet with a point that travels at insanely high velocity, usually in the idea that it can defeat body armor. Small cal plus high velocity = penetration power.

I feel like he say Fred and in his capacity reacted, like any law enforcement officer would do. This is a gang saturated area, gang related funeral and Fred had gang filiations.

    Releasing balloons is very bad for the environment. Not that anyone cares.
    If Fred was running toward a police officer with a gun in his hand and raising it, it is on him. All this Fred was a Saint stuff is ridiculous.
    A very large amount of occupations will let you resign rather than have your 'sin' come out, and it could be as simple as interoffice dating. This is no different.

    Here in Australia our gun laws are very strict. Legal gun ownership is extremely strict. Of course we do have guns owned illegally by some people. But we generally agree that our gun laws have helped us avoid the terrible outcomes that our cousins in the USA see SO often from gun violence. Please please USA - review your gun laws. Try to stem the tide of violence.

    Regarding your questions about if the young man did have a legal gun, wouldn't it be expected for him to fire back at a car from which shots were fired: The answer is a big NO. Even if someone has the legal right to carry, we are forbidden from firing recklessly, which in the context of the chaos of a driveway attack, that would have definitely been reckless. A person who has a concealed carry permit may only defend oneself or another individual personally, and the person is absolutely liable for anything that goes wrong if that gun gets fired. I hope I explained that well, but I feel like I didn't. CCW owners get sued and charged all the time for firing shots where they felt it was self-defense but the law says no. Hand guns do not have the long-range accuracy of a rifle, and it would have been incredibly negligent for somebody to fire at a car through chaos and a crowd.
