Cop shoots dead naked, unarmed, man.

Apparently the dead man was acting erratically

Dude, he was black. What else do we need? If people think cops can't go around shooting black guys whenever they want, what's the point of having cops?

 

[Dr.3D]

Well, if he was already dead, that means they didn't kill him.

Okay. I missed this part of the story the first time through.

Dekalb County police has already faced protests after an officer shot dead a black man who had called 911 when his girlfriend was stabbed by an attacker in his apartment late last year, according to local media.


Okay. This is where I get mad at the #blacklivesmatter useful idiots. The pic the wrong people to go national with! Mike freaking Brown becomes a household name but I don't know the name of this guy that got shot after calling the cops to help his girlfriend who was stabbed?

Don't forget Trayvon!
I thought this was well established already: guys like John Crawford don't get shit, because they aren't doing anything wrong.
The media is straight-up, old skool racist. Because Michael Brown and Trayvon (going all the way back to Mumia) get canonized, and the hundreds of thousands of times blacks get profiled, branded, registered, chewed up and spat out by the system gets zilch. Nothing.

DeKalb officer indicted in shooting death of unarmed civilian

A DeKalb County police officer was indicted for murder Thursday in the March 2015 fatal shooting of an unarmed and naked civilian.

District Attorney Robert James said Thursday night that an arrest warrant has been issued for Officer Robert Olsen and that Olsen will be taken into custody.

Olsen, who shot Anthony Hill, 27, after Hill approached him outside a Chamblee apartment complex, was formally charged with two counts of felony murder, one count of aggravated assault, two counts of violating his oath of office and one count of making a false statement, James said.

Olsen becomes the first Georgia law enforcement officer in more than five years to face prosecution in the shooting death of a civilian. Since 2010, Georgia police have been involved in 187 fatal shootings, according to an investigation by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Channel 2 Action News. Olsen is just the second officer to be indicted; in the first such case the district attorney dismissed the charge the next day.

Olsen was dispatched to the Chamblee Heights apartments after a neighbor called 911 to express concern about Hill’s welfare. The Afghanistan war veteran had stripped naked – possibly a reaction to medication he was taking for bipolar disorder, diagnosed while he was still in the Air Force, family members told the AJC – but there were no reports that he was harming or threatening any of his neighbors.

Lets hope the district attorney doesn't dismiss this charge the next day.

Shooting naked people is a little bit harder to cover up.

It is so much easier to say, "I saw him reach under his waist for something." "I saw him reach for an object in his pockets." "There was a shiny object around his waste (nevermind it was a belt buckle)" And so on.



It doesn't sound as dangerous when a naked man "lunged" at me....Armed with what? His johnson?

 

[SeanTX]

This is something interesting I found in another article about this case -- it sounds like an intimidation tactic. It looks like this grand jury refused to be swayed by his presence (if he showed up).

Georgia law gives police officers the right to sit in the Grand Jury room and hear all evidence and testimony. Olsen also had the right to make a statement, under oath.

And partly as a result, Grand Juries in Georgia usually side with the police officers. Police officers in Georgia are almost never prosecuted.

Is walking around nude in Georgia a criminal offence? What about driving around nude in Georgia, is that a criminal offence?
How about killing a nude person in Georgia, is that a criminal offence? Apparently NOT!

From the sound of this, the man wasn't even trying to be "naked", but was nude due to the circumstances.

There is no good reason for an armed man to shoot an unarmed man. Period.

There wasn't a full body cavity search performed on the man. He could have literally pulled a gun out of his ass.

I walk the world unarmed.

All Civilians are created equal, but some are more equal than others.

“In 129 years since police and fire commissions were created in the state of Wisconsin, we could not find a single ruling by a police department, an inquest, or a police commission that a shooting was unjustified.” Michael Bell wrote in a piece for Politico last year.

Ya, that's good. That shows they never commit unjustified shootings, doesn't it?? So what's the problem? Move along...

If they come to my home and break in during the night they will find me naked too... I do have something for them though...

Well, they would find me nude, I'm never naked.
