Cop Shoots, Kills College Student for Speaking Disrespectfully

http://politicalblindspot.com/cop-shoots-kills-college-student-for-speaking-disrespectfully/

As long as there are police officers like corporal Christopher Carter of the University of the Incarnate Word campus police, there will be cause for alarm that freedom and justice in the United States have seriously eroded.

The San Antonio campus cop was placed on paid administrative leave following the shooting of a clearly unarmed and non-combative student. What was the 23-year-old student’s crime? Robert Cameron Redus was shot dead by officer Carter at 2 a.m. for nothing more than making a sarcastic remark toward the officer who pulled him over for speeding..

According to the police report, local KSAT News explains that witnesses affirmed that the cop literally “emptied his gun” into the student without warning.

“I didn’t hear him say anything like, ‘Get down on your hands and knees,’ you know?” one witness explained, “I didn’t hear him say anything. He just started shooting. He emptied the gun on him… Boom, boom, boom.Six shots — five or six.”

Mohammad Haidarasl also witnessed the murder, saying that Redus’ last words were “Oh, you’re gonna shoot me?”

Redus couldn’t believe officer Carter would actually go that far, but Haidarasl added that the cop kept yelling “Stop resisting, stop resisting,” even though it was clear Redus was offering no physical residence, only sarcastic comments.

Haidarasl knew Redus, living right below him. He was “the nicest guy,” Haidarasl said. Other students described him as “kind, intelligent, compassionate and well-loved within the community.” In fact, no one had anything bad to say about him, except for the officer that murdered him in cold blood.

“He was not an aggressive person at all, so the story doesn’t make sense,” one student who wished to remain unnamed said.

Carter has claimed that shortly after he stopped Redus, “a struggle ensued” between himself and the student.

An official statement from the university seemed to support the killer cop, saying that Carter has “an extensive law-enforcement background,” working for “several years” at the school. But the San Antonio Express-News says that he’s only been working there for two-and-a-half years, a relatively short time for any police officer.

In fact, in a short period of time, Carter has come and gone from several law enforcement positions.

What can you do? SPREAD THE WORD! Let people know what kind of POLICE STATE American citizens are facing. Then contact the police department that officer Carter works for and let them know that you DEMAND that he be fired IMMEDIATELY and brought up on criminal charges. Administrative leave will simply not do!

Furthermore, contact the University itself, demand that Carter is fired! This insanity will continue as long as we passively accept it as “the way things are.”

It gets worse

1. The officer was supposed to have a camera mounted on his dashboard, but he claims that the glue didn’t hold because of the cold weather. That’s potentially true, but the camera could have been mounted in a more temporary manner until it could be reglued. The dashboard camera was not optional for the officer, but he seemed to have believed that it was.

2. The officer fired on an unarmed student. He fired six times on that unarmed student. By any standards, this is bizarre.

3. The officer claimed later that the student stole his collapsible baton and attacked him with it. No explanation is given for how the student could have reasonably obtained this without the officer being able to prevent him. The audio of the incident does not state at any time that the baton was stolen, making this merely the unverified claim of the officer.

4. The student had no apparent training with a collapsible baton and would almost certainly not even known how to extend and lock it into extended position.

5. The police officer’s injuries required no medical treatment whatsoever, inconsistent with being attacked by someone wielding a baton.

6. Did the officer have a taser? If so, why was it neither drawn nor deployed? If not, why not? Furthermore, if not equipped with a taser, it would seem there was no intention of the officer performing his duties in a regular law enforcement capacity off campus.

7. An unarmed university honor student is dead.

8. If the officer’s statement about the young man taking the baton is true, at the point that the officer threatened to use lethal force on him, Texas law protected the student and afforded him the right to resist unlawful arrest.

The real fail is that this happens far more often than one can imagine. While I've only ever run into one corrupt cop (broke my tail light then ticketed me) and I know most average cops aren't the enemy in most places, I've also come to realize that "To Protect and Serve" means "To Protect [their salary] and Serve [themselves]". If what you as a citizen needs is in line with that, they'll help you. If you're a means to their goals, they'll be your enemy.

Things are definitely changing in a frightening way... Shooting an honor student is bad enough, but emptying the clip? Something is really, really wrong here. The officer's excuse doesn't hold up either.

I can get past all that, what I find maddening is the action taken against the cop.

Administrative leave.

It speaks to this being an institutional problem, within the police force as a whole, rather than it just being the rare exception to the rule, that cops want you to believe.

Also goes to show, once again, no camera = absolutely no action against cop. Even when said cop commits a murder.

Broke your tail light and then ticketed you. Crazy, and unless you want to face continual harassment and possibly jail, best to move on

Seriously messed up Sig.
