The citizens for the uprightusa.org alliance resembles this official abuse! Regarding the made up police vodeo - Show a lie enough times, and people will begin to accept it. (Hitler gained support by doing this too.) Otherwise, why else would the police obstruct justice and taint the jury pool at the same time if they were not trying to hide something? Email me (aaronwemple@gmail.com) for a civil rights lawsuit that all of us should file, and everyone can file themselves in order to straighten the whole system out.

Ok so I was thinking maybe he tried to shoot the cuffs off but clearly that wasnt the case. Maybe he did kill himself but that doesnt make the cop innocent. If he had been doing his job and properly searched the guy then maybe he would have found the gun. Not only did the cop put himself at risk but other citizens at risk too. Reguardless JPD should still be taking some of the blame for this.

If there were a dashcam video supporting the cops version of reality it would be played over and over again.

Handcuffs are NEVER that loose. Cops lying to defend the action of rogue cops will only cause cops to be murdered. The people who made this video should do jail time as accomplices. The Jonesboro police chief needs to pull his head out. And cops applauding this cover-up need to rethink...you are putting yourself and your "brothers" in the line of fire. I would never shoot at a cop. But I won't cry when bad ones are taken down for stepping outside the law, like someone clearly has here.

When the dash cam footage reveals that he did in fact shoot himself, what will they say then? Oh, the video is doctored, the witness are in on it. And gunpowder residue on his hands? How'd that get there.

Just because you can be denied employment as a cop because of a high IQ does not mean the rest of the country is as intellectually challenged as you and your officers are Yates. http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=95836&page=1#.TwC7qoHwOKV
