Note also that the cop immediately starts lying/setting his story (He come out like this!) and as soon as the other cop starts to talk to him at the end, he tells him to shut off the body cam. Want to bet that ensuing non-recorded conversation was all about getting their stories straight?

Some good news for you anti-police folks:
Insurers force change on police departments long resistant to it

The high cost of settlements over police misconduct has led insurers to demand police departments overhaul tactics or forgo coverage.

Where community activists, use-of-force victims and city officials have failed to persuade police departments to change dangerous and sometimes deadly policing practices, insurers are successfully dictating changes to tactics and policies, mostly at small to medium-size departments throughout the nation.

The movement is driven by the increasingly large jury awards and settlements that cities and their insurers are paying in police use-of-force cases, especially since the 2020 deaths of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. Those cases led to settlements of $12 million and $27 million, respectively. Insurance companies are passing the costs — and potential future costs — on to their law enforcement clients.

Larger law enforcement agencies — like the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department or the New York Police Department — handle it in different ways, often by creating a special fund to finance settlements or by paying those costs from the county’s or city’s general fund. This insulates them from external demands by insurers.

Departments with a long history of large civil rights settlements have seen their insurance rates shoot up by 200 to 400 percent over the past three years, according to insurance industry and police experts.

How the LAPD spins this video:
On July 21, 2022, at 7:00 p.m., Foothill Division uniformed Gang Enforcement Detail (GED) Officers were conducting patrol in the area of 7800 Radford Avenue, officers observed a known gang member exiting the passenger side of a parked vehicle in the front driveway of a residence in the 7000 Radford Avenue. The suspect was later identified as 37-year-old Ramon Mosqueda, a resident of Los Angeles. When officers attempted to conduct a pedestrian stop on Mosqueda, he appeared to be holding a 'firearm'. An Officer-Involved-Shooting (OIS) occurred, Mosqueda fled through the side yard of the residence to an unknown location.
How I would describe it:
On July 21, 2022, at 7:00 p.m., uniformed gang members were conducting patrol in the area of 7800 Radford Avenue. They observed a rival gang member exiting the passenger side of a parked vehicle in the front driveway of a residence in the 7000 Radford Avenue, so they attempted to murder that person via a drive-by shooting without announcing they were police, without giving any warnings or instructions, and without even fully stopping their SUV. The attempted-murder victim, who was later identified as 37-year-old Ramon Mosqueda, a resident of Los Angeles, survived the murder attempt.

Chicago police initially claimed they opened fire on a group of men standing on a sidewalk after one of the men started shooting at them first, making them fear for their lives.

But that story fell apart after prosecutors viewed a surveillance video contradicting their claims, showing the two plainclothes cops shooting an unarmed 23-year-old man from their unmarked car.

Now Christopher Liakopoulos, a sergeant, and Ruben Reynoso are facing 30 years in prison after they were charged with several felonies last week, including aggravated battery with a firearm, aggravated discharge of a firearm and official misconduct, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

FBI misled judge who signed warrant for Beverly Hills seizure of $86 million in cash
https://www.latimes.com/california/stor ... ture-judge
The privacy invasion was vast when FBI agents drilled and pried their way into 1,400 safe-deposit boxes at the U.S. Private Vaults store in Beverly Hills.

They rummaged through personal belongings of a jazz saxophone player, an interior designer, a retired doctor, a flooring contractor, two Century City lawyers and hundreds of others.

Agents took photos and videos of pay stubs, password lists, credit cards, a prenuptial agreement, immigration and vaccination records, bank statements, heirlooms and a will, court records show. In one box, agents found cremated human remains.

Eighteen months later, newly unsealed court documents show that the FBI and U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles got their warrant for that raid by misleading the judge who approved it.

They omitted from their warrant request a central part of the FBI’s plan: Permanent confiscation of everything inside every box containing at least $5,000 in cash or goods, a senior FBI agent recently testified.

The FBI’s justification for the dragnet forfeiture was its presumption that hundreds of unknown box holders were all storing assets somehow tied to unknown crimes, court records show.

It took five days for scores of agents to fill their evidence bags with the bounty: More than $86 million in cash and a bonanza of gold, silver, rare coins, gem-studded jewelry and enough Rolex and Cartier watches to stock a boutique.

The U.S. attorney’s office has tried to block public disclosure of court papers that laid bare the government’s deception, but a judge rejected its request to keep them under seal.

The failure to disclose the confiscation plan in the warrant request came to light in FBI documents and depositions of agents in a class-action lawsuit by box holders who say the raid violated their rights.

The court filings also show that federal agents defied restrictions that U.S. Magistrate Judge Steve Kim set in the warrant by searching through box holders’ belongings for evidence of crimes.

“The government did not know what was in those boxes, who owned them, or what, if anything, those people had done,” Robert Frommer, a lawyer who represents nearly 400 box holders in the class-action case, wrote in court papers.

“That’s why the warrant application did not even attempt to argue there was probable cause to seize and forfeit box renters’ property.”

San Berdoo Sheriff's Dept is claiming the teenager was engaged in the firefight during the standoff portion of the festivities, as in she returned fire against the police at at least one point. They don't cite any evidence to support this claim, and note the matter has been referred to the CA DoJ for investigation and further public comment will be coming from them.

If true, that potentially casts the whole kidnap in a very different light. It doesn't really change the fact that the guy murdered the ex-wife/mom lady at the outset, but it could set the teen up as more of an accomplice than a victim. Accomplice maybe isn't the right word....... participant? But "If true" is doing some heavy lifting there right now.

That's what I read too. And also that only one gun was recovered from the scene. I guess she and her dad were passing it back and forth.

Unless there is video confirming the assertions of the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department that the teenager was actively shooting back, I'm going to assume that's a CYA lie. Because police get caught lying about stuff like that all of the time. The cops: "He had a gun!" The video: No, he didn't. The cops: "Our officers were taking fire!" The video: The police shot first.

I mean, geez, look how the Chicago cops were trying to lie in my post farther up on this page about the shooting they conducted. They claimed they were shot at. Oopsie, they didn't realize that a security cam caught what happened, and it clearly showed them shooting first. If there weren't body cams, the cops in Colorado would probably be trying to claim that the woman somehow pushed the cop car onto the train tracks and then jumped inside.

Yeah, that was the initial account. Subsequently they claimed she was returning fire at one point, but they never clarified when in the engagement she was to have fired (there were apparently vehicle-to-vehicle shots exchanged before the standoff). Either way, it marked a very different change of facts that wouldn't have (or rather shouldn't have) been a 'fog of war' thing, and honestly doesn't necessarily change things from the SBSD perspective. I mean it might, but not necessarily.

I'm also skeptical of their revised version of the story pending evidentiary substantiation.

Is it really a twist when the cops were likely lying in the first place?

A police officer is caught driving an ATV on a public road (illegal) while drunk (illegal) and armed (illegal while drunk). The cop who pulled the drunk cop over did arrest him, but he stated that he was going to "do his job" and arrest only because of "these body cams and everything." The obvious implication being, of course, that without the cameras, the arresting cop would have let the drunk cop go.

Seems like the issues with cops being given 4th and 5th chances in other precincts extends to the prison system as well:

San Antonio police officer fired after shooting teen suspect in McDonald's parking lot
https://www.sacurrent.com/news/san-anto ... t-30019308
A San Antonio police officer who shot and wounded a teenager Sunday in a McDonald's parking lot has been fired after newly released body-cam footage appeared to contradict the cop's initial report, MySA reports.

SAPD rookie James Brennand initially said he fired his weapon after the teen suspect struck him with his vehicle, according to police reports obtained by MySA. However, body-cam footage posted by the department appears the teen, who's recovering in hospital, never struck the officer.

SAPD announced Brennad's firing in a news release shared Wednesday, the news site reports.

Brennand, a probationary officer with seven months on the force, was at a McDonald's in the 11700 block of Blanco Road for an unrelated call when he thought he recognized a vehicle in the parking lot that allegedly evaded him during a pursuit the night before, according to MySA.

Brennand initially said in an incident report that he fired at the vehicle after he was struck by the driver who was trying to evade capture, the news site reports. However, raw body cam footage released by SAPD on Wednesday appears to contradict those claims.

As seen in the footage, the rookie officer approaches the car and opens the driver's side door, where he finds a teenager eating a burger. Brennand orders the youth out of the vehicle. The teenager puts his hands on the steering wheel and responds to the officer's request by asking, "Why?" A scuffle then ensues.

The teen driver, whose identity hasn't been made public, puts his vehicle in reverse while the officer shoots five times. Brennand then radios "shots fired" before shooting at the car another five times.

In the clip, it doesn't appear that the vehicle ever struck Brennand.

The vehicle and its driver were later found down the road, and the victim was taken to University Hospital in critical condition, MySA reports.



So a cop walks up to a car the "thinks he recognizes," yanks open the door, and demands the driver get out. When the teen driver (who was completely innocent) backs the car up and drives off, the cop dumps 10 rounds into the vehicle, and then lies and says that the car struck him.
