Greensboro (NC) Police Officer Matthew Hamilton was indicted for manslaughter last week for the shooting of Joseph Lopez back in November of 2021. He was also fired and sued. The bodycam footage was just released. Let’s take a look and discuss the relevant law….

Officer Indicted for Manslaughter – Bodycam Video Just Released
So, YT essentially pulled the plug on the virility of this video by age restricting it, despite the fact that the same footage is shown on multiple local TV news channels, and monetized at that. If you want to look at the civil lawsuit complaint, it's posted at the link: https://thecivilrightslawyer.com/2022/06/16/officer-indicted-for-manslaughter-bodycam-video-just-released/
Looks like to me, "Uou were not allowed to allow fear to cause hesitation. We are police, comply instantly or be prepared to die. Know your place peasant!". They forget the protect and Serve aspect. Too many have replaced that notion with "intimate to control". Not just the situation, but the citizens they are intended to IDK "serve"!
Nah, dude must own stuff. Take his property and auction it off to get more money to pay victims.
Aiming for the head is "Intent to kill". The police, like anyone else, are supposed to aim center mass.
I wonder what it is like being a family member, especially a wife, of a pig that do these kinds of things? Do they say, "Good job"?
Hollow point rounds cause extreme unnecessary damage.
Why are police allowed to use them?
Police definitely should not have 'attack dogs'. Maybe they shouldn't have guns or tasers. Maybe the hiring process should be more professional. Maybe their training and supervising should be greatly improved. Maybe many of these shouldn't be "serving and protecting".
I’d say there’s a good debate here of whether the same thing should happen to this piece of shit ex officer Hamilton maybe someone in the community will handle that properly
The war on citizens continues by what appears to be America's Gestapo…
I'm sick and tired of these cops who fuck up and then put on some "act" for the body cam and their buddies. To big of a coward to man up and take responsibility.
Hello, an I mistaken isn't the use of hollowpoints and dumdums elegal and that would change this to murder
Stupid, poorly trained cops are dangerous and murder people just like this. Then try to cover it up, oops they did it again, and again and again
Only a coward would send in a dog.
When you say a cop was "fired", it is too ambiguous. Does that mean he was just forced to leave the current force but is still a licensed cop so he could still be hired by another police department? Or, did he lose his "cop license" and can NEVER be a cop again?
Abolish qualified immunity hold all cops accountable.
Amazing how many people have something I their hand when murdered by the cops.
How much of a threat was the victim to the cop while he was being attracted by a police dog .
What made you decide to become a civil rights lawyer CHEERS FROM CANADA GREAT JOB
Crazy
Fun fact hollow points are outlawed by the Geneva convention in war
I guess they're legal on citizens
Another Cop in prison is a wonderful step towards a Free America. The odds a cop is injured on the job is less than a waitress getting hurt on the job.
I really need to stop watching these videos before bed. The actions of our government and the police piss me off
Notice how the stupid dog can't even stay focused on the "threat", cops are really too dumb to train a dog,
