On September 10, 22-year-old Darrien Hunt was shot six times in the back and killed by two police officers in Saratoga Springs, Utah. New evidence proves that police have told at least two huge lies (and maybe another) in their attempt to justify the shooting. What follows is an account of those lies.Lie #1: As the first officer exited his vehicle, Darrien Hunt lunged at him with his sword.
Detectives and medical examiners are consistently among the first officials on the scene of a police-involved shooting death. Their initial reports are particularly valuable because they regularly have the earliest documented statements from the officers involved in the shooting. As late as six days after the shooting death of Darrien Hunt, the police admitted that they had not even interviewed the officers involved yet, giving them ample time to prepare their stories. Similarly, the earliest known statement we have about the shooting death of Missouri teenager Mike Brown on August 9 in Ferguson came from a detective and was included in the autopsy report. It is inconsistent with later stories purported to be from Officer Darren Wilson.
In the newly released autopsy report in the shooting death of Darrien Hunt, it states the earliest known account of the police perspective as follows:
The first officer exited his vehicle and the subject charged him swinging the sword. Three shots were fired (at Hunt) upon the initial contact.
This photo alone, taken by bystander Jocelyn Hansen, contradicts that story and proves that both officers had exited their vehicle and were talking to Hunt.
Lie #2. Police claimed Hunt took acid and was on drugs but his toxicology report came back negative for all drugs and alcohol.
In apparent attempt to smear Hunt, police made a strange and absurd claim in their report, which states the following:
"(Hunt) apparently liked hallucinogens and had taken acid approximately three weeks (prior to the shooting)."
However, when the state toxicology report came back, it proved that Hunt was not under the influence of any drugs whatsoever—making the police statement about Hunt being on drugs seem like an absurd attempt to justify the shooting.
just to give you a idea of how police kill then get ample time to get their lies straight, with a paid vacation from their dept.
you know things like this will continue because now we have a majority in both houses that actually support this kind of policing and make it with their laws easy for them as well as a citizen get away with it stand your ground for their civilian murderers and paid vacation and exoneration for the lawless police.
there must be a civilian review board with more than the power of suggestion IAB obviously is a failure at investigating their own, TV portrays the as the hated rat finks but in all the last reported shootings we hear investigation but it might as well be on a tropic isle when you beat a murder and get to vacation while you get time to make your lie whith the blue wall at your back and the city officials backing up the wall and ssomeone's dead and all are getting paid and still have jobs.
