No Charges for Cops Who Killed Darrien Hunt

There will be no charges for the cops who shot Darrien Hunt in the back six times while he fled.
Posecutors in Utah have determined that two police officers were justified in the fatal shooting of 22-year-old Darrien Hunt.
The Saratoga Springs police officers — Cpl. Matt Schauerhamer and Officer Nicholas Judson – shot Hunt six times Sept. 10 after responding to two 911 calls about a man walking with a samurai-style sword along a commercial boulevard.
An autopsy revealed that Hunt, who was carrying a katana sword his family said was used for cosplay, had his back turned to the officers when all six shots were fired.
And of course, the case wouldn't be complete unless it included a cop that had a body camera but turned it off prior to the murder.

this has been a major concern for me, officers manipulating the device positioning themselves to not capture key sections of the complete scene, pulling suspect close to deter focus, deliberate breaking it from off  view finder like swing arm around and hit the camera lens and blaming it on their victim.  as time goes on they will realize other opportunities to deter video.

like the guy from FERGUSON  teen activist and rapper T-DUBB-O said "it's in their heads, no camera or training will resolve that" that is true it's only rendering the camera's and behavior training just a wet band aide, or as stated above simply turn it off, by accident i'm sure.

when will those who keep freeing murderous police recognize they are the problem when one of them is beaten or killed on the side of the freeway?  they say once an animal has tasted blood they want more doesn't matter what color bag it comes in.
