We are the Law...firing squad at 5am

[Long_Hunter]

Anybody else seen this...just freaking appalling.

Shot in the door of his camper...watch the video with the sound turned up at the NC Renegade link. Sherriff's reports states the man "engaged in a verbal altercation" and "emerged from the camper", then they shot the unarmed man in the gut.

Firing Squad at 5 AM

In the early morning hours of December 13th, 2022, officers from the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Department obtained a search warrant for a residence in Bear Paw, NC after a disturbance call ma…

What, there were too scared to knock? WTH? Cowards with guns and authority are dangerous.

 

[Exspiravit]

Dang. Just kept shooting after he hits the floor too. Must have been going for his roommate there as well.

I bet their excuse will be they thought his flashlight was a weapon light.

 

[Tailhunter]

Chicken 💩swat team.

 

[Ferrisfan]

engaged in a verbal altercation with officers and emerged from a camper trailer and confronted officers

I guess they didn't know there would be video footage showing none of that happened.

 

[RFMan]

"forced" to shoot him? Way to set the narrative Looked like he had his hands up, though it's hard to tell.

 

[Flashpoint]

"We just want to talk to you, step outside" 😡 😡😡

Looked like he had his hands up to me, and his "flashlight" was the robot they threw in his home.

 

[JohnnyTyler]

He was just trying to give them their toy back and they shot him? Where was the verbal altercation? There were 3 seconds between the door opening and the first shots.

Correct he didn't "confront" anyone. He was dong exactly what they told him to do. If he was black the country would be burning by tonight. This won't even make the headlines.

 

[Tim]

Holy crap.

Qualified immunity needs to go away.

 

[HDscrambler]

Said in the article they were there for a possible hostage situation? Don’t get that, they was both asleep. Could possibly be the best compliance I’ve seen and still got shot?

 

[willpgn]

So sorry we added extra holes in ya…you assaulted our tiny robot officer and we saw a “gun”…

 

[NCLivingBrit]

If any sort of police raid is a death sentence for the person being raided, why on earth would you comply at all?

I'd rather be cremated with my fallen foemen in the ashes of my home if I'm going to go.

WOW.

 

[Cowboy]

Qualified immunity only goes so far. There will be lots of criminal charges in this case would be my guess.

And one hell of a civil suit

 

[ChickenHawk]

"The post says Kloepfer is charged with communicating threats and resist, obstruct, and delay, and that more charges may follow."

I didn't see any of that in the video. I'll believe charges when I see them. The media is already carrying eater for the LEOs.

 

[Tailhunter]

Obstruct and delay …. He was asleep.

 

[Tailhunter]

Ps …
They knew that too because of their freaking robotic BS toy.

 

[fishgutzy]

"We all thought he had a gun because we don't know what our own effing robot looks like."
Total over reaction for a "disturbance." Dude is lucky to be alive. So is the woman.

 

[GymB]

Not the victim’s fault, police should have done better, but the guy did himself no favors having anything in his hands.

The media hasn't done anything more that give the press release. It's the advantage that can go both ways. He needs a big firm unaffected by local politics. The way I see it is anyone involved with this situation and cover up with face prosecution.

 

[Desron23]

I wish I could honestly say that this is unbelievable
1 or 2 shots is a mistake. Not this

 

[JohnnyTyler]

Ps …

That's the first thing I thought. They threw this thing in there with a camera on it so they knew he had picked it up.

We'll see. I have zero confidence in the system anymore especially for a white guy that the media won't care about and people won't riot over.

 

[Button Pusher]

"Do you have a warrant"?

 

[Flashpoint]

I typically give the LEO's the benefit of the doubt, and before I saw that video I expected to have the opinion of "we don't have all the facts yet". But damn, it's pretty f'n obvious what happened there.

 

[DBplinker]

Wow. Outrageous. Completely unacceptable and there should be charges against every one of the cops who fired a shot. The video is very powerful evidence that it was a horrible shoot.

The other person in the camper is extremely lucky that none of those bullets hit her.

 

[NCLivingBrit]

Maybe we need to loot a Target and a Walmart, that seems to be the path to "justice".

 

[Schattenreiter]

Maybe we need to loot a Target and a Walmart, that seems to be the path to "justice".

If I start looting it ain't gonna be Target or Walmart

 

[Jayne]

Can we hit up discount tire as well? Going to need some tires for the van before long.

 

[Jayne]

Just watched it... nothing says "I'm a threat" like turning on the lights, opening the door and coming out with your hands up at a slow shamble.

 

[B00ger]

I bet I know some US Marines and Infantrymen who wish they had that kinda gear when they were sent into war zones.

 

[dmarbell]

There is a number to call if you have information. Bunches of us should call and tell them we have information, because we watched the video and the SWAT team should be lynched.

 

[AK-Ben]

If this doesn’t get your blood boiling, I don’t know what will…

 

[NCLivingBrit]

Just hit a stealership and get a new van.

Does tractor supply have ammonium nitrate?

Would it be too obvious and opportunistic if we hit PSA instead?
Then again, they never seem to have anything interesting in stock anyways.. 🤔😏🤣

 

[Red Marley]

In what universe is this remotely acceptable? This may be the most outrageous example I've seen, and that's saying something 🤬

 

[NCLivingBrit]

I'm pretty sure if we try and hit PSA we're going to be seeing this from the berm side

So did Levoy Finicum but we see how that played out
