>A newspaper photographer from Ohio was shot Monday night by a sheriff’s deputy who apparently mistook his camera and tripod for a gun, and fired without a warning, the newspaper reported.
>Andy Grimm, a photographer for the New Carlisle News, left the office at about 10 p.m. to take pictures of lightning when he came across a traffic stop and decided to take photos, according to the paper’s publisher, Dale Grimm.
>“He said he got out, parked under a light in plain view of the deputy, with a press pass around his neck,” Grimm told The Washington Post. “He was setting up his camera, and he heard pops.”
This is small town Ohio, of all places. Why are cops so nervous, so quick to draw and fire, without first trying to understand and defuse a situation?
In 2013, ~87% of the police officers in the US were male.

why didn't the reporter have a gun? If he had a gun he could shoot back and be all right

they try to shoot their gun at the smallest of offenses because they might not have another opportunity, for example in times sq there was a man holding a knife a few meters away from people, five cops shot him because it was the only opportunity they would get

>“He said he got out, parked under a light in plain view of the deputy, with a press pass around his neck,” Grimm told The Washington Post. A thousand bucks says the officer's dashcam or bodycam ends up showing the photographer a) pulled behind the cop at a poorly lit traffic stop b) wasn't wearing a press pass and c) ignored verbal warnings from the cop
Nicholas Jones
i agree. You should go park 100ft behind a traffic stop and run around in the dark with a metal pole.

Why does the press want to always be at odds with cops? It doesn't even fucking say allegedly which used to either be the law or at least a common courtesy the press used.
They obviously want to cause urban turmoil for ratings.
>"I was going out to take pictures and I saw the traffic stop and I thought, 'hey, cool. I'll get some pictures here.'" He said he pulled into Studebaker's parking lot in full view of the deputy, got out of his Jeep in full view of the deputy and started setting up his tripod and camera. "I turned around toward the cars and then 'pop, pop,'"
>Andy said the deputy gave him no warning. "I was just doing my job," he said.
>"I know Jake. I like Jake. I don't want him to lose his job over this."

I walk up on the side of him about 20 feet away to see what he wanted. He reached for his gun. I put my hands up to show him I only had a coffee cup in my hand.

Maybe he heard about those cops that got massacred last week for being cops and didn't wanna get culturally diversified all over the pavement.

Funny how black cops are never villified. You are suspicious just for pulling behind at night, but running in the dark with a gun shaped object?

Are you really surprised? Cops can do anything they want because they know the good goys will protect them from consequences.

Many of them (especially in small towns, actually) are roided-up vets from Iraq, who spent a few years over there pushing people around and learning to see everyone around them as a potential attacker. So they make perfect cops in the War On Terror age.

You're retarded name one thing in the dark that couldn't possibly be a gun. Guy reaching for his cigarette? Could be reaching for a gun. Guy has a black iPhone? That could be a gun. Guy using a camera? Is he aiming a gun?? I hope you get shot.

It doesn't have to be in the shadows at all. Anything could be a gun in your hand if the cop only looks for half a second before hey lays you flat faggot. Pussy cop and you're a pussy for saying he's not a pussy. Real men give a fuck about the lives of their fellow citizens, it's what keeps society from collapsing into chaos. Fucks like you and this cop do nothing but degrade social cohesion making life harder for cops everywhere, retard.
