Looks like they found Denkin's DNA on Twiddy's gun. Also found his DNA on the stolen gun, and coke in his system.

Twiddy isn't being charged.

it's almost as if they throw that out there so that a group of people will latch onto it...

Just proves he's a THUG, am I right.

are you seriously asking if its the same thing if a police officer has cocaine in their system while working?

god damn all you guys are retarded

4/13/2016 5:13:56 PM

technically speaking the thug was on the clock as well

4/13/2016 5:19:42 PM

The bit about cocaine in his system could be used to suggest that he was particularly paranoid or aggressive at the time of the shooting. Maybe he indulged in a bunch of cocaine, like people in the movies and stuff. Still, if anything, it's a reminder that the only reason he and the officer were interacting is some old drug warrants.

And I was actually wondering if they tested the cop. A nice balance of weed and speed paired with biannual detox would make for an effective police force.

4/13/2016 5:25:32 PM

So the fact that he was on a substance that could potentially alter his behavior has nothing to do with the shotting? Oh ok. Thanks for enlightening me.

4/13/2016 6:19:52 PM

I mean, he could have done blow 2 or 3 days before the incident. Just because it was in his system doesn't necessarily mean he was high.

4/13/2016 6:23:16 PM

^^no, it doesn't

[Edited on April 13, 2016 at 6:24 PM. Reason : ^ exactly]

4/13/2016 6:23:37 PM

coke is out of your system within a day

4/13/2016 6:33:27 PM

It could take a little longer, but if we were taking bets, we'd probably all guess he was at least a bit high. I mean, if 9-5ers can't make it through a whole day of ass-sitting without Xanax, Adderal, Zoloft, and Cymbalta, then this guy probably enjoyed a little help, too.

4/13/2016 6:40:58 PM

even if he had done a few lines before the incident, coke isn't going to make a dude go for a cops gun

4/13/2016 6:48:24 PM

Coke can make people who are prone to violence more likely to get violent. Clearly his first intention seemed to be to run away, but I don't know how you're so sure that fueling up a gang member isn't going to make him more likely to try and get violent with a cop.

Cocaine will clear a blood test in less than a day; I doubt they had the dead guy pissing in a cup.

4/13/2016 10:49:00 PM

Who cares if the thug was in a gang, on drugs, and fought a cop? HE WAS BLACK, and the COP WAS WHITE! It's RACIST!

#ISTANDWITHTHENARRATIVE

I am so outraged.

4/13/2016 11:15:58 PM

Literature I've read says cocaine stays in a user's system, and is detectable by standard tests anywhere from 2 - 4 days.

what was the argument again? was this man unarmed or armed?

4/14/2016 12:08:50 PM

Don't think there was one aside from one guy making up quotes and then arguing against them.

This isn't nearly as controversial as some other cases.

4/14/2016 12:39:51 PM

Can someone sum up any evidence/witness accounts that contradict the cops story? I get the whole "cops often lie on their reports" thing...but in this case, at this point, what is there?

IIRC, witnesses said he was shot in the back. Who the heck knows where those witnesses are today.

I wish it were. The outrage that would have been projected towards the white cop if it was clearly a racial killing would benefit the community if that same outrage would be targeted towards the culture that keeps getting young men killed. If people would have rallied at the police station, why not rally at a gang's house?

4/14/2016 1:12:49 PM

^ I'd imagine it's because the situations aren't analagous. A police officer is an agent of the government, whereas an individual is not. Race is also a protected class, whereas the police are not. Also, don't ignore the long and violent history of the police in America

4/14/2016 1:24:41 PM

They aren't the same, but don't you think a similar reaction could benefit the community?

4/14/2016 1:35:55 PM

Dude, there are all kinds of organizations, meetings, activists, etc whose purpose is to address and curb gang violence. Why are you acting like there aren't?

Very similar to the people who constantly complain that moderate muslims don't speak out against terrorism (when many do).

4/14/2016 1:44:04 PM

No one wants to talk about how the muslim world was not as strict until after WW2 either

4/14/2016 1:46:06 PM

Im not sure I really understand your query.


A horde of police or community members protesting outside of a dead guy's house (or his parents house) ? Nah, I don't think it would be that beneficial. Sounds kind of dangerous actually.

Or are you talking about the black community condemning the unlawful** actions of an individual? They probably always have, and still do.

Or are you insinuating that it is black culture that told this guy to commit a crime?


** for the sake of your argument, I'll assume the dead guy was guilty of whatever it is he was doing.

You're right, these exist but you don't see them as often or their actions. Maybe they organized a rally and shut down traffic, marched against known gang houses for a murder this year, but I didn't see that on the news or twitter.

Yeah because Black community works to lower crime rates is a shit news headline. The news is supposedly a representation of the LEAST common occurrences. Otherwise they wouldn't be news right? So when you get all your information from the LEAST common things then what collection of data do you have?

Of course you didn't say anything about blk culture. That's why I asked what exactly you meant by your query...

Quote :

"..that same outrage would be targeted towards the culture that keeps getting young men killed"

It's there where I didn't know which culture you were referring to. Typically, culture isn't used to describe something as small as a community or neighborhood. You usually see it used to describe attributes of a race, ethnicity, region, age group, or country.



Anyway, I wouldn't recommend a bunch of neighborhood citizens go raise a ruckus outside of a gang member's house.... That sounds like a recipe for disaster. Hell, I don't even know why we are talking about gangs here....was this guy who was shot in a gang?
You see, protesting and stopping traffic is an effective means to get the attention of those politicians in govt. capable of enacting change from the top. I'm not so sure the desired effect would be obtained blocking Piru Street. There have been marches and protests though.... I would wager that you never heard of them because you never looked them up.

What kind of change are you talking about though, in the context of this particular incident? Want to make drugs legal, so he wouldn't have had previous charges? Want to make not showing up for court a non-issue, so he wouldn't have had a warrant out for his arrest? Want to make it legal to run from a cop, so he wouldn't have been chased?

I just can't fathom that some people think that coke had nothing to do with this, as well as people thinking that the cop shouldn't have given chase and that he could just get picked up later.

4/14/2016 8:29:15 PM

You're trying to apply logic and reasoning to liberalism's concept of an "infallible victim". A white person shot a black person, so society is racist. That is the narrative and the facts around this incident don't matter to them.
