KO Shows Airman shooting video by San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

Shows no reason to defend the shooting.

It was in cold blood.

A San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy shot an Air Force security officer late Sunday night after the airman told the deputy that he was in the military and "on your side." A videotape of the incident, which was shot on a residential Chino street about 10:30 p.m., was of poor quality, showing only a silhouette of the deputy and the face of the man who was shot — illuminated by the deputy's flashlight.

But the tape appears to show the deputy opening fire as the man was trying to comply with the officer's apparent order to stand up.

Senior Airman Elio Carrion, 21, had been riding as a passenger in a Corvette that was involved in a brief, high-speed chase with the deputy that reached speeds of 100 mph before the Corvette crashed into a fence, authorities said.

The videotape, shot by Chino resident Jose Luis Valdes, shows Carrion sprawled on the ground and repeatedly telling the deputy, "I'm on your side."

After being shot 3 times for nothing, he's then told to shut the fuck up.

Such is life in Fascist America.

12. Just another isolated incedent...

look for the scumbag to get a promotion out of it

[951-Riverside]

14. since he's a black officer his defense might try to play the race card...

but I think his career is over in San Bernardino he is completely out of control.

[immoderate]

15. ...or because he's such a bad shot!

[951-Riverside]

16. He knew he was doing wrong and he panicked like street thug

when he pulled that trigger.

20. Still it's curious. I wonder what he was thinking.

--IMM

[951-Riverside]

22. He was angry.

I don't know if this thug had a thing against hispanics but he was angry and amped, perhaps he was on drugs.
