Can there be any valid reason for the officers to spend almost 40 minutes with this man PRIOR TO conducting the breath test?
Think about it. Forty minutes. Why would they do that?

Have you seen the 40 minutes?

Watch the entire tape.

Are you saying there was a valid reason to talk for almost 40 minutes before performing the breath test?

What would that reason be?
I am asking you to watch the encounter for 38 minutes leading up to the breath test.

Let us know what you come up with.

Given the rest of the information we have available from the news on this matter, it wouldn't surprise me in the least to find out this too is a bunch of BS.

Actually, I am trying to come up with a good reason for Rayshard to abuse his kids, commit battery on his wife, drink and drive and put other peoples lives at risk by doing so...once I come up with a good reason for that, then I will move on to the issue of the police having a conversation with the scumbag.

Join me, will you?

I am sure you can come up with excellent reasons why Rayshard did all these things.

Maybe you should start up some sort of advocacy group for people who want to do these things without social consequence.

Someone being a shitbag doesn’t entitle the government to summary execution of this person. How can you deal with the issue at hand if you bring in irrelevant moral issues?

I can deal with the issue at hand because I am not bringing up "irrelevant moral issues."

Yeah, it was totally relevant that Rayshard was the one drinking and driving that night and thinking it would be a good thing to sleep it off in the drive thru lane at a Wendy's because that was the type of shitbag he was...what he wanted was fine and as long as everyone went along with that notion then Rayshard was cool.

If they kill a 1000 more Rayshards, I'm all for it.

Better than them killing me or one of my family.

He wasn't executed.

Execution is reserved for a court to decide.

It's all relevant.

Past behavior is the best predictor for future behavior.

One more incident in a long line of incidents demonstrating that Rayshard believed himself to be better than everyone else.. "I'm gonna drive drunk...I'll park where I want...Fuck you, you don't count...You better lemme do this or else!!!"

Denied due process my ass.

Rayshard didn't even understand the words, "due process."

Had he, he would have cooperated with police and accepted the responsibility he had to do so once he was told to place his hands behind his back and cuff up.

Stop lying.

When you fight with police, cause one of them a concussion, steal their equipment, and fire at them, then you are going to get shot.

Last time I checked, these guys were sworn police officers who did the right thing.

There were no vigilantes.

They justifiably shot a fleeing suspect who had committed assault on police.

The suspect died as a result of the shooting.

That is for the courts to decide isn't it?  Regardless you are hoping for police to kill more people you don't like simply because you don't like them.  That isn't how the justice system works in your country, it's just you want to satisfy a weird feeling of vengeance you have.

For being someone who did something you didn't like.  You want agents of the government to go around killing people who have committed crimes for which they have already been convicted of, that aren't even capital crimes.

Naturally, you find a way for that to equal a hope on my part for it to happen.

Which is obviously not true.

Thankfully, most people understand to let due process play out and go with police when busted.

Which you miss...

Just another disingenuous characterization of my position on your part.

But by all means, I suggest you take your message of "due process," to the streets of Buffalo and Chicago, where the scum like Rayshard could use it in their practice of peaceful coexistence.

750 complaints about NYPD abuse in 2 weeks, with 129 separate incidents reported

The Civilian Complaint Review Board has a backlog of almost 3000 cases

Well, it was a nice experiment. If nothing else it demonstrated the importance of having police around, I mean who could have ever predicted that a lack of police presence would lead to increased crime?    ::)

Pre-protest, but; four deputies beat the sh*t out of a handcuffed Reg Arrington Jr. with their riot batons, for the heinous crime of ... walking on the wrong side of the road.

Charges against him have now been dropped, and an excessive force lawsuit has been filed.

Looks like they beat the shit out of him for failing to cooperate.

Once he was in cuffs, all he had to do was keep walking to the police car and get in.

Seems he didn't want to.

Looks like excessive force, then. The job of the police is not to "beat the shit" out of someone for trivial matters such as this. He was handcuffed. They should be able to control someone in handcuffs, I've seen British police do this with ease. If they cannot control someone already in handcuffs, they are remarkably poor at the business of police work. 

Why can't four deputies manage to get one person under control without it turning into a disaster area where they lose control, lose self-control, and over-escalate to the point where even their own chief is disgusted at them? Don't they get trained in this stuff?

Yes.

They do get trained in this stuff.

Just like minorities get trained to pull the race card every time they want to do what they want to do without logical consequence.

Nice broad brush you are using.

And police in England have probably had difficulty handling people already in handcuffs, whether you want to admit it or not.

You are acting like Manchester U or Liverpool is unavailable to us yanks.

I've seen those crowds...

Keep up the rhetoric!

You will get what you want eventually!
