Do what?
Mr. Peterson is a busy guy-
Bad police work. Handcuff should have been behind back.
Attn 12:17 Did you read the article?
@12:17 PM - reading comprehension fail! He was handcuffed behind his back, but he slipped the cuffs to the front.
12:17 PM obviously is just a headline grabber and cannot take time to read the actual post. "after he maneuvered the handcuffs from his rear to his front...."
@12:17 PM is one of those internet trolls who firmly believes that he knows more than anyone else, but he couldn't make it through 10 minutes of a police academy without crying for his mommy.
So, there were at least 2 police vehicles, meaning multiple officers. What were they doing while he was maneuvering his cuffed hands to the front and jumping into the car?
Speaking from experience, it is almost (if not) impossible to make a turn with those cuffs on. On the brighter side, at least this gave Jackson’s finest a little target practice.
Was not "handcuffed properly" are the words that should have been used.
If you properly handcuff a suspect, behind his back, with his palms facing away from each other, and the key lock on the inside, you make it very difficult for anyone to "step" behind the cuffs and get their hands positioned in front of them.
(handcuffing 101)
Hey, let's all jump on the band wagon for judicial reform.
Article doesn't say, but was he shot because he embarrassed and pissed off a cop or did he intentionally attempt to run one (JPD Officer) down? Bet the Mayor will want blood for this.
Niknar resident here. Wild, Wild West. Literally (from Niknar).
@2:11, you forgot to mention "always lock the cuffs". Don't want ACLU and other attorney types coming after you for physical injury. Happens, whether you like it or not.
@1:40, not quite sure what you mean, but with cuffs on in front of me I was able to steer somewhat ok in the Fed Academy. Done to practice getting away from a hostage situation.
JPD was only following the Mayor's "holistic approach" to Jackson crime.
Compassion is an integral part of the Mayor's comprehensive holistic plan.
If the cuffs had been too tight, JPD would be viewed as not being compassionate.
"Peterson was also a wanted person with 2 active felony warrants for murder and aggravated assault, related to a fatal shooting on Woodside Drive in October. Peterson was also wanted by MS Department of Corrections."
This dude should have been locked up a long time ago, but that's a different topic,
3:45 Sad thing is: he may very well have been locked up a long time ago........it's the "keeping them locked up" part that seems so difficult for our local judges (Hinds County, that is) to do.
He could probably get a job with a carnival working with the bearded lady. Dang, can you imagine the creepy chit they could come up with.
Chokwe, Wade, Buckley, Hearns, Thompson are the start of solving the issues. None of these guys have a clue. Big egos, little knowledge of real police work.
There are some people who have long enough arms & flexibility to slip their cuffed hands under their bent legs & get them in front....But, the Police vehicle should have a "Cage" divider behind the front seats & almost all Police vehicles have the rear inside door handles disabled. So how did he maneuver all these obstacles & gain control of the vehicle? We haven't gotten all the information.
7:10 - Watchu wanna bet the car's engine was running too. Put me down for 50.
if a video ever comes out...yakety sax as the soundtrack??
Reading the story, this reeks of lazy, apathetic police work.
You handcuff someone poorly, you place them in a vehicle incorrectly, you leave your car running and walk away, then the thug drives off. Kind of a cascade of events caused by lethargic police work.
You don't have to be an especially smart thug to get away from a lazy cop.
8:54 - That's too dang funny!!
