BBC journalists covering Virginia shooting 'threatened by police,' forced to delete footage Wait just a minute........... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70174327 From the OP's link "Strasser tweeted that he and McKelvey were told the footage “could be evidence,” and that they were forced to delete it." That makes no sense. If it's evidence, the last thing the cops want to do is delete it. Do cops raid homes for drugs and then tell the home owner to flush the drugs because they could be used for evidence? Something is not right here. LOL Where're you from AC; anytown, U.S.A.? Sounds like a swell place. I'd like to go there--but it is far, far away from here. Why did you feel the need to make up a story about me because of what I posted? Something is not right about that too. What's your agenda here? Just to make fun of people who think TV is real life, is all. Nothing personal, I assure you. I can enjoy the entertainment of professional wrestling--but I don't try to tell myself that it is real. Why are you all so emotionally involved in things that are pure speculation? The hoaxers actually have something to lose, so I understand where they are coming from; but if your side is right--what do you gain exept a race war and a (more) totalitarian regime? Hmmm.......... really? Fun is a means to an emotion of happiness and yet you question why other people are "emotionally involved"? How very odd of you. And then you talk about a "race war"? Really? You have a wild imagination, indeed. |

BBC journalists covering Virginia shooting 'threatened by police,' forced to delete footage It's actually not explained. Just because it's 'common practice,' doesn't make it legit. Especially in such a high profile event. Come on. They weren't destroying actual evidence. They were destroying footage the guy had of them on the scene gathering evidence. Now if the guy happened to be on the scene and filmed the car crashing or something like that, then you would have something here. All that occurred though was the cop making him destroy footage that if it went public could have revealed info to the public prior to the case being processed and what not. It's not as of the footage captured anything the cops didn't gather as evidence already or were in the process of doing. And yes, the cop apparently didn't have the right to make the reporter delete the footage. Like I said, he overstepped his bounds by doing that. But again, cops behaving like that in general isn't all that uncommon. Many of them tend to abide their position of power or actually believe they are allowed to do certain things that aren't actually legal. Part of the reason they behave that way though is because they rarely get in trouble for it anyhow. That in itself is evidence. Do you not think HOW evidence is gathered is important in a case? Police mishandling of evidence, for example. Many a case has been thrown out for that very reason. I understand what you are saying and happen to agree with you. What I'm conveying though, because I think some were confused, is that what the cop did wasn't as if he was destroying damning information that the reporter captured. He was deleting the recording because he didn't want evidence being shown to the public before the "proper" time. But yes, the manner in which the police gather that evidence is worth being documented however possible and when possible. So in that regard, if you think the cops were dirty and worried that this guy filmed them doing things that were questionable on the scene, then yes, you could argue that evidence was destroyed which possibly could have proven that. But, if we're being technical here, that would have been an entirely separate crime in itself for which evidence was destroyed. Again though, I understand what you are saying and happen to agree with you. Last Edited by TakingCues on 08/27/2015 06:13 PM |

BBC journalists covering Virginia shooting 'threatened by police,' forced to delete footage The BBC was told to delete their footage. The BBC? WTF are all of these big stories coming out of the Daily Mail and the BBC. Has anyone checked into the "reporters" for the BBC who were forced to "delete" nothing. All this story is doing is giving credence to the false fact that something real happened here. One of the reporter's names is Franz Strasser. From Wikepedia on that name: Franz Strasser was an Austrian-German former NSDAP Kreisleiter and convicted murderer. In December 1944, in Kaplitz, Czechoslovakia, Franz Strasser killed two American allied airmen by shooting them with a Thompson submachine gun. They were members of a group of five who stayed with pilot Warren Woodruff when he landed their plane in a field. They had voluntarily surrendered and were taken away in a truck. A Captain Lindemeyer, who later committed suicide, reportedly killed the other three, and the court verdict suggests that the killings were originally Lindemeyer's idea. |
