BREAKING: Dashcam Video Just Released Shows Cop Murder Zachary Hammond

Oh, I am also guessing the undercover was the guy seen on site as well, coming from the truck. Wonder what his statement was? He seemed completely calm on the camera while the suspect was being shot....very odd...not even a flinch, just casually walking.

I think it was unfortunate, the officer probably should not have fired his weapon. If it ends up being felony flight, with what was presumably a deadly weapon, the officer will be cleared. It all could have been avoided if the driver would have submitted to the commands of the officer.

Even at that LEOs don't have the right to be judge, jury and executioner.

No, but there is such thing as failure to act. Not saying this was the case, but it has created a presedence that will be in favor of the cop's actions.

the system is lying to you, you have been brainwashed. There are no real justifications to this action plain and simple.


Every action as a reaction. Sides who wants sides

pick. a. side.

Looks like the officer tried to put himself in the way of the suspect. Suspect appeared to be trying to avoid him, not drive over him, and the officer kept trying to get in front of the car. It should be the same verdict as if a civilian did this because of road rage or something....officer guilty of murder. The officer upped the ante when he tried to stop a moving car with his body...the car was obviously not moving to run the officer down. Had the officer stayed in his initial spot when he walked up, the car would have driven right by him. Poor judgement on the officer, unfortunately he will likely get out of any punishment for it.

I agree; better yet had the officer just stayed in his vehicle and wag his finger at the suspect and sternal said "don't you drive away" than the suspect wouldn’t have had to try to drive of in such an erratic manner. He could have simply drove off unobstructed and in a safe manner so as not to put other people who might have been in the parking lot in any danger.

Totally different..if someone pulls a gun and says stop.. Option a..stop.. Option b..drive away..

A bit of common sense says stop if u drive away well ur an idiot and deserve what happens next.

Great! You are totally agreeing with me but we're just getting hung up on the word "deserve." You are saying common sense should have told the kid that most likely the officer was a trigger-happy madman and not to give him any excuse to murder him.

You say he deserved it for not using common sense, I say "not using common sense" isn't even a crime.

Then should have stopped when asked especially when tripper happy USA cops are asking u to...

a reply to: Vasa Croe

Most likely, could have just gotten the tags and ran them and gone to the kids home. He could have also gone back to his car and chased after but that would most likely put more people at risk. Can't be sure on that since I don't know how many people where in the area when the police decided to discharge his weapon.

I think it should be pointed out that if the officer felt the driver was a danger he should have given instruction for the driver to exit his car from the safety of his car, while making sure no other bystanders where at risk as well. But I guess he decided to do it his own way.

The kid would have drove off, the cops follow and he would have pulled over in a block or 2 and gave himself up.

That is exactly how it would have played out..

Yeah, I am not really sure what the point of him jumping out of the car with a gun drawn was. Had he stayed in the car, or even pulled up a bit closer, he could have blocked the guy in or at least just rammed his car to stop him without killing him. I just find it nuts all the trouble they went to on this case in general....I mean they used how many man hours for an undercover operation to bust someone selling a few grams of weed that ended up in a killing? What a waste of taxpayer dollars and a life....

Not a crime but USA cops are notorious for using their guns..

Yeah, I am not nor have I ever been LEO, but I do know a lot of them and I can't say that this would seem standard operational procedure for this scenario. I could be wrong and would love for one of our ATS LEO's to jump on and comment on this.

No. when will we stop saying

well he asked for it
well he asked for it
well he asked for itX10

WHEN is it enough. when is it that we figure out that everything is corrupted beyond the point of redemption. what do we do as people who are the people.
WE ARE THE PEOPLE. right?

enough with words. those were all used up for asking for it.

how many whippings do you want to take while smiling

i didn't know the official statement contradicted the "my life was in danger since he was driving at me" theory.

if he didn't claim it before, MAYBE they can prosecute. I honestly think this same type of scenario has happened dozens of times and VERY rarely does the cop ever get charged.
