Listen, cops lie a lot.
Only recently with the advent of social media and smartphones have the truth started to come out.
Do you want to see a perfect example of a coverup?
When Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officers shot and killed Jorge Gomez after a Black Lives Matter protest last June, the department said the 25-year-old had pointed an assault rifle toward them and that the officers feared for their lives.
But surveillance footage of the moments just before the fatal shooting, obtained by the Gomez family’s attorney and shared with VICE News, shows that Gomez tripped and fell while running away from police and doesn’t appear to have his legally owned weapon in his hands at the time of the shooting. He was shot moments after he stood up, according to the new video.
That’s not the story police told during a June 5 press conference about the shooting.
“As they exited their vehicles, Mr. Gomez raised that rifle in their direction,” Assistant Sheriff Christopher Jones said at the time. “These officers engaged Mr. Gomez, firing several shots and striking him.”
Do you want to know the worst part?
The cops haven’t been charged even though the DA and police have had this surveillance footage of Gomez being shot in the back the whole time.
The more things change the more things stay the same.
