At a press conference last month, Tortuguita's family and attorneys said that the Georgia Dept. of Public Safety, which is running the non-independent investigation of their own officers' shooting, has refused to meet with them at all.

The scandal-prone Georgia Bureau of Investigation claims Terán shot first before being cut down w 13 bullets - but bodycam audio from APD cops within earshot indicates all shots were consistent w/ fire from rifles w suppressors carried by State Patrol.

    So the cop that got shot was shot by another cop then?

      For any who haven't seen or had the interest in watching it, there is a portion during the gunfire where the cop wearing the cam goes "Man you fucked your own officer up"

      The bullshit swirling about how it was Tortuguita's supposed gun matching ballistics is astounding

        It was really enlightening when I realized that virtually all of forensics—from fingerprints, to ballistics, blood spatter analysis, criminal profiling, you name it—is tea leaf reading propped up by copaganda TV. If the cops don't like you, there's a consultant who says you're a match to the peepee poopoo they found at the scene.
