ok, you busted me, I was totally lying about a teacher and

Cam's first film cameo as Dennis the Peasant.

King Arthur: I am your king.
Peasant Woman: Well, I didn't vote for you.
King Arthur: You don't vote for kings.
Peasant Woman: Well, how'd you become king, then?
[Angelic music plays... ]
King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king.
Dennis the Peasant: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Arthur: Be quiet!
Dennis the Peasant: You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
Arthur: Shut up
Dennis the Peasant: I mean, if I went around saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!
Arthur: [grabs Dennis] Shut up! Will you shut up?!
Dennis: Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system!
Arthur: [shakes Dennis] Shut up!
Dennis: Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help, I'm being repressed!
Arthur: Bloody Peasant!
Dennis: Ooh, what a giveaway!

It just doesn't look all that obvious, to me

Apr 6, 2016, 4:34 PM [ in reply to A couple things. ]

Probably the worst thing you could say is that it looks like the car had already missed the officer before he fired, although that doesn't mean that the kid never tried to hit him with the car. There's just too much that happens off the camera for me to feel like I can be sure what happened, other than that the kid tried to get away from being arrested in a drug deal and got shot while trying to escape.

Here's the Solicitor's interpretation of the video: http://www.wyff4.com/news/no-charges-for-seneca-officer-who-killed-teen-solicitor-says/36059966

“The dashcam video shows Lt. Tiller pulling his vehicle behind Hammond’s parked car. "Hammond can be seen on video subsequently putting his car in reverse. "Hammond is able to reverse and maneuver his vehicle between Tiller’s patrol car and (Seneca police Sgt. B.J.) McClure’s car. Tiller quickly approaches Hammond’s car on the driver’s side with his gun drawn and repeatedly orders Hammond to stop and to show his hands. "Hammond then puts his car in drive in order to attempt to flee the scene. Hammond ignores Lt. Tiller’s clear instructions to stop and show his hands. Hammond then puts his car in drive in order to attempt to flee the scene. Hammond then turns the car hard left toward Lt. Tiller resulting in Lt. Tiller being face-to-face with Hammond at the driver’s window. The dashcam video shows Hammond’s vehicle veering toward Lt. Tiller and accelerating rapidly. Tiller back pedals a few steps to avoid being knocked down by Hammond’s car and is seen pushing off the vehicle as it veers towards him. The dashcam video shows Tiller’s feet going underneath the car at the approximate time the shots are fired. This can also be seen in the still photos provided by the FBI lab. Two shots are fired in rapid succession. The first shot can be heard almost immediately after Tiller pushes off the car and when his body is still exposed to danger from the vehicle. "The second shot immediately follows. "The car accelerated with such force that a concrete curb was damaged as well as Hammond’s front passenger-side tire. "Tiller is heard on the dashcam video seconds after the shooting saying Hammond tried to hit him with the car. "The situation rapidly unfolded and, as evidenced by the dash cam video, Tiller was forced to decide whether or not to fire his weapon in less than three seconds.”

Adams wrote, “The video viewed at full speed, standing alone, is troublesome. However, when the video and the totality of the investigation is evaluated and the laws of our State are applied, it is clear that Lt. Tiller broke no State laws. "The evidence from this investigation corroborates and supports Lt. Tiller’s belief that he was going to be run over. "Therefore, the only conclusion that can be rendered is that deadly force was justified.”

Fair enough

This dude was my philosophy professor and my mind was

Students are not profs, thankfully

That's the first time I've watched that video in a while,

I'm not too familiar with this story...

Curious... how did you come to that conclusion?***

A couple things.

Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but this was

Actually he followed standard protocol.

Weird....so I just learned that Tackleberry is dead too.

Tackleberry would have shot the kid from the street

It just doesn't look all that obvious, to me

I just re-watched the stop and approach 3 times.

Didn't he do that to try to get the car to stop?

To just let them go is what I'm saying.

I would probably agree, for minor drug offenses

I am thinking..

In this particular situation, just having another car

And we come back to this minor drug offence

Kid didn't try to run over the cop.

That looks like murder to me.**
