gun wasn't police issue my guess. the guy went for the gun, then gun went off, the bullet ricocheted and hit him.mrmusicman247
Wat, in a car? The thin metal body of a car can't stop a bullet, and if it did, I don't think the bullet would even be able to kill you any more.
You can still shoot your self, easily, while sitting and handcuffed with your hands behind your back.
Let's say he was trying to shoot the handcuffs off from that position: he gets the gun out of his pocket(or wherever), places the gun on the seat facing up, muzzle under the chain, pushes the trigger with a free finger, all while looking down and to the right... shoots himself right in the head.
If it's not the police's fault, it's either suicide, or it looks like he may be in the running for a Darwin Award.
Police clearly killed him and planted the gun on him

I agree. The PIGS murdered that man and they will tell what ever lie they want to the firearms review board and the board will cover for them, and the Chief of Police will lie for them to ... Welcome to America!
Not enough evidence to suggest anything so I'm not taking any sides here. And even if it were racially motivated like many of you like to believe, don't know if I should really care. There will always be someone getting killed somewhere in the world due to some form of discrimination rather race related or otherwise. I doubt such deaths will suddenly stop occurring....

a ricocheted bullet can most definitely kill a person if they get hit in the head.Exactly.he probably shot himself, who knows. Also do we need to make a race issue out of everything? if the guy was white then this wouldn't be on the news

:lol:I love how TC twisted this into "Black man found shot in the head"to turn it into a crazy racism story
Look how many people believe they know what happened without any evidence to look at.....sad how stupid humans are.:lol:I love how TC twisted this into "Black man found shot in the head"to turn it into a crazy racism story

Why would the cops go out of their way to do all of this to kill a 21 year old kid? What's the purpose of killing a random kid caught for weed? If you're making it a race issue, what race were the cops? WeepsForFoolsWhat difference does that make?

a ricocheted bullet can most definitely kill a person if they get hit in the head. mrmusicman247I didn't say ricochet can't kill, but at the high angle(s) required to 'shoot yourself' with the ricochet, out of a small handgun, I really don't think the bullet is going to retain enough energy to kill you. Unless of course you're shooting through a smoothly curved tube, then sure.
Ricochet doesn't work like in Alien Resurrection, each bounce loses energy and if it turned around it would first require 'all' the bullets forward momentum to have been stopped, and for the material to have been elastic enough to 'bounce' the bullet back.
Cars are no where near bulletproof, they're made of thin sheets of metal, not thick plates steel, possibility of any ricochet likely be nearly nonexistent, as the materials 'in' the car aren't elastic, thick or hard enough to stop and/or deflect a bullet.
And at what angle would he had to have shot the gun to get it to ricochet back into his head from inside a car?

He, like the majority of young black men in the US was stop and search for weed. When they found weed, he was put into the squad car. And if the death if found to be extrajudicial, he would be the 111 black victim of a extrajudicial killing. How is it not a racial issue?
you're not understanding me. he didn't ricochet the bullet on purpose. for whatever reason he had the gun out, it went off by accident. ricocheted off a piece of the metal cage in the back of the police car and hit him the head. in simpler terms, the whole thing was a freak accident. mrmusicman247
Of course he didn't 'try' to ricochet the bullet into his head you dolt, I'm saying it's stupidly improbable that it'd kill him even in the unlikely event that the bullet 'did' ricochet back to him. Why would you take an insanely unlikely way to die and think that it has any decent chance?
If he wasn't murdered, he probably did something stupid like facing(not necessarily holding it, possibly on the seat facing up) the gun up and accidentally, or intentionally pulling the trigger while looking at the down at the gun. Infinitely more likely than ricocheting a bullet (in a car no less) and killing himself.
Could have also just fallen on the floor of the car, and went off.
Your sig is Mythbusters, did you conveniently miss the episode where they tried to ricochet a bullet to the gunman with the bullet retaining its lethality?
