I can tell at least half the people down in the comments didn't bother to watch the bodycam footage. Nobody who watched all the bodycam footage can in good faith claim Deputy Eggers was at fault. DeHart did everything he could to make sure things happened the way that they did. Deputy Eggers was calm and professional throughout the interaction. In fact, for the idiot saying "she escalated the situation; should have left it to a man", Deputy McCowan rolled up and immediately yelled at and ordered DeHart, taser already drawn. If anyone escalated the situation, it was him. Of course, if DeHart had actually cooperated with police instructions, none of this would have happened in the first place. But, nah, fam. A cop did her job within the confines of the law, and an uncooperative armed felon made an easy situation into a difficult one, murdered a man over it, and attempted to murder Eggers as well. So this is *obviously* the cop's fault. /s Typical trash ACABer stupidity.

This was second degree no doubt. He was being tased when he fired the first shot at the deputy. If he just fired unexpectedly while they were speaking that’s a horse of another color. If you are the victim of violence ( being tased) and you harm the person harming you and end up killing them how is that a premeditated murder?

This deputy, in my opinion got her partner killed.. Her incompetency and then didn't even render aid to her severely wounded partner. The way her and her partner treated and acted on the traffic stop was just unbelievable. Failure on so many levels. What not to do on a traffic stop 101. The slow response time of the other cops as well is probably a reflection on their department.
@starlitsakura
@starlitsakura 5 ай бұрын
…she didn’t render aid because if you watched the body cam video, he was shot in the head and chest, he was practically dead on instant. when she got shot in the leg immediately after he was shot, she couldn’t move. and why would she move closer to the car with the suspect and gun? she drew her gun to try and stop him. after she got shot in the leg, the suspect ran over his head. no, i wouldn’t check on him either. the citizens that came to help, checked his pulse moments later, and he was gone. she did her duty well. facts since you can’t watch a body cam video properly: she pulled him over because he was swerving in the road at night, got his license/registration, searched up that he was a felon, ran his license plate, realized it was his grandmother’s car, they give her a call for her to justify that he can be driving it, and when she had come back to the car, on the other side opposite to the driver’s side, smelled marijuana. he has a history of drugs, so no wonder he might have it. AND he’s a felon on probation with other history of theft etc. she asked for him to step out of the vehicle, and since he was on probation as a felon, he had to comply but refused. she called back up, taser was fired for resisting, and without knowing he had a gun, they were shot. i don’t care if you think marijuana should be legalized or not, the fact of the matter is, in the state of Tennessee, it isn’t. it’s not his or her fault it is illegal, so shoving your prejudice down their throats because you hate cops shows your ignorance to the highest level.

I think all 3 parties are in the wrong here. She was profiling and " brotha" should never been said, use "sir" as a sign of mutual respect. Her partner was way too loud and aggressive and tased him too long . But the root of the incident remains...he should have cooperated with her and requested a supervisor IF he was innocent of DUI and drugs. Its a sad thing to see for all involved. The culture needs to change for both the black community as well as the leo community. Just my opinion
