The Wichita Eagle reported Sunday that Justin Rapp was promoted to detective on June 25. Interim Chief Lem Moore said Rapp qualified for promotion based on written and oral examinations. He added that the killing didn’t disqualify Rapp for promotion since he wasn’t disciplined.

Rapp shot 28-year-old Andrew Finch in December 2017 while responding to a fake call of a hostage situation at Finch’s address. Rapp initially told detectives that he thought Finch had a gun but testified later that he didn’t see a weapon and shot him based on his hand motions.

To be fair, I get that. 8 feet is too damn close to be. You could trip amd fall right into him.

There's no reason whatsoever to be that close to a cop when they're trying to do their job.

Anything they're going to do that's bad you're going to see from 10 feet. Hell, you'd see it from 20. The guys filming Chauvin were 25 feet away.

To a degree. Huddle enough cops together and you cant see inside...

 

[Gomez Adams]

2 feet isn't going to make a bit of difference in that regard.

I'm glad I'm not one of the parents that lost a child. I'd be dead or in prison. I'd be taking out my frustration on a bunch of those cowards. Wholesale.

And just think when you're on the run you can hide in a school and they wont enter...

Holy political favors, Batman! That's the allegation against San Mateo County Sheriff Carlos Bolanos for sending a four-man team across the country last week, to raid the garage that builds Batmobiles.

Turns out, one of the sheriff's friends ordered a Batmobile and wasn't happy with how long it's taking.

Your public money paid for the trip last week by the sheriff's investigators - four round-trip plane tickets, three nights of hotels, meals, rental cars, and a lot of overtime.
