Video of 17-Yr Old Kristiana Coignard In Police Station
Hat tip to Glenn Robinson.
There’s no sound to either video. It starts before Kristiana arrives. Since there is no sound, there is no way of knowing why the first officer restrained, but not handcuff her, even though it is now reported that she told the officer she had a gun.
Suicide, even by cop, is not a desire to die but a desire to stop the pain. Kristiana was hurting inside. May she rest in peace.

What puzzles me is that the first cop had her restrained. I wonder why he didn’t handcuff her? Think Progress reported that it was the second cop who shot first.

Exactly……a grown man, and allegedly trained can’t subdue and cuff. True story……when I was about 19 or 20, and my dad was a cop, he got a call to a diner down the street less than a 1/4 mile from where I worked. We had a police scanner since we did towing as well. I heard him respond to the call of 4 adult males making a ruckus and not paying the bill.
When there was a police action this close and I was working, I’d usually go see what was happening.
When I got there, dad was tangling with all 4 of them and he was winning !! Dad was 6 ft even and about 200 lbs. He was using his night stick and nun-chucks and as incredible as it may seem, he didn’t even badly hurt one of them. He had the nun-chucks locked onto one guys wrist and used him as a battering ram so to speak and used the nightstick to keep the others off of him or used it to trip them by hooking the back of their lower leg and yanking.
Bottom line……….bill paid, tip left, no serious injuries and dad went home safe and sound. It’s a shame there were no video cameras or cell phones back then.
You mean to tell me that all of these cops, who are wearing their heavy coats can’t “bull rush” her. and cuff her ??? Oh, I’m sorry……….Nazi’s don’t do that.

That was my first question after watching this, Xena.
This is all BS!!! They say she said when he came in that she had a gun.

When he had her down on the ground he could have handcuffed her and taken the “GUN”!!!
They they say it was a large “knife”????
Notice the cop had a big coat on, IF he had a knife or gun, he could have planted it by her.
They don’t show the whole thing.
Moral of all of these stories is don’t go to the police for ANY help.
Who is the guy with the shorts and t-shirt?
Another cop?
5 cops and they can’t subdue a teen with a “knife” without mudering her?

“Kristiana Coignard: Video Of Killing Shows Cops Had Teen Subdued Before Officers Opened Fire”
http://www.inquisitr.com/1796986/kristiana-coingard-video/
Excerpt detailing the final moments:
Moments after Derr allows Coignard to stand up with her hands free — even though she reportedly claimed to have a gun — two other officers arrive, identified as Gene Duffie and Grace Bagley. At this point, the 10:47 mark in the video, Derr already has his gun drawn and leveled at Coignard.
Almost immediately, Coignard rushes in the direction of Derr, who told investigators that the teen wielded a butcher knife. In the video she can be seen raising her arm, as if holding something. But what, if anything, is in her hand remains indistinct.
Though Derr backs to a safe distance from Coignard, both he and Bagley immediately shoot her, and the girl then falls to face down to the floor, motionless.
Derr fired his weapon three times while Bagley shot twice.
Duffie said that he tazed Kristiana Coignard, but the tazer had no effect. However, if indeed he fired his tazer, not even a full second elapses before the other two officers open fire, killing the troubled girl.

There has to be a surveillance camera at the other end of the room from this video’s surveillance camera.
You can see the beginning of a set of chairs in the right foreground. When the officers bring down the window shades one officer continues closing shades out of view in the bottom right foreground.
Apparently the camera that took the video that Xena posted above cannot pick up the part of the room that is missing in the foreground.
If there is, in fact a surveillance camera on the far wall, its video would have a more detailed, up close view of the struggle.

Loly,
I thought it was standard police procedure that after taking a “suspect” to the ground, he/she is handcuffed then searched. If not, then it’s merely a police officer using physical restraint just to do so. Armed or not, the decision that led to Kristiana’s death was that the officer had her restrained, but let her go. I saw something shiny on the video, but it’s not clear if it was a knife. The point however, is that she would not have taken that knife out and went after the cop had he followed correct procedure.
Have we ever seen a cop take a person down and not handcuff?

They’re instructed to keep shooting until the threat is down. I don’t think they provide CPR because the thought from the moment they pull the trigger until they stop, is to make sure that the “suspect” is dead.

Some serve and protect only themselves. Remember the woman who was taken hostage in a bank robbery? The robbers had a gun, so the cops shot into the vehicle killing the hostage.
You know, with fingerprints, ballistics and DNA, some lawyers said that the dead do talk. Now, there is so much failure to examine the crime scene and collect evidence, that even forensic evidence is subject to those collecting and testing it, and does not always speak for the dead.

Any who, the government spends quite a bit holding summits for Mayors/Commissioners/Chief of police; educating them on alternative ways to deal w/challenged citizens for non-morbid results. (Last August ???)
After all, wasn’t it the government via Reagan who closed/cut mental health facilities therefore literally tossing some to the streets, incapable of receiving intervention/prevention, for psychotic episodes, then they show up anywhere USA reeking the call for help, but get shot/killed, then police lie/cover-up. They know they’re wrong.
Kajeme Powell did something similar. They do not deserve to be killed, period.
I wish someone somewhere would connect the dots, sue the pants off powers that be and make this a wrong way of dealing in our society.

Near-brawl breaks out at city council meeting to heal wounds between police and public after Ferguson unrest
A city council meeting in St. Louis turned ugly on Wednesday when the business manager of the city’s police union got into an altercation with people he called “anti-police radicals.”
The board meeting was hosted to get public input on a proposed bill, sponsored by Alderman Antonio French, which would establish a civilian oversight board to review and rule on complaints about police work. The bill was prompted by racially charged protests that erupted in Ferguson last year following the fatal shooting of Michael Brown, a black teenager, by white officer Darren Wilson.
But about an hour into the hearing, Jeff Roorda, a state representative who also serves as the business manager of the St. Louis Police Officers Association, stood up and called for order.
Alderman Terry Kennedy, the committee’s chairman, responded, “Excuse me, first of all, you do not tell me my function.”
Things quickly unraveled, and Roorda, who was wearing an armband that read “I am Darren Wilson,” engaged in a scuffle with several attendees.

It is a technique to squelch community/public oversight of a PD’s mishandling of a bad cop.

I don’t think it is intended to squelch community/public oversight because it is a response to the complaints of the community where there is distrust of law enforcement. It appears to be some type of oppressive intimidation factor otherwise.
