Man shot in the head while handcuffed in back of a police car

[KALEL114]

Yes, you can get the gun to your head in handcuffs...but how do they explain the trajectory of the bullet going DOWNWARDS? All of the people in the demonstration video show a bullet trajectory of upwards. No video of the moment Chavis was shot? No gunshot residue tests?

If Chavis committed suicide, these questions wouldn't need to be asked.

Who said the bullet was on a downward trajectory?

I'm curious to hear what you think happened, because the evidence is pretty overwhelming.

I haven't read anything about a downward trajectory either. It seems like there was enough investigation to rule it a suicide unfortunately.

Was there a grassy knoll nearby?

My thing is, how was he searched twice and still couldn't find a gun on him? These are professionals searching him, too. That would be sloppy if a gun was just chillin' in the backseat.

I've been around some police work in my time, and you would not believe the places on a person that things can hide. You'lll start to think the human body has dimensional portals on it.

Also, how do you explain why they haven't released video of the moment Chavis supposedly shot himself...and why they didn't test the policemen, nor Chavis, for gunshot residue? Even IF Chavis committed suicide, there are certainly very fishy circumstances surrounding the situation.

A "slight backward and downward deviation" is in relation to the path of the bullet through his skull. From ear to ear. His head was tilted and the gun was angled against it. They are not talking about the direction the gun was pointing or whether the bullet ended up in the roof or floor board. There is a difference. The full coroners report is online and gives a lot more detail.

They don't do residue tests on any homicide or suicide victims. It's nothing new for them. That has been the Departments procedure for years.

"The lab's chief criminalist, Lisa Channell, told the AP that the testing can indicate whether a person was in an environment with gunshot residue, but "it cannot tell you whether the person pulled the trigger or not."

He had blood on his right hand anyways.


As far as the video is concerned, if they want to release it they will. They didn't have to give us what they already have anyways. I don't even think we need it at this point. There are multiple witnesses that were there that night. They all say the exact same thing. The police were no where near the car when the gun went off. The doors and windows were closed. He was in there by himself.

Again, if you have a theory that is different than him pulling the trigger I would really like to hear it. All the evidence is pointing to him shooting himself.

Ya when I started this thread I really thought something fishy went down but now there is enough evidence to me that he shot himself

 

[KALEL114]

When you first hear about it, it seems outrageous. I get why some believed something shady went down. Now that more and more evidence has come out, the more it makes sense and it doesn't seem shady at all. The police should be held accountable for missing the gun during the first search IMO. I believe a civil suit can't be far along either.

Would not surprise me
