Arrest warrants issued for three suspects in murder of Joshua Brown, who Dallas cops say was killed
Source: New York Daily News
Arrest warrants for capital murder have been issued for three suspects in connection with the fatal shooting of Joshua Brown, who testified in the Amber Guyger murder trial but was killed in a botched drug transaction, according to authorities.
Dallas cops said during a press conference on Tuesday that the three assailants traveled from Louisiana to buy drugs from Brown. A physical altercation ensued Friday, according to cops.
Brown shot suspect Jacquerious Mitchell in the chest before he was shot twice and killed by Mitchells accomplice Thaddeous Green, according to authorities.
Green and the third suspect Michael Mitchell remain at large, but Jacquerious Mitchell is in police custody at a Dallas-area hospital.

Two aggressive Dallas cops. One confidential informant. Hundreds of pounds of cocaine. Fifty-three drug traffickers busted. Sound too good to be true? It was.

(2,728 posts)Green and a third suspect, Michael Mitchell, 32, remain at large. Jacquerious Mitchell is in police custody at a Dallas hospital, where cops said he was in critical condition. Arrest warrants for capital murder have been issued for all three, police said.
How does your example of DPD corruption relate at all to this case?
wellst0nev0ter
(7,509 posts)hundreds of miles, to buy drugs, especially in that negligible quantity? The narrative put out by the Dallas police is patently ridiculous and frankly insulting.
Sapient Donkey
(1,568 posts)What is your theory on how they got the guy in the hospital to confess to being involved?
wellst0nev0ter
(7,509 posts)Sapient Donkey
(1,568 posts)But it was my understanding that they are claiming the amount of drugs being exchange was not a negligible amount. So everyone has the same information and understanding, I was trying to understand what you've heard and where. I am also curious about your theory as to how they got him to confess to it, not just reading an article so I can guess or assume your theory on this particular case.
wellst0nev0ter
(7,509 posts)I'm sure the alleged suspects could get more back in Louisiana.
This fairy tale being concocted is frankly insulting. It has been well documented that the police coerce confessions or make them up entirely out of whole cloth.
Sapient Donkey
(1,568 posts)would have you believe the people they claim are involved are the ones who did it? Is there anything any particular that would be enough to get you to think otherwise?

I personally don't think there is a conspiracy. I don't think his testimony mattered in the criminal trial, and I don't think it will matter in the civil trial.
Amber Guyger was her own worst witness in the trial. In spite of the sandbagging going on for her, the jury came to the correct verdict (at least in my opinion).

You can tell by their bank balance, their major, their uniform or profession, the color of their skin, their accent, what country they or their ancestors came from, who their brother or cousin is. It makes judgement really, really easy--no thinking required at all. "Look at his clothes, he must be a good, high-character person. And that person over there, look at his clothes, he's obviously poor and lazy."
(Actually, that cuts both ways. Just the dead TX officer was a Sikh, but that doesn't mean "he was a good person" any more than the fact that another cop's being black or Xian means *he* was a good person. But the Sikh had good character references, both before and after death, so it goes beyond something that "wearable".)

(18,570 posts)If cops are monsters, finr. We don't need to regret their passing as it is merely one less monster in the world nor should we grieve for the family as a monster is out of their lives.
Now if not all are monsters it would be very helpful to know how to tell the difference. Am I dealing with a monster or a good person who happens to be a cop? Or am I stuck dealing with cops like everybody else, individuals who I must observe and let their actions show the nature of their character?

I fully understand being skeptical and wanting to see whatever evidence they having and confirming it (that is how thing should work), but I am curious if you have anything in particular that you'd like to see to have you believe the investigators, or is it already a foregone conclusion that this was a hit by the Dallas PD and nothing will prove otherwise?

stopdiggin
(11,292 posts)stop with the "smearing the victim" crap. This "victim" was a drug dealer who attempted to kill another human being immediately before (and resulting in) his own death. So the rest of the world is suppose to ignore that, because now this individual is himself deceased? I think I will be saving most of my sympathies (and credulousness) for victims that are not also out killing other people.

When I learned that Brown was previously shot, I figured the DPD probably wasn't involved in his shooting. (Someone was killed in the nightclub shooting)
Is there proof that these guys are scapegoats???

(25,224 posts)I'm saying I didn't think the police were involved in his killing.
People on DU were saying: He was shot in front of PD HQ (Not true)
He was shot in the mouth as an omen to keep quiet. (He was not shot in the mouth)

(32,961 posts)"He says Thaddeous Green shot Joshua Brown two times," Moore said.
Moore said an autopsy performed on Brown showed that he suffered two bullet wounds to his lower extremities, including one that entered and exited his body and another that entered his body just below the spine, traveled up and damaged vital organs. https://abcnews.go.com/US/arrest-warrants-issued-suspects-killing-witness-amber-guyger/story?id=66140197

(62,444 posts)But another person in the fight was killed. Brown had told Botham Jean's family attorney that he was worried about testifying because the shooter in that incident and his accomplice are out on bail.
But, no, let's never mind the fact that Both Jean's family attorney said that Brown was afraid that someone was out to get him, and it wasn't the cops.

(3,185 posts)I was posting in another thread yesterday, trying to explain that the broad-brushing of all cops as corrupt (or "monsters" as Dream Girl puts it) is the same exact thought-process that animates racism. Some X are Y, therefore all X are Y.
I gave up in despair. None so blind as those who refuse to see, and all that.

Maybe he was trying to send a message...to anyone involved with that shooting..who knows... (A person has been charged with that shooting) But Brown expressed fear of getting shot due to the previous shooting. I don't know how I would dress in court if that had happened to me.

(1,568 posts)One thing I've asked those who jumped on Dallas PD hit theory, is what did he add to the story of Botham's murder that we didn't already know? Had he not been home that night, what would we not know that would be critical enough that it would have set Guyger free? I haven't got an answer yet, but maybe you know something that other don't. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on this.

Given the history and conduct of that police force and the conduct of many others, is the idea of them attempting to cover up or perpetuating violent crime really that outlandish? Ever heard of CRASH and the Rampart Scandal? You think things similar to that don't occur in other jurisdictions to this day?
MicaelS
(8,747 posts)To believe he was murdered by the DPD so soon after the trial. Someone doing this would know the finger would be pointed straight at the DPD.
Guyger had already admitted she killed Jean, it was only a question of her punishment and sentence. So IMO his testimony had little impact.
If he had been killed BEFORE he testified, then that would most assuredly been suspicious.
Humanist_Activist

(46,314 posts)Yes, I said it.
Brown was selling dope. Fact.
He shot another dope dealer. Fact.
The dope dealer's buddy (relative?) shot and killed Brown.
When the other two perps get busted, the case will be closed.
No "Dem cops iz ALL corrupt and kilt Brown!" bullshit.
Cops can be corrupt, even murderous.
(Just ask a buddy of mine who used to live in Baltimore)
But there is ZERO evidence the cops killed Brown, period.
