At first glance it seems obvious that it is not possible to shoot yourself with your hands handcuffed behind your back.
The police vehicle with no video running looks like a cover-up.
I read all the forum comments and read the one directing you to a video showing how to get out of handcuffs.
Yes, that's possible.
One way, to bring handcuffs under your legs.
Another is to use wristband or watch buckle as a pointer to poke in the lock.
A person who is out planning to commit a crime or carrying a gun or with a history of being arrested may already have thought out a worst case scenario escape plan.
Why would the arrested person shoot themselves in the face?
Lots of desperate people commit suicide after a crime. Why? Maybe to avoid facing the consequences. (Arrest. Prison.) Or because they are highly emotional with mood swings. Or don't think of the long-term effects. Or are bad loses. To deprive the cops/victims the satisfaction of winning. Or by accident - gun goes off. They are trigger happy. Shot bystanders. Hunters shoot friends, family, themselves, bystanders. Even the trained police have been known to shoot themselves in the foot or head.
So far, we have arguments for both sides.
The indisputable fact in the case I read was that the police vehicle video was not running.
What lesson can be learned by independent outsiders. What can be demanded and changed by all three interested parties (cops, robbers and independent outsides)?
To have the video running.
How can we ensure that?
Let's look at what's done already.
In planes you have a black box running all the time. Can't be switched off.
Seatbelt reminds. Either bleep all the time the car runs without seat belts done up to remind driver who is willing to comply but simply forgot.
Or a verbal reminder.
That's it - my thought for the day on a problem and a solution. Adios.
