Man Ran Over By Suge Knight Says He’s Not Snitching

SugeKnightcourt5

 As the Suge Knight Saga continues, one of the men that that was run over by Knight at a Compton burger joint says that he’s not going to “snitch” on the former Death Row label owner. 

Even though there is surveillance video of Suge Knight running over two men in his red pickup truck, “Bone” says he’s not talking.

Being as though there is pretty concrete evidence of the hit and run which left one man dead, I wonder how this case will play out.

By personal experience I know that once the State or Federal prosecutors pick up a case, they are pretty much going after you whether the victim approves or not. Jesus Christ (himself) would have to come down off the cross to save you once they have video evidence of a crime being committed.

This is definitely still a big positive for Suge’s defense but we will see how the court responds… 

Stay tuned to The Pen Hustler…

Via TMZ:

The man who got run over by Suge Knight, and survived, tearfully testified in court that he would not “snitch” and help prosecutors put Suge in prison.

Cle “Bone” Sloan was called to the stand during Suge’s preliminary hearing Monday AM, and the prosecutor raised the topic of snitching.

Sloan got emotional and declared he “doesn’t want to be used to send this man to prison.” He added, “I screwed up and Terry’s dead.”

It’s amazing … the guy who was laid up for weeks with broken bones from Suge plowing over him — took the stand and tried to take the blame for Terry Carter’s death … seemingly taking some heat off Suge.

But what Bone giveth he taketh away, because by saying he wouldn’t snitch and help put Suge in prison, by definition he’s saying Suge did bad things that should land him in the big house.

Police said a woman who was wearing no pants and highly intoxicated was arrested around 1 a.m. Friday in Dayton, OH while outside banging on an apartment door.

The woman is in the Montgomery County Jail, facing public indecency and disorderly conduct charges. She’s identified as Ashley Sturgill, 27.

According to the Dayton Police report, they were called about a suspicious person complaint with possible sex acts involved.

The officers found Sturgill loudly banging on a door where, it was later determined, she was no longer welcome because of her behavior.

Police tried to get the woman to put on her pants, located on the ground nearby. Instead, the officer reports the woman picked up a white garbage bag, full of trash, and tried to put it on like pants. In the process, she reportedly cut her foot on broken glass.

The wound was photographed to log her injury, then Sturgill was taken to jail, with pants on.

Should Police Wear Body Cameras?

Law enforcement critics see police body worn cameras as a solution for brutality.

How much do police body cameras cost?

Their absence has led to questions. Like what was said in the moments before South Carolina police officer Michael Slager shot and killed Walter Scott earlier this month. Or what happened at all when Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson shot unarmed teen Michael Brown last August. (Video via The New York Times)

Police body-worn cameras are hailed by law enforcement critics as a solution for brutality and by many police officers themselves as a tool to prove the vast majority of men and women wearing badges do so professionally, and at times valiantly. But how much do they cost?

After all, a 2013 study conducted by the Police Executive Research Forum — or PERF — and supported by the Justice Department found that of the departments surveyed without body cameras, 39 percent cited cost as the primary reason.

One company VieVU advertises its police body cameras cost $199, plus $55 a month per camera for data storage. For a police department wanting 100 cameras, that comes out to about $86,000 in startup costs in the first year.

But that appears to be on the on the cheap side and only the beginning of costs. PERF found most of the police departments with body cameras reported buying them at $800-$1,200 each. (Video via RT)

Data storage takes up the bulk of police expenses. Departments have to decide a policy for how often their officers turn on the cameras, how long videos are kept and do they pay a third party provider to store the data? Or do they keep those operations in-house — often the more costly option because it requires purchasing more equipment and hiring additional people to administer the program and provide technical backup.

One police chief told the PERF study data storage costs “can be crippling.”

But certainly far less crippling than other law enforcement costs like fleets of police vehicles, which cost tens of thousands of dollars to purchase before paying for maintenance. And those are tools few, if any, police chiefs would argue their department could do without. (Video via General Motors)

Body camera manufacturers and proponents also point out the cameras can help avoid wasted expenses if a conviction is thrown out or a lawsuit is filed because of alleged police misconduct. (Video via Pro-Vision)

President Obama has proposed $75 million in funding over three years to help purchase 50,000 body cameras. The federal government would basically provide local police departments with a 50 percent match to buy the cameras and store data. (Video via WOOD)

And while startup funds are great, many police officials could argue it’s locking them into a much larger commitment. This is a piece of equipment those officials probably can’t cut from future budgets without enormous outrage from the community.
