Family files wrongful death lawsuit after FL college student shot 5 times by Hancock deputy

What good are body cameras if they can just never show the footage? This killing is outrageous and at the same time so damned commonplace.
- I take it you're aware of the Miranda warning which notifies a person of their first amendment right? Well there's a bit in there that's implied that I don't think the general public really knows:
  "Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law" but what they don't say is it will never be used in your defense. If they can avoid giving video during discovery they won't, in many states they're not even public.
  
  They don’t have to say the Miranda anymore. Technically they are supposed to but scotus ruled it not constitutionally protected in June 2022.
What the fuck is wrong with America.
- Pretty much everything you can imagine.
  
  So far.
That’s not what happened.
Chase Blackwell was a sheriffs deputy in Hancock county, Mississippi. He murdered a Florida college student outside of a home in Perkinston, Mississippi.
They have not released the body cam footage to anyone and Chase Blackwell resigned from the Hancock County Sheriffs department for “some personal issues within the office”
