Vallejo Cops Investigate Themselves & Find that Cop Didn't Say Nigger. He Just Said "I'll Fucking Blow You Away" - a Felony Threat

Felony Threat Public Service To You. From [HERE] An internal investigation found no evidence that a police officer used a racial slur against a carjacking suspect during a traffic stop Saturday afternoon, Vallejo police said Monday.

Sunday, police said that a white resident who recorded the traffic stop on their cell phone claimed a Vallejo police officer used the “N-word” during an initial contact with the suspect. The white man who recorded it thought he heard the cop say "hey nigger you understand if you won't take it I'll fucking blow you away." However, the audio on therecording is not clear. The investigation does not dispute that the cop said I'll fucking blow you away, which is a felony threat in most states. For example in DC the jury instruction explains: 

B.-- THREATENING TO KIDNAP OR INJURE A PERSON OR DAMAGE HIS PROPERTY (FELONY THREATS--D.C. CODE § 22-1810) The elements of threats, each of which the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt, are that:

1. [Name of defendant] [spoke words heard by] [wrote words in [a letter] [an email] received by] [otherwise communicated to] [name of recipient] [name of target] [another person];

2. The [words [name of defendant] spoke/wrote] [symbol [name of defendant] used] would cause a person reasonably to believe that [[s/he] [name of target] would be [kidnapped] [seriously 3 harmed]] [[his/her property] [name of target's property] would be damaged] [if [name of event] occurred]; and

3. [Name of defendant] intended [name of recipient] [name of target] to believe that [[s/he] [name of target] would be [kidnapped] [seriously harmed]] [[his/her property] [name of target's property] would be damaged] [if [name of event] occurred].

The government is not required to prove that [name of defendant] intended to carry out the threat. [It is not necessary that the intended victim actually heard the words, or learned about them.] In considering whether the government has proved beyond a reasonable doubt that [name of defendant] threatened [name of target], you should consider all the evidence, including the circumstances under which the words were spoken/written; facial expression, body language, tone and inflection, punctuation, and other ways of giving words meaning; and the nature of the relationship between the parties.

At any rate it the cop's language & behavior was definitely not good public service from a public servant. 

After the allegations, Police Chief Andrew Bidou ordered an immediate investigation of the incident, and the accused officer was placed on leave pending the outcome.

“Interviews were conducted of the occupants of the vehicle who were both Hispanic,” police said in a news release.

“The driver of the vehicle denied that the officer used any racial slurs and specifically denied that the officer used the ‘N-word,'” police said.

“The passenger of the vehicle, David Plancarte, was arrested in connection with an armed carjacking and refused to give a statement,” police said.

Vallejo police were eventually able to obtain an original copy of the video from the resident who made the recording. In the video the officer can be heard clearly saying ‘Hey David’ where the ‘N-word’ was thought to have been heard, according to police. [Because David rhymes with nigger?] 

“The internal affairs investigation continues regarding the officer’s use of profanity. The Vallejo Police Department is fully confident that no racial slur was used,” Vallejo police said.

While the investigation continues, the officer who was initially placed on leave is scheduled to return to work this week, according to Lieutenant Jeff Bassett.
