quote:

A police officer fired the bullet that killed a crewmember of the long-running TV show Cops when officers responded to a robbery call, Omaha police said Wednesday.

The crewmember was identified as Bryce Dion, 38, who was working as the sound technician when he was killed Tuesday night by what Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer called "friendly fire." The other member of the Cops crew, cameraman Michael Lee, was unharmed.

quote:

In June, Schmaderer explained that he wanted Cops to film his department in action to put "the professionalism of our officers on display for the city and the world to see," according to the Omaha World-Herald.

I like to imagine another sound guy swooping in to pick up the fallen boom like a civil war soldier picking up a fallen flag.

I wonder if they will posthumously charge the criminal with murder for creating a situation which resulted in the death of a bystander-thus absolving the actual killer of any responsibility

They can do this easily if whatever crime he was committing was a felony.

This happened 1 block from where my dad lived when I was a kid. That Wendy's gets robbed all the time. When I was a kid, my dad and I helped identify someone who robbed them. We got free Wendy's for a month as a reward. I didn't really like their burgers, but a free Frosty every day for a month was pretty cool.

Too bad the guy died, but I guess it's kinda cool that COPS is filming here.

I like the gawker link better for the story it tells (does not mention the airsoft thing)
http://gawker.com/cops-audio-technician-killed-by-police-gunfire-during-s-1627508703

quote:

According to the Omaha World-Herald, at least 30 shots were fired in the shootout.

quote:

Officials believe that all of the shots fired came from police, according to the World-Herald.

I don't think it qualifies as a shootout when only one side is firing wildly at the other (and hitting their own)

Ah, so they've progressed from shooting people with their hands up to shooting people in their own crew. Possibly progress, but not so sure....

Guy they wanted to shoot had an airsoft gun to rob a Wendy's. How a sound mike operator gets between cops with guns drawn and a guy about to be shot is amazing.

With all the crime scenes these guys have been at they could have pinned anything on him. I demand at least an attempt at a coverup.
