Thursday, August 12, 2010 5:40 PM MARYSVILLE, Ohio — New video released on Thursday from a cruiser’s dash camera showed the shooting death of a man who led officers from three agencies on a chase. Video from the Union County Sheriff’s Office shows deputies following Rickie Diamond Jr. during a 25-minute pursuit on Tuesday night, 10TV’s Kevin Landers reported. Deputies, along with Marysville Police officers and Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers, joined in the pursuit of Diamond, who was wanted for questioning in connection with a domestic dispute. Diamond had been involved in a fight with his father at a home in the northern part of the county, Landers reported. Deputies tried to use stop sticks to stop Diamond’s pickup, and one point he blew out a back tire. That is when a deputy closed in, ramming the pickup, Landers reported. Video from inside a Marysville Police cruiser showed Diamond exiting his pickup with a shotgun. Deputies said Diamond opened fire on them. They returned fire, hitting Diamond four times and killing him, a coroner said. The officers involved the shooting were all placed on paid administrative leave during the investigation, which is standard procedure.

The chase …
WHAT?? A cop can tell you to disarm at any time, and if you pull a gun, the cop will fill you with lead regardless of whether you POINT it at him or not. Who taught you about the law? Whoever it was, that person is completely lost in NRA babble about amendment rights and you have just demonstrated a complete and utter lack of ability to put yourself in a police officer’s shoes.
@ChrJahnsen while a local ordinance may claim a cop can tell you to disarm at any time, the Constitution is clear that “…the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” This was not invented by the NRA but our founding fathers in the Bill of Rights. Our rights or not given to us by man, or hired government mercenaries aka police. They are given to us by our Creator. As sovereign beings police have no right to do anything to us that would be unlawful for someone else.
@DoNotTreadOnME2012 A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Was he part of a well regulated militia? didnt think so, and there is no creator, so… fuck off.
the police had the right to defend themselves. He was shooting at them.
@cobarnhart If police shoot at you do you have a right to shoot back?
@Korexican2209 it says the right for the People to keep and bear arms is necessary for a well regulated militia, not the other way around! You have it backwards. Also, the Declaration of Independence says we have a creator… We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness… so fuck off
@Korexican2209 Or I should say if the police pull a gun on you do you have the right to shoot back? I mean nobody is above the law, and we are all equal under the law right???
Damn, I’m the cop that Son of B*TCH fired at me? What should I do? THROW THAT GUY SOME PARTY?!?!?! A BULLET WON’T BE ENOUGH FOR ME IF I WAS THERE!!!
he didnt point it at the deputies? 1:01 i think i just might be blind.
shit dude i live here. 0_0
@Korexican2209 chill out you have no proof of us not having a Creator
@krgrubbs your a true dumbass my dad is a police officer for marysville and i guarentee that he shot because they had to take down a stop sign for evidence
@krgrubbs google tennessee v. garner case law. it’s not about firing back it’s about the officer believing that he or she is in a position where their life is in jeopardy. same goes for any civilian in the same predicament…
@Mikcarroll Some people are suicidal, not murderous. I believe he was just unhappy with himself. It happens.
@Warbux2112 That was cold hearted, that was somebody’s son, brother, cousin, etc. I believe he knew what he was doing and getting into.
@krgrubbs I see your point, I’m telling on myself again!!
@Death2AllSporks the opposite applies, you have no proof of a creator either, in fact, all science votes in our favour.
1:25 what’s with the bald cop, what does he see that must take off running in the other direction?
@jeffdaharper its called the bible, dumbass, im pretty sure the universe couldnt be formed just so perfectly from a huge explosion.
@Death2AllSporks The Bible is not scientific proof. It’s a collection of stories. Based on that thinking Lord of The Rings will be treated as fact in a few hundred years.
@jeffdaharper Well, that is why we have FAITH, otherwise we’d be having these lame ass theories such as the “big bang”
@Death2AllSporks I have faith that Trolls and Goblins really exsist, you must believe me or you will offend me. I have faith that the world will end at 2pm on 28/5/2055. You cannot deny my faith and I have the right to say that I am totally and utterly correct and you cannot deny my faith. The Faith defence is so lame. The one good thing about a theory is that it’s a theory. It open to being challenged by scientific fact. Faith does not allow competing arguments.
I knew this cat….. tis a shame he didn’t straighten up before it was too late
@jeffdaharper Yeah that scientific fact about how we died in the year 2000 and the scientific fact about how we were supposed to die in the year 2004. I can see why you’d like to you use science as you support
@Death2AllSporks Once again, you are confusing facts with theories. Science deals in theories till proven, then they become fact. But then even then, advances in science calls into questions facts, and the cycle begins again. Faith does not evolve this way, it’s a take it or leave it “Get out of Jail Free” card played by people with no ability to defend their statements. You forgot t that science also thought the earth was flat and the sun revolved around the earth.
