Officer who took Coon photo suspended:
The Cleveland police officer who took the cellphone picture of Asa Coon after he committed suicide has been suspended for 8 days as of Monday.
Patrolman Walter Emerick, a 12-year veteran, admitted shooting the photo of Asa Coon, 14, in a hearing with Police Chief Michael McGrath, said Safety Director Martin Flask. Coon committed suicide after shooting four others in SuccessTech Academy Oct. 10.
No word if that was without pay or not.
Photo of Asa Coon’s body taken by Cleveland policeman:
The infamous photo of Asa Coon that was taken after he committed suicide was taken by Cleveland police officer Walter Emerick. He admitted to taking the photo with his cell phone and sending it to other people but claims that he did not post it on the internet. If those other people were outside of the investigation then what did he expect to happen?
Steve Loomis, the Cleveland police union president, said the union does not condone a crime-scene photo being posted on the Internet.
But officers have legitimate reasons to take pictures of crime scenes in order to recall what they saw, he said. Emerick took other images that were not posted.
Which is a legitimate reason but if he was sending it out to people for no legitimate reason Officer Emereick should be disciplined.
Disturbing Asa Coon photo on Internet:
It seems that all the ghouls are out just in time for Halloween.
Someone at the scene of Asa Coon’s suicide apparently had taken a picture of his corpse. Of course, the internet being what it is the picture of Asa Coon’s bloody body is already making its rounds. I haven’t even posted this yet and I’m already getting hits from the ghouls look for the picture. Guess what Sunshine. It isn’t here. It never will be here. As much as I think that the kid was an idiot for doing what he did I would never in good conscience post the picture of his corpse. All the cretins that are looking for this picture are probably are the same ones who got off on watching the victims of 9/11 fall from the towers and would probably run home crying to mommy if they ever came in a contact with a real dead body. So cream your jeans over your gore porn you sick fucks. One day it might be your bloody corpse that some jackass is getting his lulz from.
