(708 posts)As for "planting" GSR, that's not really possible, honestly.
GSR involves more than just some sprinking of dust. In actuality, GSR usually actually slightly burns into skin, and typically leaves microscopic burn marks in clothing. So I can't just take some bit of cordite and sprinkle it onto your hands and that is somehow "proof" that you have fired a gun. There are "snap" chemical tests to determine if you have fired a gun with a quick swab (what you usually see on TV), but a real GSR test requires a microscope and more.
And regardless, this passed ridiculous about four exits back. First the gun was planted, then the bullets were planted, then the bullets that were fired from that gun were planted, then the GSR was planted, then the pictures taken a year before were somehow planted ....
This is asinine. The evidence is there, clear, and well-beyond anything that could possibly be some grand conspiracy to anyone but the most deranged, tinfoil-hatted individuals on the planet. Vonderrick Myers had a gun, one he had had for a long time, and he shot at a cop who was chasing him. He lost a gunfight. Simple as that.
