KingRevolver Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Shooting a homeless man... They always use the "he went for the gun" excuse. I didn't see it. [video=youtube;YO0FG4-tMe8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO0FG4-tMe8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escambo Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Disgusting. Where are they recruiting cops from? Is there special consideration for sociopaths? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yanks Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Guy was on the ground with 5 cops on him. Sounded like he was being tased. And then they shoot him. That's some bullshit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol Diabler Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I'm probably in the minority with this crowd, but I have little or no sympathy for these idiots that get shot while resisting arrest.

Sol Diabler Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Listen to the man. You do that. You seldom have issues Yup. Any time you resist and force an officer into an altercation, it brings judgement into the equation. Not a good idea to put that judgment into the hands of a cop who might have an itchy trigger finger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The X Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 If the guy was homeless. Chances are he was a junkie. And hopped up.But cops should already know that going in. That's why you call for back up. And clearly there was plenty of it. 6 on 1 with tasers, nightsticks and pepper spray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyL Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I lost a friend who was a police officer involved in an incident like this with someone that was obviously mentally unstable. Unfortunately, backup didn't get there soon enough so he was 1-v-1 with the guy, and unfortunately the other guy was able to get ahold of his gun and shoot him in the head. Officer Smith (my friend) was neither a "pussy" or someone that deserved to be "hated", he was simply doing his job and in hindsight made a bad decision by not using more force. To me, this whole thing is just a shitty situation all the way around and it's tough to play MMQB with never having walked in the shoes of a police officer in such a situation.

Sol Diabler Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 You do realize some people are mentally ill? Yup. Some people given a shitty hand in life to deal with. Its too bad. But if you go for an officers gun, no good will come of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest boatboatboat Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I often see a US vs Them mentality when the topic of law enforcement is discussed. Seeing a video like that makes it easy to see why. If it turns out that the guy killed had a gun or what looked like a gun or grabbed for an officers gun the story will end. No one will chime in and say "oh my bad, I didn't t have all the facts". But if it turns out to be as bad as it looked on tape, it will be discussed for days/weeks/mths. (as it should) I guess the point is, our officers have a difficult job to do. For every tape like that there are 10,000 situations where an officer helps a person, saves a live, stops someone from harming another. Goes out of their way after a shift to talk with someone needing a ear and a shoulder. Never a you tube video of that, and if there were no one would care. Also in the tape above we don't see what started it all. Does that make shooting him justifiable=NO. But it would allow us to understand why the situation or how it got to where it did. Officers just don't sit around eating doughnuts pick a person out of the crowd and say "let's go wack him". Young people are seldom taught any longer to respect authority be it police, school officials or elders. Sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVU Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 cops should carry smart guns that can only be fired by the owner. That would help tremendously whenever there is a struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
