[jewozzy]

I remember reading about that case in class. Sad, sad fucking case. It turned my view of cops almost immediately

[ThreeFingerPete]

that wasnt the scenario...

Which part was inaccurate?

"They called for backup, but he goes out by himself without backup. Backup came almost immediately after the shooting.

You're right. If his task was to kill an unarmed dude who hadn't actually committed any crimes at the time of the shooting, he was spot on!

play stupid games win stupid prizes

If an average sized civilian male was walking down the street and was almost accosted by an unarmed dude, at which point he shot and killed him, he'd be going to jail. Do you dispute that?

Considering that backup arrived "immediately" after the shooting, apparently he had backup nearby.

And the supreme court has ruled that the Police are not actually required to do a fucking thing for the populace. I'm guessing that it's just the warm and fuzzies that keep most cops doing the job.

where did you see that?

[ThreeFingerPete]

he didn't have a taser, nightstick, or mace... he took the only tool he had and it was effective.

If "shots fired" is broadcast over the radio, you will have every unit in the county on scene in 10 minutes.

First off, you're not "forced" to do a fucking thing. And if you're a piggly wiggly, you should know not to walk into a situation outmanned. That's why police tend to show up in numbers. Ya dig?

I sure as hell wouldn't have walked out pointing a gun at a visibly unarmed 150lb dude. Taser? Sure. Night stick? why not. Gun? Are you fucking serious?

seriously! Why go to the gun when you can have the pleasure of lighting that motherfucker up!?!? and pepper spray his fuckin cock!

He probably had no back up. Believe it or not, yes, cops HAVE to go out on confront people. Are you high? That is the job, not sit back and wait for someone to save them.

Once again, the police don't get to call 911 when the shit goes down, they ARE 911.

This officer was FORCED to go outside? Alone? He had nothing on him but a pistol and was forced to go outside. Couldn't (if he was alone) call the city for backup?

What would you have done as a citizen if he beat on your windows and you were forced to go outside and confront him?
