These pigs need to be in prison...or dead.

Energy? We're all just in here giving our opinions on a topic. Isn't that what The Back Porch is for?

Not singling any one person out, but there has been way more than opion shared here. I appreciate where the passion comes from, but at the end of the day, is anything/anyone better for it?

I agree that the BP is for sharing your pov/opion, but it occurs to me that in matters so serious as this that the efforts put forth to "share your opinion(s)" on this incident could have tangible effects for good if they were directed as such.

You mean like intentionally "playing devil's advocate," and continuing to defend your categorically incorrect stance?

Admittedly, when the posts start getting really long and people start berating one another, I pretty much don't read em.

My opinion is right, your opinion is wrong!

Why invest so much energy in this on a public message board? Why not put said energy into something legitimately productive, into something that can REALLY affect a better outcome for future incidents?

You're still here running your head? Like Dave said, they are not going to get the jump when both of them already have their pistols and lasers aimed at them. You can take that perfect storm theory and shove it up your ass. That was plain murder.

Oh Henry, you know everyone is a quick draw expert and this place is no different than Afghanistan.

FUCK YOUR OPINION, and GET OFF MY PORCH!

Keyboard warrioring(yes I made up a word) does nothing to bring this person's life back or right the wrong(s). Why invest so much energy in this on a public message board?

I think that might be stretching it a little. I doubt they entered into the situation eager to willfully commit murder. That train of thought is a bit too radical for my taste. I think it was a perfect storm of bad info provided by the dispatcher to the responding officers, poor police training, poor critical thinking, nerves, and Zeferino's failure to keep his hands up when ordered.

Good for you.

Thanks.

These dbags wanted to kill the kid. There's no other reason.

Good for you.

But failure to comply with law enforcement's orders is not punishable by death. There were other options than killing him. Taze him for not complying. If the man pulled a weapon he was not going to get the jump on both officers with their weapons already drawn and aimed. These dbags wanted to kill the kid. There's no other reason.

Those two police officer were judge, jury and executioner.

[Juiced4v]

This is what was going through my mind when sorry ass CPD pulled me over.

[CexMashean]

Am I the only one around here who has no strong feelings either way about this?

Cute.

I don't drink.

Just being the devil's advocate.

I got pulled over Saturday around 0300. I keep a pistol under my steering wheel and I told the officer about it immediately. He said don't reach for yours and I wont reach for mine. I announced all of my movements before I moved. This has happened every time I have been pulled over. I always make it out alive somehow.

[SSMAN]

Why cant kids now days just do what they are told?

Bad shooting either way, but also the kid played stupid games....
