Princess Celestia Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 http://www.classwarfareexists.com/cop-teaches-mans-son-a-lesson-by-shooting-him-dead/ All over a pack of cigarettes... Shoot the man's son for stealing his father's truck to get cigs. Police chasing him through campus areas... I really don't like the police in my state's capital right now...

Princess Celestia Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 I'm not saying that. But they made some mistakes there. They should be held accountable for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youthedog Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 he probably will be, but the kid shouldn't have revved the engine, can be seen as a threat also it's not even been a day and you except him to be reprimanded 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Celestia Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Nah, I'm a patient person. I can understand the position they were in but it all went to shit. Mistakes were made on both sides, but I'll concede that. Still, over a pack of smokes... That's what gets me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arezk Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 All I can say is 9 bullets to kill a man with a pocket knife that was not a serious threat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inc Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 All I can say is 9 bullets to kill a man with a pocket knife that was not a serious threat. define serious threat put yourself in that situation are you sure its a pocket knife? are you sure hes not on pcp or something? even if you could identify it as a pocket knife, the attacker could go for the throat you shoot til the target stops moving. if that takes 9 shots then it takes 9 shots. youre protecting yourself and possibly fellow officers from a potentially life threatening situation its a highly sensationalized article anyway, it paints the cop as a bad guy and basically forms your opinion for you. whether the cop was right or wrong isn't something i have the time to research or the information to form and opinion and im sure the cop isnt sure whether he was right or wrong either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Police use what is called an escalation of force system. The military uses it as well. If there is a need to escalate force to subdue/stop a threat to themselves or to others, they will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets recorded on video, probably the only reason the cop gets arrested for murder, how much get away with this.
