Look I am all about cops protecting themselves but this guy should have tasered or ask to lay on the ground before his life was taken.


ETA: didn’t have audio on did the cop ask him to get on the ground?if he did then FAFO applies

Didn't look like it to me.

I wouldn't rule out drugs being involved, though.

That or mental illness.

Either way, the officer had no choice.

Nah.

1. Not enough time for that.

2. Tasing is usually what happens when the perp is non-cooperative, but not posing an imminent threat. Resisting being cuffed ot running away or refusing to get on the ground.

This dude aggressively charged the officer, and remember, the whole incident was about him ramming construction vehicles with his car. He had already identified himself as being violent and erratic. Like someone else posted, he could have gotten the gun and shot the officer with it.

Got to use deadly force in that case.

To answer your question, Yes, that’s exactly what that was. Good shot!

Unfortunately 99% of the country does, and if he were black he could’ve been raping a 7 year old and constructing a nuclear bomb at the moment he was shot and every Wendy’s within 5 miles of the place would be burned down in a riot.

Video doesn't show what happened before. He was attacking other people before with shite in his car before police showed up and not acting rationally at all.

You don’t need audio to see him charging the trooper.

Not sure exactly what that is, but it saved the taxpayers three hots and a cot, so I'm all for it.

This guy did the ultimate stupid thing and won the ultimate stupid prize.

I hate it for the trooper who had and has to endure this traumatic experience.

Do you think what the perp did before the shooting deserved the death penalty?

But then I stop and think, I probably would've offed the guy too & the cop has just as much right to self defense as I do.

I think what the perp did immediately before the shooting deserved lead.

As a retired LEO I can tell you you should sit this one out. The perp was completely out of control and had a weapon (not sure what it was) in his hand. The average person thinks just b/c the officer has a taser that is the answer. The perp was obviously on some sort of drug or mental/crazy, and was out of control. He was told multiple times to stop and he failed to obey any commands. The officer did his job and didn't let the perp get too close to disarm him. You don't use a taser against an out of control perp with a weapon in hand that is charging you.

As posted prior, good shoot and good riddance.

Watch the first 2.5 minutes of this youtube video. Lunatic attacked two Washington dot workers prior to running across I-5.
