No shite?

Your only proof of that is that the cop shot. The driver did nothing wrong and he had no reason to assume what he did would get him shot. Do you think the driver thought he was doing anything threatening?

i'm still wondering why the truck driver wasn't shot.
Evidently he deserved some lead injection as well.

Ok, since you're set on being a dumb motherfricker...

At what point was the wallet pointed at the officer?

Every single routine traffic stop I have been involved with includes the officer reaching for his firearm when I reach for my license and ID. For the record, I'm a middle aged white guy in a newer 4 door sedan.


I don't believe you

Well for the sake of this discussion, tell me what other reason makes sense for why the officer shot the man? What's the most logical reason for the officer shooting the man?

No clue what the cop ordered him to do prior to video but exiting the vehicle with a wallet or anything in hand is dumb.

How could he have possibly known that BEFORE exiting the vehicle?


he saw the truck driver walking towards the cop with his wallet and paperwork and figured "hey,it's time. Let's do this"

bam bam, pew pew pew

Pecker doesn't know shite about the law, SFP. He's trolling and making things up as he goes.

Is an officer required to wait for a gun to be pointed at him for him to determine it is a threat?

If the officer could not distinguish between a gun and a wallet, do you think he'd be able to determine whether or not the object was actually pointed at him or not?

According to you, cops are always stressed and threatened... so they can shoot at any time no matter what the circumstance.

Why did the officer shoot the man? If I know so little and am making bad arguments, why aren't you refuting them with ease?

well that's a great system

we pay the salaries of cops and must assume they're on edge and a threat to kill us for nothing

sounds reasonable


apparently the logical thing to do is assume a cop is going to shoot you over holding your wallet.

somehow, despite repeatedly admitting the cop fricked up, Pecker is finding a way to blame the guy who was shot- for exiting his vehicle with a wallet in his hand, after a fender bender.

Some people just can't see the forest for the trees. He is caught up in semantics and specifics, when he should be using common sense- it's cold and wet, dude is in car. Cops arrive, dude needs to exit vehicle. Cop will need ID, so dude has his wallet in his hand. Gets shot over attempting to be proactive, and have his ID ready.

For it to be a crime you would need to prove that he did not feel threatened and shot the victim for reasons not related to his feeling threatened. A motive would have to be established.

Don't you just have to proof that his belief was not reasonable?

His goddamn hand were up.


I've been on plenty of scenes with armed parties. I've only shot once.

I've refuted all of your retardness. The cop argued that he reasonably feared for his life. That's not up for debate here.

he clearly overreacted. that likely eliminates intent issues

that doesn't mean he's absolved from potential criminal liability

I think stress comes into play. It's not unreasonable to assume it could factor in to poor decision-making.

Do you disagree? I know you don't because you said as much on a previous post.

You are not allowed to ask SFP any more questions.

Idk, the guy just had a wallet in his hand.

Maybe the officer was all hopped up on mountain dew. Maybe he'd just had an argument with his wife and was on edge. Maybe he's a veteran and PTSD kicked in. We don't know. What we do know is that the cop wrongfully shot a man.
