I didn't say they are trained to wound, but they shoot center mass until there is no longer a threat. That doesn't necessarily imply you must kill the suspect. It is a common misconception, but it is important to note. If the suspect is no longer a threat, you cannot finish him off just because you're supposed to shoot to kill.


Well yeah they are not going to execute someone. But in some kind of situation they will not be aiming to just to bust your legs.

My cc teacher told me the best advice A dead suspect cant make up a story to make you look guilty. CC teaches you to shoot to kill.

Nah man, it's like the movies, they can turn around just in the nick of time and finish him off after he picks his gun up.

The situation is cut and dry. shite bag illegally armed thug resists multiple times and gets killed. I'm over tap dancing around it. frick him, and apparently frick you for questioning the officers' actions all day. You've said you want to understand, but you don't.


Why so defensive?

Not sure if him being an idiot or his past justifies his fatal ending though. Just because you don't value his life from his prior mistakes doesn't mean he exactly deserved to die or had to be.. but perhaps it was necessary.. Nothing wrong with gathering all the facts and questioning each incident.. You don't have to take it so personal.

Seeing his 15 year old son break down is absolutely devastating to see.

Any ways he definitely has a long rap sheet, but not sure of how recent.

quote:

In yet another case, Sterling was accused of entering a man’s house and demanding money. He then pushed and shoved the man, “tearing up furniture” and then others arrived to help destroy items, including appliances, the court affidavit says. The court record says that a police officer stopped Sterling, who said he had “tore up the apartment” because the victim had stolen his money. He gave his name as “Otis Deesnuts” and made a reference to a killing and having a barbecue, court records say.

Has Obama made comment about the shooting? He loves to stir up racial tension.


Yes, he does. Seems like we have regressed with race relations.

Correct.

They also have a map via GPS that allows you to zoom and see where people are.

And a dead suspect can also not tell the truth. We've seen that happen a few times . Not saying that is the case here.

I'm sorry his son is sad. That has no bearing on his dad being a piece of shite human that made several decisions that directly caused his own death. But way to let emotion get in the way of facts.

Seems all the protesting is right in front of the store the shooting happened at.
