They recieve training.

So?

Have you?

I'm a similar size to the dead guy, $100 bucks you couldn't stop me from putting a finger in your arse much less stop me from reaching for my pocket.

Why are people continuing to run with the narrative that he was going for his gun? There is nothing at this point to show he was going for his gun.

Any OT LEO's have any updates? My neighbor is a BR cop, and he urged us to avoid the Mall of LA right now?

The same reason people went with the narrative that Mike Brown had his hands up. Witnesses say so. Stay tuned to find out if it turns out to be true or not.

FWIW, I work in NBR about 3 miles from the incident. Starting to get a little cloudy with a some thunder. Very eerie feeling here. Have heard police sirens off and on for some time now.


So, just another day at the office then?

Because there's nothing that shows he wasn't, either. Couple that with the fact that he was actually carrying a weapon and had resisted arrest? You have a somewhat reasonable assumption.

You don't have to be chuck Lindell to able to handle basic detaining methods.

don't know how many shots it took to stop him. That part wasn't on video


It has been confirmed that he was shot several times by the city. Witnesses say they heard at least six shots. It was point blank so I am not pulling that out of my arse.

That's not how it works in court. But I doubt this case will ever make it to court . But I will show you that only if you can show me that Santa Claus does not sneak down your chimney on Christmas eve the minute you go to sleep.

This goes back to my point about the decision to tackle him. You've made it clear this was a tactic that is difficult to execute on a man that size. If you know that man also has a gun and is disregarding your commands and your Taser, is tackling him a wise choice?

- You believe he has a weapon
- You have seem him completely disregard two Tasers
- You see how large he is
- He's shown no signs he plans to listen to you
- He's not actively pursuing you or fighting you

I'm sorry but I fail to see the logic in tackling him at that point.
