Said the cop was going in and out of consciousness and I think they said he was unconscious when medical arrived

Maybe Im different but I dont think shooting the guy was necessary

Look I'm all about frick the police but the cop was within his rights and the people filming should be charged with obstruction of justice. They distracted the cop allowing the drunk to gain position.

That article is missing important information.

quote:
Detectives interviewed witnesses, studied two cellphone videos shot by bystanders and obtained surveillance videos from area businesses. They also took photos of a taxicab driver allegedly assaulted by Bruno moments before Hubbard’s attempted arrest of Bruno devolved into a fatal struggle.
quote:
They wanted the cabdriver to take Anthony Bruno’s cousin home, but an argument began on how much that would cost — the meter kept running as they discussed it — and whether the cabdriver could leave the cousin on the street instead of taking him home.
Stephanie Bruno told police the cabdriver kept increasing the fare, used a derogatory word toward her and threw money back in her face.
quote:
“That’s when my husband got out of the taxi and began hitting the taxicab driver,” Stephanie Bruno told police.
She yelled at her husband to stop, she said. He quit and walked away. She stayed with Anthony’s cousin, as three men were approaching the taxi to protect the driver. The three men nearly started another fight, she said.
quote:
“Throughout my entire contact with the suspect, I gave him numerous verbal commands to give me his hands and to stop resisting,” Hubbard told detectives later. “In my attempts to place handcuffs on the suspect, he continued to resist and we eventually went to the ground.”
At one point, Hubbard put Bruno in a neck restraint and thought Bruno had given up. But then Bruno began resisting again, trying to stand while holding onto Hubbard.
quote:
“I don’t know how many times he struck me, but I started to black out and saw lines across my eyes. He continued to strike me and I started to lose consciousness and I believed the suspect was not going to stop hitting me until he killed me.
quote:
“I feared for my life and I drew my weapon, fired two shots center mass."

No doubt he was justified killing the guy. Actions have circumstances

Dude, the cop has absolutely no blame in this situation. None. He did not result to kneeing the drunk in the head until he had no other choice.
I don't blame him at all, I just think his technique for getting the guy cuffed sucked. But that's really easy to say from my computer, that firefighter was a handful.

If my friend is being beaten like that by a another man can I run up and use deadly force?

quote:What? If you are on the ground an another man is beating your face and head into the concrete, then hell yes you can use deadly force. Was the officer supposed to let the drunk murder him?

It is like talking about softball players winning the mlb home-run derby in a thread about something very different.
