re: Cop shoots suspect escaping crash

The way the gun discharges lends some credibility that it was accidental, but his reaction does not.

Oh that poor drunk driving murderer.

Because...



I will never EVER understand why anyone feels the need to defend LEO's that execute even a seemingly guilty person in the field. That's NOT their role in the system, for frick's sake. Why is that so hard to grasp?

Defending, or making light of bullshite shootings like this, is what makes it virtually impossible to have a discussion about what constitutes a legit shoot when those instances come up.

Damn. I support the boys in blue 99% of the time. Been in many arguments on here about calling shootings justified when others were screaming murder and brutality. This is not one of those...

On a side note, BigBoy is a helluva shot.

This is an old video now, but that cop is absolutely a murderer. He flat out lied as well.

I am not even watching the video, but I remember how it went down.

He shot the guy, then he first said he never shot the guy.. and last I saw, he didn't even get punished for this!

You don't just shoot someone trying to get out of such a horrific wreck.

Please link the same video of it but with audio. It's even worse! He denies even shooting the guy at first and acts as if it didn't happen.

Look how casually the officer shoots him and calmly puts the gun back in his holster. Then he tells dispatch he refuses to get out the video.. I wonder why.. He's shot..

I remember reading about this officer and another incident, but I can no longer find it. I believe he's a big supporter of MADD or something. He took out his own judgments here.
