He didn't yell halt and give him a chance to surrender?!?

JKing, glad to see this dumb ass taken out swiftly and uneventfully. Good on the cop for making a hard shot.
This, exactly.

I predict we'll see more of these now that a cop has to back off at least a hundred meters to avoid accusations of "should have used his Taser". Although maybe that's a black thing - we chalkies tend to stand around and say "dumbass".

As a matter of fact......just look to Berkley, and the asshats on this same forum that spout stupidity. Of course they'll be the first to whine when some psycho attack them or murders their family.

That is right, we should never, ever criticize police when they shoot a child. Or a man standing in a store, for they are heroes. They have a difficult job that is occasionally more dangerous then working late nights at a convenience store.

I mean, who are we to judge when a cop is standing over the cooling body of a child that he shot because he is a coward? Or when a no knock raid disfigures an infant for life? I mean, mistakes happen, no biggie. If that fucking infant didn't want to injured by a hero, why was it in a crib sleeping?

Know why when a cop does their job they don't get a celebration? Because its their fucking job. When you go a day without shooting someone for no reason you don't need a medal for it. This shouldn't be something that needs to be explained to anyone, especially anyone who ever carried a gun.

So you don't think there's a problem with all these shootings of Unarmed persons?

Nobody is saying anything remotely like that...except ... it looks like you are via insinuation.

For the most part, the frequency of cop shootings hasn't changed much in decades in relationship to the frequency of violent criminal contact incidents. The overall violent crime rate is falling faster than justifiable homicide (cause and effect?)

So the innocent "all these shootings" trap is null and void. How do "all these shootings" compare, in relation to the previous decades?

Trials must be left to the courts. The cops, the criminals, the press and ignorant lynch mobs certainly do not qualify as a court of law.

Cops are trained to track and arrest criminals. That's their job asshat, not shooting people. Killing someone is not the daily part of it. In fact, many cops will go their entire career without firing a shot. SOME will make it without ever drawing their weapon....think about that.

Sounds like you either read too many romance novels or watch too many reality shows. Read some facts, then come back and discuss them. Your personal feelings have about as much validity as the lynch mobs mentality in Ferguson...and they were wrong too.

Discuss them with you? So you just handwave things away with your misplaced hero worship?

Look at this shit. Some yokel fucks who should be sweeping floors somehow are given guns and look what happens. Good thing the bottom 10% of a high school class took on that responsibility.

So your point is that I believe that law and order is good, and cops, more often than not are good for the community.... and you belive cops are "the Debbel"

Point taken. What' your take on when people break the law? Should they be given a free ride? When they rape your sister, what will you do about it? How about when they stab your grandma for her purse? SOMEONE has to retrieve that criminal. Will it be you? I doubt that very much, since words and discussion takes far less balls than facing an armed opponent, and you declined that invitation pretty quickly.

read the facts... Aggravated violent crime is about 62 percent of the totals. Actual justifiable homicide is mostly static. the sheer volume of violent criminals NOT shot by cops is impressive. the news and asshats who drink the lefty kool-aide of hugs and rainbows can scream all they want, but without laws we end up like Mexico, where rule of law is tnuous at best.

Since you are too stupid to understand the point I'm making, I'm not sure why I'm trying. I mean, a cowardly little bootlick like yourself isn't worth shit, so I highly doubt you did anything involving law enforcement beyond walking a mall.
You think that cops killing civilian isn't a big deal and in fact, probably isn't worth mentioning. I mean, some of them do good things, so that completely outweighs the bad.

I'm not saying anything of the sort....you are. I'm saying that if you focus on one aspect of the totality of the circumstances, you miss the picture.

And, for the record......you're wrong again! See a pattern here?

Since we've never been properly introduced, though you seem to think that you know me.......I was an armed Federal officer, working out of two the great state of Texas during my tenure there, and made more than a few fugitive felony arrests (all without killing anyone), though there was a few hospitalizations amongst the mix.

As a soldier (I spent 12 years off and on in a Combat MOS, in a line unit), I proudly wear on my right shoulder, the best damned patch in the world..."First Team"!! I spent many moons stomping around the world to such fun places as Iraq, Panama, Ecuador and Colombia, though I never got to see the sights since terrorists and drug traffickers like small, crappy towns and remote locations so much.

I spent LOTS of time in Kurdistan, mostly near Mosul, but also spent some "quality" time near the Syrian border. I can't say that I never terminated a threat in that role, but I never looked for a fight, and never wanted to get into it when walking away was easier. I can say that the vast majority of persons I dealt with were average Joes wanting the violence to stop, and they were mostly happy to see my team.

They were happy because they understood what evil was...and wasn't. They were willing to put their lives on the line to help us, which is something that you can't ignore. Some people on this very forum hide behind a monitor, and wouldn't dare walk in a bad neighborhood, let alone work to make it better. The also have nothing to add but insults and derision for those that don't toe their line of pseudo-anarchy. It's pseudo anarchy because the ones that scream the most against soldiers an cops are the FIRST to cry when the violence is against themselves.

Now, how about your introduction and what you think of the situation? Or will you return to blah, blah blah?
