PSA: Don't shoot the police in the face

That man deserves every bit of punishment that anyone decides to give him.

Still, that doesn't mean that those who punish him shouldn't be held accountable if they break the law while doing it.
 
Who's to say that didn't happen to his face when lept out of the window and hit the ground... 3 stories below
 
I didn't hear them defend the guy. I heard them criticize the cops for beating him.

I almost always defend the cops when they're criticized for excessive force, but that doesn't look like the "the minimum necessary force to subdue a cop killer who was trying to evade authorities."

Cops don't have the right to dole out that kind of punishment.
 
how do they know he didn't just land on his face when he jumped out of the window?

either way, he had it coming. you don't flick an angry pitbull's nutsac and not get bitten.

Eye for an Eye.

Face for a Face.

My take on it.
i understand the natural instinct to think this but do you really want to live in a place that supports that? iran for example.

I support getting killed for killing hands down.

well then we have alot of soldiers that need to die.

:roll:
if you can't tell the difference between the two, you're a tard.

actually the original statement was retarded my response was the only logical one.

I agree. The cops should be held to the highest standard of the law, no matter what the situation. It's not their job to give out that kind of punishment, and there's a good reason for it. As soon as our police are given the freedom to brutalize people they think did something "extra bad" we have a serious problem.

Note that I don't feel bad for the guy, and it wouldn't bother me if he were sentenced to a gunshot in the face. But it's simply not acceptable for officers of the law to stoop down to that level of behavior, especially before a trial even takes place.

Also, it's not clear to me from that clip where and how beating took place, so there's some uncertainty in that regard. It could be possible he was beaten before his shooting, too (though this doesn't seem to be the case) .
You guys are right, killing 2 people, one being an elderly woman and the other a cop is definitely not all that bad. He probably should have gotten some type of parole, life in jail and a beatdown is a little much.

The cops should also be killed, seems only fair. So that next time, when some scumbag kills a cop, they know that nothing bad will happend. They will just serve some time in a jail thats nicer than the house they live in.

Nice straw man. :roll: Too bad he preemptively refuted it in the very post you quoted.

where? mind pointing it out? I bolded those lines because they were particularly stupid. If anyone thinks that killing 2 innocent people is not "that bad" then you need your head checked out. People dont realize that if these scum, who already have no regaurd for life, see that nothing that bad happens to them when they kill, then we lose. screw human rights, you forfeit your rights when you choose to kill people, end of story.
 
I must have missed the part in the video where they say the cops did the damage to him. I know it's implied but I thought we were all a little smarter than that.

Why?

So they can slip up and he can shoot one of them in the face?

Please...

Awww, did somebodies feelings get hurt? His mommas upset and the man got his ass kicked.

Meanwhile there's a cop dieing / dead with a hole in his face.

I remember when this first happened. We heard nothing of the circumstances. All we heard was minority and police brutality.

"He looked almost like an animal."

Wow that's ironic b!tch! He is!

i think you're missing the part where his face was swollen, bruised, scarred and bloody.

I think YOU missed the part where the police officers face was missing...because this worthless, loser, asshole blew it off to escape from being punished for other horrible crimes he had committed against innocent people.

He got what he deserved, it's just too bad they let him live so that we have to support his ass.
he was already on trial. nothing justifies police brutality.

And he was a;ready in custody when he shot that other cop in the face.
 
It's really so simple to me.

You don't want to get your ass kicked by the police, you don't shoot a cop in the face while you're in custody, what's the problem?

bah

*throws hands up in the air and walks out yelling "besides the fbi said there was no police brutality!*

When you kill, you go to jail for a long time. And in some states, you die. That is the deterrent. The police don't get a free shot at your face with their fists.

It's not nearly that simple.

Regardless of what a worthless POS this guy is, the police have no legal right to beat the guy up. This guy's punishment is up to the court, not the arresting officers.

The fact that you overlook the legal and logical technicalities and make an emotional decision makes me glad that you're in no position to decide someone's fate.

And there's the rub... You can tell by most of the responses in this thread that they're letting their emotions cloud their judgment of what is right.

You're all overlooking the fact that he jumped through a 3rd story window, and we dont know how he landed. After shooting a cop, then jumping out a window, he had nothing to loose, so when they did finally chase him down he probably fought; with whatever strength he may have had left. At that point the cops had to neutralize his ability to harm them.

This guy got exactly what he deserved, within the bounds of the law.

you don't think it's a problem they let him have access to a gun?
 
i do stand corrected on the point where the cops supposedly beat the guy after fleeing. if he needed to be restrained that much then it was of course justified.

He doesnt refute anything, he agrees that the cops should have been "burned in *insert lame pig joke here*"

But i can applaud you then i suppose, anyone who can have any form of sympathy for this garbage is sick. You should look into becoming a defense attorney for child molesters and murderers, they deserve fair treatment, unlike the people they hurt of course.

And yes it is an emotional response, we're not talking about petty theft or vadalism, we are talking about a guy who KILLED a defensless old woman, and a cop. Im sorry, but i cant have no emotion like you can, and neither do cops when one of their own is killed.
 
If this gets me baned bug fuc*ing deal.

First of all. The guy is a murder! HE shot a fellow officer in the face. Then jumped out the 3rd story window. Now the last time I checked jumping from 30+ feet will cause some damage. Then running 3-4 blocks away where he got taken down. Now when someone gets taken down usually it gets pretty rough.

And any of you dumb fuc*s that are defending him need to grow the fuc* up! he is ******! a worthless piece of ******. He should be killed.

Now a lot of you guys read the news to where theres a jack off for an officer and he fuc*s up. he gets punished gut like the rest of you. Just like this fuc*.

The Police have a hard enough time doing there jobs, stop complaining when justice is served and that this ****** is not out stealing your tv or killing you grandma.

ScottyB Grow the fuc* up! Or better yet step up to the plate and see if you have the balls to be an officer.

If you hate the police so much why dont you confront that guy who broke into your house and is going to rape/kill your family/self, with out calling us.

Grow the fuc* up or at least respect the ****** that we have to do so that you can sleep better.

Restraining people involves getting their arms and legs under control. How do you explain the battered face?
