Police shoot and kill another person

[KATWYN]

I get so tired of reading about our police coming under fire for
every action they take.

Everyone needs to lay off them and let them get their jobs done - which is to protect US! YOU and ME

There is going to come a time when the police just won't take action at a time its needed for fear of the complaining public.

It may even be one of the complainers friends, relatives or even themselves that goes "under the hammer" and no one will do a thing about it for fear of coming under investigation

it was about property damage and the COP escalated it to a dead human being.

The guy had a weapon. He was using it to cause property damage. The cop asked him, probably quite nicely at first, to stop doing so. He then attacked the cop with the weapon, and the cop defended himself with his own weapon.

Life's a bitch sometimes, isn't it?

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt in so much as I think you are just trying to push peoples buttons with these comments. However if that's really what you believe then you are completely on the wrong side of having a sound mind.

that's the message they're sending to New Zealand

Well, maybe to the segment of it that's smoked too much dope and fallen off motorcycles onto their heads a few too many times...

[idleidolidyll]

Still far too many NWA fans out there, obviously.

Mmm, we should have a giant jelly-wrestling competition between the peaceniks and the rednecks.

Patrick and I can bring Glocks...

peacenik?

hilarious! valuing human life gets one branded as a peacenik now.

i suppose it's better than being called cuntstable

Be honest; declare your interests. Who arguing here are cops?

Here's my interests: I don't hate the cops but I have seen no reason to offer them my respect. Pursuit of arbitrary laws that create little to no harm but gather great revenue pisses me off and loses all my respect particularly when I see dangerous drivers getting off scot free every bloody day in Auckland as the cops sit on the motorway catching speeders etc.

Likewise; ALL death is deplorable and i demand as a citizen, a voter and a taxpayer that the police be accountable to the will of the people and not the will of the police.

speak for yourself

btw; don't you know that that kind of fatuous nonsense only means you've run out of logic and lost the argument...........................to spit your own bullshit back at ya

[Patrick]

actually I DO want to comprehend.

I want to comprehend why cops think life is so cheap that killing people for property damage is OK

Comprehend goes with reading and listening...

H e w a s n ' t s h o t f o r b r e a k i n g s t u f f ... ... .... H e w a s s h o t f o r t r y i n g t o k i l l a c o p.

Slow enough for ya? The cops life is more important to me. Yes, I have heard the witnesses accounts. Cop shot someone because he had his hands at his sides? Cop shot someone because he had a go at him with the hammer?

Geez, rocket science is so tricky...

nope, i haven't lost the argument at all and the swathes of positive ratings ...

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

where was the threat to others until the cop forced the issue?

Getting into occupied cars with his hammer and trying to get into others makes it sound threatening, certainly something Police should and always would get involved in...


it was about property damage and the COP escalated it to a dead human being.

DUH.......... AS ABOVE............

ever heard of negotiation? ever heard of patience? did you listen to witness accounts? did you see the footage?

He tried that, again, see earlier posts....

i am almost hoping someone you love is killed by cop impatience and ignorance

No worries, mine aren't that stupid....

Speeders aren't dangerous drivers??

Well, I have decided to argue no further, so, yes, fair enough. I don't think either of us are planning on changing our original position...

[idleidolidyll]

Speeders aren't dangerous drivers??

not inherently, no. if they were, F1 would be much more dangerous than it is and so would motorbike racing.

speed doesn't kill, bad driving kills

speed limits are arbitrary numbers much of the time and are aimed at the worst drivers in the worst cars (or bikes)

yep, that's what i said earlier

i don't expect to change anyones mind but i do think it is right to offer the alternate opinion of the events and the outcome

Bravo. Must agree. Don't forget the fact that they are set low so as to ensnare those who buy machines that cruise at comfortable/fuel efficient speeds above 100kph. (And those vehicles arrive by the shipload on an almost daily basis, I can see 'em floating in from my place of work.)
