    Blame the bleedin' heart fuckin' greens, if it weren't for them every officer would have a tazer on his side and a .223 in the boot of his cruiser.

    Oh, and what's more dangerous, a golf club or a hammer? I propose the hammer is, because you can easily punch a hole it someones skull with one, wheras the golf club is just going to leave some serious divots upside your head.
    The Hammer must've been loaded!!!

    According to 3news just then only two bullets hit him, one in the chest and one in the leg.

    Good riddance.

    Much better than paying $1,000,000 for burns to someone in a P-lab.

    Sad to hear as someones lost a loved one,or maybe wasn't loved at all.
    Agree with the folks who think just because films show weapons being fired in a rapid rate and pinpoint accuracy aint like that in life situations,they would be taught to aim for the largest area so that is torso,not head or arm or leg as to reduce the risk of richochet or miss.

    As to weapons he had or didn't have,a pair of fists is a weapon if your a boxer i.e Tyson,Ali etc.Also how many guys get into pub fight and seriously injured/killed after getting the crap kicked out of them.Had a similar experiance when in a pub,playing pool with the locals,we didn't have money on just beers,left to go to a party and being pissed as we left a group of guys thought we'd be easy targets,after the first dickhead wouldn't fuck off and being isolated 1-3 isn't fun,smashed the first guys nose in after he glanced me,then the other 2 decided to enter,just as well I was pissed,got the crap kicked out of me,ended up with fat lip,sore ribs,and bruises,lucky would describe that time by me,carried on white water rafting next day.

    I just watched the TV1 news, there was an eye witness interviewed who says this fella was running towards the cop with the hammer above his head!

    Stop being pathetic! All we know is a person has been shot by a cop. Various reports give us conflicting information. Personally I feel for the cop that shot this guy!

    Yeah, me too. Once again a good guy uses force to protect himself, and the system plus assorted bleaters comes down on him.

    This poor cop and his family won't sleep tonight. Or properly for weeks to come.

    You don't need to know why someone is attacking you. You don't need to know if they are sick, mental or just bad.

    You just need the absolute right to defend yourself and your family.

    I'm sorry too, for the guy who got shot, and his family, they have suffered a loss too.

    But my heart-felt support is for the cop and his family.

    Interesting. The "not the gubbinment mouthpiece" channel interviwed several witnesses, one who clearly stated that the retard carpenter was standing quite still.

    The truth will be watered down and diluted as it always will be.

    The other small point...
    We have had comments that the "media" will distort and twist the facts.
    Obviously there is the other side of the coin where the police are doing just that with their "press releases".

    Ahhh, TV1. What a crew, huh? Throw everything through the rose-tinted filter and spew out the truth for all to enjoy.

    A small point that has been missed from the discussion so far...

    Pepperspray.
    Better for up-close and personal conditions.

    If the operator has the nozzle pointing in the right direction. Far safer to give him a gun.

    I love the double-standards on this site at times.

    According to the weight of opinion around here it's OK for some chef on a bus to bury a 25cm knife to the hilt into somebody he thought was threatening him; but it's not OK for a cop in the same city to shoot some dude who wants to do him harm with a hammer?

    Perhaps rednecks don't like the Police dispensing vigilante justice for them?

    Get real, some I think might be geting thru the system and joining just to do this..... Society is breaking down .Look at KB'r not what it was. False moon Landings, 3/11 to get elected. The war on terror . It's only news which is a sale issue here. Now back to a bike related subject. Which 250 should I choose?

    Fair enough, when a cop feels they are under pressure, shoot! But 4 bullets? Hmmm excessive IMO.

    The other night we were watching one of these cop programmes and police were empying their guns on people. I asked my partner why this happens, he says you need to keep shooting until the threat is no longer a threat... surely one or two bullets would do that? Or am I being naive again?
    WHAT IF..........we find there were 4 shots, namely 2 warning shots, then a leg shot, then the fatal shot? Fairer. From what I hear, that may be the case,

    Exactly, like the way Wallace was made out to be a University Student, rather than unemployed ex student drop out.
