Police shoot and kill another person

[scumdog]

Am I allowed to say that I would not have shot him................

And at what point as you lay on dying on the ground with a hammer sticking out of your head and the madman now blazing away with the pistol he has just taken off you would you reconsider???

In case you missed the point GB:

HE WAS NOT SHOT 'BECAUSE HE HAD JUST SMASHED UP CARS".

Why was he shot then?

Well it has been a few years but I know enough not to get to that stage........but first I would run away.

[scumdog]

Why was he shot then?

Cos as a result of a drug-related non-thinking act he decided to to attack a man holding a pistol who was telling him to drop the hammer.....or so I have been led to believe.

And you KNEW you could out-run him?

Cos if you didn't do so you would (a) likely end up dead/dying) and (b) now provided a pistol to add to the hammer-wielders arsenal..


OR Allowed the guy to take out some bystander with said hammer - how would you feel then??

"I had a gun but ran away and now some person/people are dead/injured".

Being NOT in the Police seems waaay easier than being in it right about now.

I know, I know.............just the whole think does not sit right with me and at same time I do see where you are coming from.

Super! Just what I want.... our police force to run away and anarchy to reign!!!!!!!


p/t

Too many want Police to 'do this that way' and 'do that' and 'they shoulda done" etc etc ad nauseum ad infinitum.

But they don't actually want to do it themselves, oh no, that's too dangerous/nasty/icky.

Nah, you can shoot as many layabouts and no gooders as you want.

Why was he shot then?

In self defence.

It's like the clip that was on telly TV1 current affairs at 7:30pm, the yank holding the knife outside the whitehouse, shot in front of five cops. The Uni lecturer said legal yes, moral no. (That will start a few more off). Not quite the circumstances but the arguement remains.

Man, TV1 was really dragging the bottom of the barrel for those clips....still, it keeps the ratings/contoversy going...

Yep you would think that 5 cops could handle a guy with a knife eh?

They did.

One of them shot the guy.

That is a worry.............1 on one different but 1 on 5...........

But that is reality TV these days, some people chase & film turnadoes for a living, others prefer to film cops in action. Hell all the american murder shit programs that we have to watch, there on three channels at once.
