This is the same point I was arguing in the other thread. There's a serious problem with this in many jurisdictions across the US. A lot of these coppers aren't fit to be wearing the badge.

I'm sure you've read the story, as have I, but can anyone watch that footage and say he deserved any of that? The LEO were responding to what was a report that he was seen brandishing a weapon. He was intoxicated at the time. In the other thread he allegedly passing fake money. While I can see the adrenaline would have been pumping a lot harder in this case due to the weapon report the fact remains that two blokes died while being detained in unacceptable ways.

This is what a lot of us have been yapping on about for years. It has to change.

I just heard on radio the top brass of Atlanta I think it was had just resigned Cos they shot some lad in the back running away from them, tried to grab a taser or summat they reckon but shot running away

We're all taught that you shoot to stop the threat. Not to wound. Not to kill but to stop the threat. It's hard to have a justified shot when they're running away and take a round in the back.

If you're feeling adventurous, Katch, look up Qualified Immunity. You'll feel a little queasy especially when you realize that the copper in the other thread could be getting fifty grand a year pension while he's looking at murder charges.

The reason the cop was acquitted  was the young man reached back with his right hand .Very little about this shooting in the media. I have never heard off a cop getting 2500 in a pension. Another fckd up killing.

Seems fair....used to happen all the time in Starsky & Hutch...less the taser of course.
