If that wasnt an unlawful killing god knows what is poor lad was terrified. Horrible for his family aswell to know that he was so frightened before being killed!!

THE STIFFMEISTER 16,116 Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 I’m not a law before official in the United States so I can’t speak from experience but surely you’d just lie him down , arms stretched , face down and cuff him ? Not sure how it works but that’s surely not a bad way to start ? Seemed ad if they were making it up as they went along in my eyes 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Katchum said: 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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paul sr 826 Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seems fair....used to happen all the time in Starsky & Hutch...less the taser of course. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
