Police Officer Killed in Friendly Fire-Good thing we pay them what we do

Cops kill far more innocent bystanders than each other in friendly fire. Can't say that I feel anything about this, only that... you live by the gun, be prepared to die by the gun!
 
spoken like someone with zero firearms training/experience.

when you pull a piece you dont aiming at arms legs or heads. you im center mass and continue squeezing until your target hits the ground.

as for the "bloodthirsty" cop just wanting to shoot another person, your seeing it from a skewed perspective.

think of this cop who has probably never had to discharge his firearm before.
he just had to take a life. the emotions involved and adrenalin dump are enough to engage the reptile brain.
he believes the situation to be over (except for screaming and understandably emotional friends,family and neighbors) there is more tension than an overhead powerline.
someone yells man with a gun.
you see a man in street clothes moving with purpose toward the scene with an assault rifle.
is he the lunatics brother?
is he a gang member?
does he want revenge?
the storm is not over.


mistakes were made.

the biggest one?

strapping on a bunch of knives and terrorizing your neighborhood,then committing suicide by cop.


spoken like a fucking undercover cop protecting his own..

these are supposed to be trained pros. yet react like little girls..

i have been around firearms, own firearms, hunt, and target practice since age of 10..

if you cant hit a leg from a hallways distance i think you need your fucking eyes checked, and/or shouldnt be in possesion of a firearm..

what gypse stated in his nice list ive already said.. those cops are a bunch of little bitches who took a life because they failed to react properly. and fuck anyone who stick up for them..

they didnt even take the time to try and dismantel the situation they just EXUCTED the kid...

keep protecting the killer cops and maybe someone you know will be killed by a bloodthristy cop... think of the kids parents, watching the police kill there kid and then kill one of there own.. these people witnessed enough to ruin there opinion of police forever.. its about time you dumb fucks open your eyes as well..
its not right to kill because you have a badge and then get away with it.. PERIOD
 
DAGNABIT: if you arent already the police id join the force you seem to have there backs. wheter they are right or wrong, youd fit right in..

lol..
just pointing out the other side there sparky...

no need to get your panties in a knot.

the cop has a family as well.
the great unifier?
we are all humans.
you "hate cops" till they kill the son of a bitch on the hood of your grandmothers car tapping her windshield with a knife.


what "kid" was killed btw?

way to be the judge,jury and DA in the case all from your 'puter screen.
 
im my opinion any dumbass 21 yo is still a kid.. the kid wasnt right in the head and died. his family never thought there 21 would die before them..

but a cop lives by the guy and his family knows that.. so its less of a shock when it happends..

the 21 yo didnt have the right to do what he did but it seemed more like a cry for help than a suicide by cop attempt..

these cops used way to much force and took a life, then took another.. and these are the dick we pay to protect us.. fuck that. i rather take care of my own, then have a fucking cop think hes king shit and do whatever the fuck he wants..

my panties are in a not because im tired of fucking cops killing people and getting away with it..

you hear about it way to fucking often.. cops killing innocent bystanders and 93 yo old men, and 18 yo unarmed kids playing dice, and the list goes on.. do a search on google about all the people cops kill, and then tell me it doesnt make you sick.. like is said if it doesnt then go join the force,,

killing makes me sick...

i really dont care what occupation the killer has.

but when faced with an armed lunatic you are forced to put them down.
be you a cop or a grower. man runs at you with a knife..he just committed suicide.

the old saying about bringing a something to a something fight...

1. Knifeman seen locking himself in his room in his parents house..

2. Police evacuate parents or anyone else from house..

3. House surrounded and entrances covered...body armour/knife/flack jackets worn by Police...

4. Police attempt at negotiating with knifeman and interview parents as to the mental state of knifeman and whether or not there are any other weapons, firearms in house.

5. If knifeman does not surrender, tear-gas/smoke could be used thru window into house to flush him out.....

6. If/when knifeman is flushed out and continues to be agressive a tazer/pepper spray or minimal force (bullet in leg e.t.c.) could be used if knifeman has not become gunman....

*This would probably be the scenario in a country such as the U.K. since ordinary Police are not armed with firearms....but are required to wear knife proof jackets....


Already by number 2 the lunatic is coming out with the knife ready to kill.

There was no time to do 2,3,4,5.

The cops in the US do the same as your senario all the time.

Don't Police in your neck of the woods have to go thru some sort of Martial Arts training that involves diss-arming someone weilding a knife?.......that and a good spurt of pepper spray/mace should have contained the situation....

Not that I am aware of. All of the martial arts training that I've gone through preached that if you go hand-to-hand with an edged weapon, you may prevail but you are going to get cut. As I stated in an earlier post, inside 21 feet a knife is considered more lethal than a gun.

Natural selection at work. Everyone is responsible for their own actions and the situations they get themselves into.
 
.... the 21 foot rule basically says that an individual can cover said distance in approximately the same amount of time it would take someone with a firearm to unholster the weapon, accurately aim and fire. Somehow I doubt the officers weapons were holstered.

I dont claim to have any actual experience with this but I dont anyone could cover such a distance before I could pull the trigger.

Humans, always looking for a way to leave body and be free to roam the universe. Silly animals are we with bodies, masters are we without. It's all good. No what I'm sayin'? Probably not.

It also concerns the ability to incapacitate the knife wielder before they can get to the gun handler. One shot stops and "knee shots", etc. are largely tv fiction.

if the cops had time to fire 7 times and they werent injuried. they coulda shot seven times aiming at his legs.. if they were backing up as they shot maybe more..

im sorry but its a fact that they didnt try to make things less servere, i understand things happend fast but its still just a waste of life, and waste of tax payers money..

sorry if i offended anyone by getting worked up about the topic, but hearing story after story of cops killing people works me up to say the least :) ive had my number of run ins with the law and im proud to be a canadian.. the police dont treat everyone like they are armed and dangerous here, its coming but thats why ill be moving further up north..

peace and stay try n not get in between the 5-0's crosshairs, cause they dont hesitate.

I usually find that it's easy to sit at my computer and dictate would should have happened and what I would've done in these kind of situations. Anyone else notice that? :D

usually it's the innocent citizen that gets shot, maybe this will begin to teach them a lesson.......

A homicidal maniac wandering the neighborhood with multiple weapons and you expect police to give him a lollipop? The kid started it. The result is his fault. For his death and the officers.

I completely disagree with you.
