Waiting on Al and Jesse to have press conferences denouncing the obvious abuse of power by these racist cops.

Oh wait...

tonymontana

You mad faggot? Lock him away. No need to shoot him 10 times.. Your dad must be a cop.

Next time quote me instead of shooting an indirect comment at me you twat.

Reversal Magnet

Oh no... please don't call me names and try to insult my family on an internet message board while hiding behind a computer... it really hurts my feelings... lol

We've got a funny guy here. Anyways, you're not even worth arguing with. If you think this guy getting shot like that is funny, you obviously have problems.

Reversal Magnet

You're the one that's making it personal on here... Your response is to call names like a 5th grader... I don't think it's funny but I don't give a single fuck about that guy. Why should I? I didn't know him.. he didn't owe money.

But what is funny is all you bleeding hearts that want to feel sorry for the wack job that put a weapon in his own hands while getting mad about kids laughing and cops defending themselves and the public...

Don't want to get killed or laughed at then don't put yourself in that situation.

Boo fucking hoo!

Should've shot his ass as soon he failed to comply with their commands. If someone is armed with a deadly weapon like a crowbar - shoot the fucker with a gun (not taser/pepper spray bullshit) at the first sign of non-compliance. And if the rules don't allow that - change those stupid rules. So my take: too late. Serves him, one less rabid animal in the world! Hi5 police! Give them a promotion.

O and if you're fucking blind he actually tried to go directly after one of the cops, that's when he got BLOWN AWAY!

Here's an interesting question...

Let's say this guy with an axe was threatening some people in public, only this time there are no cops. Then a civilian pulls a gun on him and tells him to gtfo. The axeman raises his weapon, ready to attack...and the civilian fires 11 rounds. Does the civilian go to jail or is that self defense?

Reversal Magnet

Self defense... the axeman made the first move...
Someone raises an axe at you it isn't because he wants to be your friend...
He wants to KILL YOU!

Of course there will be some people crying "gun control" and would say the shooter shouldn't have had a gun to begin with and should have let himself get chopped to pieces.

Crunk

Straight up, I would have shot him. With an

TigerUK

looked like the cop was hell bent on killing the guy, a few shots to the leg, or even just one shot would have been enough.

Just because the guy had a crowbar and swung it doesn't mean he had intent to kill. It looked like the cop and the guy had enough distance, for the cop to back off, besides when you tase someone you're meant to have distance, if you tase someone and they leap onto you and make contact, you're both fucked.

the guy was down and the cop still shot 3 or 4 bullets into him. That was fucked.

I would understand if the guy had a gun on him, sure the guy has a real chance of killing you, kill him first before he kills you, but it's total bullshit saying that the guy had a lethal weapon.

Yeah I guess you missed the part where the guy started to lunge at the cop with an axe. Derp.

And you know this for sure how?

Really? What else would he be intending to be doing? Either way you still have the right to defend yourself with deadly force when someone is trying to do bodily harm to you that has the potential to kill you. I would say swinging a crowbar at you is trying to do bodily harm and could kill you... I know I wouldn't say "wait, he might hit me where it won't kill me."

It's pretty easy to judge someone that's in harms way when you have the luxury of watching video replays on the internet.

you obviously didnt read the response. They could set the dog on him, shot his legs to disable. i shot into his legs would have pretty much floored him. The cop shot him 3 times whilst standing and then carried on shooting til his emptied his cartridge while he was on the floor.

You have both a reading comprehension problem and an observation problem. Consider for a moment that a tazer in the face didn't even slow him down.

The reason for not shooting him in the leg when he's lunging at someone with an axe should therefore be painfully obvious.

Cops don't shoot to wing someone. A person can still function for a considerable amount of time even when filled with holes.

The cop shot him 5 times center mass and he was still standing and still capable of turning to swing again. He only went down from the second volley of 5 rounds. The cop did not empty his "magazine" (which is what you're trying to say).

Read what you want to read and see what you want to see, but a little logical thinking would do you some good.

LOL. Unfortunately you are serious.

Because we're not blacks with a criminal, anti-social mindset (ok maybe a few berries here and there :P ) ?

What does it mean? he is SUPERMAN? He is immune from eloctrocution? No dipshit, taser misfired, maybe battery failed, whatever.

The cop was pretty far away, no way in striking range, a shot on the leg would stop him on his tracks, a dog woud stop him in his tracks, an attack with a heavy object like that requires a full swing, you can't jab with that it's too heavy.

If they have a gun that's understandable, but when they have a slow and heavy weapon like a crowbar or axe.. a shot on the leg would ground them, they would not be able to run at you or dash towards you, if they do, then shoot them ahain.

I see you're blind as well as dumb.. It;'s not like the cop shot once and waited to see if he's disabled/disarmed, he first a burst of 3 rounds at first, then he fell to the ground, and then fired 4 more to finish him off.


Yeah a little logic would be REEEEAL useful.

I support the Police Officers decisions. Fuck these kind of people that think they can go around swinging axes and shit. And fuck everyone else who is defending the guy.

You all weren't there, you don't know the circumstances. Maybe the guy was high on PCP, maybe that is why the taser didn't work as effectively as it should have. A Police Officers job is to protect the citizens and themselves. The dog to them is an officer, a colleague. They aren't going to put the dog on someone who has a deadly object.

I love everyone who says "Fuck the Police." I bet you won't be saying that shit when some mother fucker breaks into your house and you call 911 because your scared like a little bitch.

Whatever? Well what was it genius? Dead battery you say? You've obviously never seen someone take a taser before without it having any effect. But let's just say it was a dead battery, the cop had about one second to decide to shoot or face his partner being hit with the axe.

The cop was about two feet away from him trying to back pedal away with the guy advancing while he started his swing. As has been pointed out several times, a shot to the leg won't necessarily stop an attacker in his tracks, nor will a dog. A human can cover a relatively large distance in a very short amount of time. If that is indeed the kind of axe that it appears to be, then it weighs almost nothing and it has a 3 foot handle. You can swing an axe like that in a second.

All these points have been covered already. A shot to the leg is an ineffective method of stopping a threat.

I'm blind? Watch the video again retard. You obviously can't count (or read the news article that clearly says 10 shots were fired). It was 5 shots, followed by another 5 shots. After the first 5 he did not fall to the ground, he was still standing. Cops don't shoot once and then wait to see if it has any effect. They shoot until there is no longer a threat. He was still standing and was still holding the axe. Therefore he was still a threat.

No shit. Common sense has failed you.

my brother is a cop and he was chasing some criminal that was high on drugs, the chase went up to the 4th floor of an apt building and the guy jumped, landed and kept running.

drugs = superman is true.

The guy gets ready to swing his tool, whatever it may be, at the other cop. If that other cop is you, you have all the right in the world to shoot his brains out. Nobody is going to deny that. The problem is that cops shouldnt have those same "laissez-faire" rights, simply because they can abuse the shit out of it. Taser to the face is just sadistic? Its unnecessary AND ineffective, as youve seen in the video. The face contains a lot of bone. Those taser needles get into the bone and they cant conduct their electricity effectively anymore. Thats why it "misfired". It didnt misfire. Douchecop was out there to hurt someone. Failed because hes retarded. Then had to kill him.

Thats not some conspiracy. The way cops carry power in america puts them in a similar situation as the "jail employees" in the stanford experiment. Or the milgram experiment. Or any of a dozen other experiments that revolved around that topic. Give people such kind of power and they turn into monsters more often than not. Its not even their fault. Loving mothers torture the shit out of test subjects if told to. The individual cop is not the problem. The system is.
