I did not say he was a probable desk jockey. You assume he was a combat vet with no facts. Now we’ll agree to disagree and leave it at that.
A Marine with two tours in a combat zone and a Purple Heart who then became a cop are facts - very pointedly suggestive facts!
Whatever. Believe what you want.
The saddest part about this thread is the fact that the FR Friends of Mumia have dutifully avoided mentioning the double murder the perp committed.
Its exactly the way the left and their media behaved about Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown and neither one of them was known to have committed any murders.
I’m not going to beat up on the cop. He had room to retreat and chose to do so but if he had shot the perp it would have been entirely justified.
We had a case in Ann Arbor last year where police killed a woman who lunged at them with a knife. She was off her meds, on drugs and had already stabbed someone. She confronted police in a narrow hallway where the cops couldn’t have retreated if they wished. She was hit with a taser and kept coming so the cop fired a single center mass round and put her down.
It turned out that the cop who fired the fatal shot had been charged by a man with a sword a few months earlier. In that situation he was outside and able to retreat and put the patrol car between himself and the perp. He was about a half second from firing as the perp came around the patrol car when the perp suddenly dropped the sword and went to the ground and was arrested without further resistance.
