I believe the police officer should have waited until there was a threat to her safety or the safety of others before shooting the man.
I'm sorry, walking towards the car gave both cops concern, and he must have made some significant movement because both cops fired - one a taser, one a gun.
Then why not shoot him the moment he started walking to the car if that is and of itself a threat to the safety of the officers? And you will note that of the four officers on the scene only one so totally misjudged the situation that she felt it necessary to use deadly force. Were the other careless?
But to claim the target did nothing wrong is ludicrous.
To say that walking away from a police officer is threatening enough to justify shooting him is ludicrous.
Have you ever seen video of just how fast someone can pull a gun and start shooting? And you failed to answer as to why BOTH cops fired at the same time - which means both saw something that triggered a response.
You really are being obtuse in your demands of the cops here - so further debate is pointless. Later.
Wow, your last sentence confirms exactly what I asserted about you in my post.
Upon further review, you are a moron. They did not shoot him as we walked away. BOTH OFFICERS fired at the same time in response to something he did by the car.
You have erected strawman after strawman on this thread. Like most of the cop bashers do. And I am more than willing to have cops held accountable for wrongful conduct. But you are someone who apparently thinks a perp has to draw a gun and start shooting before cops can rightfully return fire themselves.
You are now on my small list of FReepers with worthless points of view.
