"He didn't put up a struggle at all," said homicide Detective Jeff Cowdrey. "He did what he was supposed to do and got shot for it."



According the police, the victim is supposed to stand there with his hands in the air, whimpering, and then call the cops when the bad guys have left. If hed done something like blow the robbers head off with a .44 Magnum, he might have been alive today.

“Police say they can’t explain why Singh, 35, was shot in the abdomen early Wednesday even after complying with the gunman’s instructions...”
You ever consider the FACT that some people are just plain bad news?

all convenience type outlets need multiple 12 gauge charges placed above the customer area pointing down with a trigger mechanism wired to a button on the floor of the cashiers side of the counter....
"Hands up", "OK". Boom!

Is this the same incident?


Indian-American gunned down during robbery in US

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/indians-abroad/Indian-American-gunned-down-during-robbery-in-US/articleshow/5700816.cms

KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI: Indian-born Gurpreet Singh was working his final shift as a 7-Eleven clerk, before moving on next week to full-time job at a hospital, when he was gunned down during a robbery.

Police say they can’t explain why Singh, 35, was shot in the abdomen early Wednesday even after complying with the gunman’s instructions to hand over his register’s cash in a bag.

``He didn’t put up a struggle at all,’’ said homicide Detective Jeff Cowdrey. ``He did what he was supposed to do and got shot for it.’’

The encounter was recorded on the store’s surveillance cameras, and Kansas City police are working to identify the killer and two other people who were with him, The Kansas City Star reported.

Singh, a divorced father of two whose family immigrated to the US from India when he was in middle school, was to start a new job next week as a hospital kitchen supervisor. His brother, Gurbhushan Singh, said he could have skipped his final shifts at the convenience store - where he’d already been robbed less than a month earlier - but didn’t because he had promised to be there.

Singh called police about 1:10am local time, after the gunman fled, then collapsed on the floor. He later died in surgery.

Gurbhushan Singh said his brother was proud about his new job and told his children, ages 7 and 9, he was going to be ``the boss.’’ Gurbhushan Singh told the children Wednesday that their father wasn’t coming home.

``They know they’re never going to see him again,’’ he said. ``That was really hard.’’

Video surveillance shows the gunman, a man standing next to him and a woman who stood near the store’s door.

According to 7-11 policy he wasn’t even allowed to carry a Swiss Army knife in his pocket!

"He didn't put up a struggle at all," said homicide Detective Jeff Cowdrey.

Maybe it's because the Indian religion teaches passivity in the face of violence, of course that's no way to deal with the typical Obama voter.

At the very least, the clerk had nothing to lose and it doesn’t get any worse than what happened to him anyway if you do resist.

Because the recommended Cooperate, call him sir, don't anger him action doesn't always work on criminals. Some are just plain bad.

What he was supposed to do????? What kind of effing stupid comment is that?

It's an insight into how the police really think.
