At some point, maybe it was justified, but it looks like incompetence to me. Why police officers now find it optimal to end up killing something is amazing.
So, in your opinion, the cop is obligated to allow himself to be beaten to death because the other guy was a better or stronger fighter?
If you fight a cop, you deserve everything that happens to you.
Exactly what part would you describe as incompetence? If you mean the part where you make a juvenile and totally inappropriate joke in your previous post, then I agree with you.
I agree with you. This is an overweight drunk guy. The cop could have gotten away from him and waited for back up. We don't know what started this, but I can't imagine what would warrant an immediate execution. The worst of death row gets 25 years of appeals.

It was pretty clearly a righteous shooting from what I could see in the cellphone video.
A cop is still a cop when off-duty. He was responding to a complaint, and the firefighter, who was drunk, commenced beating the crap out of the cop. The cop wound up in the hospital with severe head wounds. The firefighter was well on the way to beating the cop to death, had the cop not shot him.

we've got to stop this kind of horrible decision making....
that being said, I guess if I had a gun and someone was cranking my head against the cement, I'd shoot too....
anyone else see the similarities with the Z guy and the Martin 12 yro Skittle guy????
because it’s the easiest way to get a paid vacation.
