“He was a better shot. Dead men tell no tales. Ever wonder why they keep shooting until the target is blown to shreds? The different results in these two cases is one reason. If this guy had died, FReepers and others would be talking about the “thug” who threatened the brave cop.”
Cops have a new trick. We have to ‘secure’ the area, and take long enough to let the victim expire. Jose out in Pima AZ for one. They made sure he had lots of time to expire, and blocked medical aid. Small house is that hard to secure? Bull.
Someone shot too soon, then sympathy fire started. “We screwed up. Now what? Let him die, so only our side gets told.”
They said he aimed an AR at them. But it was safed. Who really believes and combat vet Marine would mistakenly go into a potential gun fight with his weapon on safe?
We keep getting these cops lying to CYA, and other cops not questioning it. Then they and the boot lickers wonder why people don’t trust cops. There was a time you could take a cop at his word. Probably wasn’t really that true even then, but you certainly can’t now.
