Hey good brother Gilbo...
Moments like these really test the patience, my friend....
Cop shoots and kills wheelchair-bound, double-amputee, with one arm...
Well....Obviously, he was a REAL threat...
I can’t figure out which is more disturbing - the fact that this even happened, or that people are out here defending this trigger-happy idiot...
Reminds me of the old “All In The Family” episode...Archie ran into a station wagon full of Nuns and tried to blame it on them.
The lawyer just kept repeating “Archie...it was a Station Wagon, Full of Nuns...”
I don’t care HOW anyone tries to rationalize it. A guy in a wheelchair, with no legs and ONE arm, is not a threat to anyone. ESPECIALLY to two armed cops.
This cop needs to be stripped of his badge, his gun, and any immunity from prosecution.
“Cornered”??? Really? The guy’s in a wheelchair. Just PULL the frigging thing away, Partner - from behind.
“Waving something metal”??? In his ONE good arm? In his wheelchair? GRAB his arm, Partner - from behind.
If a cop can’t tell the difference between a pen and an edged weapon or a firearm, he shouldn’t be anywhere NEAR making life and death, judge/jury/executioner decisions.
This is just effing ridiculous.
Running away, are you? Cowards!/s
