Beck is an illegal alien sympathizer and must think everyone is a fool.
The news chopper was using a very high powered telescopic/telephoto lens, which brought the shooting scene up much closer, than 1200' altitude of the chopper, as Mr. Beck seemed to be suggesting.
A union employee is always considered absolutely innocent until he starts taking down others with him, and then he may resign with full benefits at that time.
Look, there's no defending the guy - not only did he endanger thousands of people with his driving, he even tried to get his car going where the only way to go was through officers ahead and behind him. Had the officers opened fire at that point, my only problem would be the whitewash investigation that followed. Because that is someone armed with a deadly weapon with intent to harm others.
Once he got out of the car, his hands clearly visible, it became a completely different matter. If a clean investigation was conducted, I'm sure it would be revealed that other officers opened fire when they heard the shot from the supposed bean bag round. And those who fired should be punished for their actions, just like you or I would be in a similar situation.
Laws only work if they apply to everyone equally.
