Questions? Yeah. Are the cops in jail yes, and if not why not?
Their lives were endangered because he had a knife in his hand.

Albuquerque police’s new chief says the latest officer involved shooting that killed a homeless man in the foothills is justified.
But new video police released Friday is raising a lot of questions about how it all played out.
The release came Friday as APD’s first press conference since the shooting. http://krqe.com/2014/03/21/apd-officer-involved-shooting-was-justified/ Read more at

Protect ans serve, baby, protect and serve.
Just like in a war zone...Kill the enemy.
For those that can’t watch it at liveleak, here it is at youtube.

They literally provoked the circumstances that would make killing him technically legal, albeit totally unnecessary.
exactly
“yet” not “yes”
“Protect and Serve” has become “Obey or die”. They basically allowed a camping violation to escalate to a killing.
These guys are terrified and deadly in their fear, physical cowards that seem to panic at anything unusual.
“Comply or die!”
Murder or Manslaughter is NEVER charged against a government agents.
And, naturally, the police have cleared themselves of any wrongdoing. Who polices the police? In this case, no one.
“These guys are terrified and deadly in their fear, physical cowards that seem to panic at anything unusual.”
Cops are the dumbest cowards. Never knew one that wasn’t.
Well come on man, he’s a US citizen and he has a KNIFE and he is camping! Highly highly highly illegal under The Regime. Now if he were an MS-13 gang member it would be a different story. The Regime would bus or fly him to the state of his choice, give him an EBT card and let him party it up dude!
I don’t get why they would be afraid though, are these cops that naive and stupid or did this guy rob someone? They are reacting as cops would react when confronting a suspect who just committed a felony, but this guy is just camping out.
What do I know, but it looks like murder to me.
The guy is claiming to be a secret agent and is threatning to kill the officers. BUT, on that rough terrain, against I think 3 armed officers and a K-9 officer and dog I don’t see how he can be a threat. If the Officers want to take him in, bean bag him a few times, drop the dog on him and no worries.
But to flash bang him then shoot him when he startles... That’s some weak cheese.
