Slippery slope here but IMO if you drive drunk and kill someone that is murder so if you flee the scene of a murder...
I am tired of the defense that DWI is not intentional/premeditated, but reckless. You chose to drink and then chose to drive, intentional in my book.
As it should be. Drunks should always be held accountable.
Both of the man’s hands were clearly visible and empty when the cop shoot him.Escaping the scene?The guy never made it out of the car.
Someone needs to explain to me how an unarmed drunk is a deadly threat to the officer and the public.
No way. I cannot believe he reports the driver as refusing to get out and unresponsive.
I am not one for bashing cops but this one is bad and this fat butt cop needs to do some time.
I recognize this is a difficult job but they need to be able to apprehend a few of these guys and even in cases of baseball bats, knives, and other non firearm weapons, disarm at least a few of them.
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN IT:
The cop sees a car crash right in front of him.
He drives to the crash and stops.
As he gets out of the patrol car and walks towards the crashed vehicle (which is on its side) the driver tries to climb up out of the vehicle through a broken side window.
He only gets half way out.
Without a word, the cop immediately pulls out his gun and shoots him twice. The driver falls back inside.
From the time you see him attempt to climb up out of the vehicle to the time the shots are fired is less than 3 seconds. It took you longer to read this far.
Moments later the fatass murdering pig calls in saying “the driver is refusing to get out of the vehicle”
(of course you P.O.S. you just shot him... he could be dead for all you know) He made no attempt to ASK him to get out of the vehicle. He shot him when he did try to get out of the vehicle.
THE FACT THAT THEY DID NOT CHARGE HIM AFTER SEEING THE VIDEO IS WORSE THAN THE SUMMARY NEAR-EXECUTION (I think the guy is still alive)
I just watched the video twice, Guy climbing out of a window of a crashed car, hands up and then MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD!
Furthermore, it is unbelievable how fat this cop is. I understand that law enforcement has the fattest employees of any profession. This is ridiculous. I think they should run a quarterly physical fitness test and it should be a tough one along the lines of the Marine Corps’.
I watched the video.
The guy was climbing out of the vehicle, and was immediately shot by the cop.
Pretty sick to see a cop do that.
And even if the guy was “trying to escape,” all jackass cop had to do was collect the license tag or VIN off the car to know where the suspect came from.
What a disgusting use of force on display here.
Cops- You don’t have to love ‘em.
With all the stuff in entertainment media, the guy may have been trying to escape the (fictionally inevitable) explosion and fire as seen on teevee and in the movies (but which isn't very common in real life.)

at the time of the incident, the cop did not know that the driver was drunk, just that he was resisting arrest.
