A Chicago police officer who fatally shot a college student and his 55-year-old neighbor has filed a lawsuit against the teenager’s estate that blames the mentally ill 19-year-old for causing the officer “extreme emotional trauma.â€
Officer Robert Rialmo’s lawsuit was filed Friday and offers the first public account of the moments before Rialmo shot and killed Quintonio LeGrier on Dec. 26. The suit claims that Rialmo, who was arriving at the scene of a domestic disturbance with another officer, opened fire after the teenager twice swung a bat at the officer’s head and then raised the weapon a third time, leading Rialmo to fear that his life was in danger, according to the Chicago Tribune.
The round that killed LeGrier also killed 55-year-old Bettie Jones, a downstairs neighbor and mother of five who was standing near LeGrier and was not part of the disturbance that had drawn police to the residence. In an apologetic statement the next day, police confirmed that her death was accidental.
Rialmo is seeking $10 million in damages, according to the Associated Press.
And you write unjustified, free-floating bumper stickers.
Unless my pointing out that more gunpowder makes a higher velocity bullet is somehow lacking a physics explanation you'd like to provide? Where's the lack of reason, off the rails, in F=MA? Speaking with a narrower brush, that is.
Because the maker tracks their product and gives post sale support. If you put it in your handgun, you wouldn’t get arrested.
Let’s go back for a bit. You have at this point demonstrated you don’t have a basic understanding of bullet design. You claimed cops have overpenetration because they shoot bullets that non-cop can’t use. Hollowpoints are designed to not over penetrate. FMJ bullets moving at a slower speed will over penetrate a hollowpoint. So that bit of bull you tossed out is debunked.
Second, you don’t understand that bullets have different energy levels based on caliber and velocity. +P is only a part of the equation but you could never load a 9mm to match standard 44 magnum performance.
You’re angry. You’re angry at being wrong. Learn something and move on.
San Fran only.
Chivalry. . . A rare thing these days on FR, with all the childish snark and insults. Sad,. Conservatives used to be able to chat/converce/debate/exchange points of view without the now all to common DU-style invective.
“Too many trigger happy idiots around here, blasting away with friendly fire.”
I was commenting on above. Re-reading, I believe I misunderstood: thought you were talking about cops.
Apologies.
No problem.
+p is not a law enforcement only round.
I can’t explain this any simpler to you.
Then GIVE UP.
