“Acevedo detailed that before the 21 shots in question,”
The only question is; was it a good shoot or not? Once the shooting starts, all bets are off. They can’t have a discussion about who is going to shoot, or how many rounds they should shoot. Every officer is going to shoot until they perceive the threat to be over. Four officers, about 16 rounds per gun, that’s just the way it is.
Stun guns and beanbags do not qualify as “shooting” him. A deliberately misleading headline. Trying to get the savages into an uproar.
Disgusting. Completely pathetic.
The Houston mayor and police chief are corrupt as they come. So is the Harris County leadership.
No, after using their nerf guns, they used their real guns, killing him.
Also, he had alcohol and meth in his system.
No, shoot the shit out of the criminals. The public pays 10’s of thousands of dollars to train police. They are Our INVESTMENT towards a civil society.
If it doesn't strangle him to death it's still amounts to a hanging. That will be 'the narrative' if anything goes wrong.
And are the police going to bag 'unarmed black men' like animals?
Any good intention will be reduced to 'racism'.
Looks like that stopped him from harming himself.
Hold the police union liable for violating systemic sixth amendment rights.
Thanks, I’ve been hoping something like that Bolo Wrap would be invented. Additionally, netting could be used to incapacitate.
“You have no idea how that cop that day left the house. You don’t know if he woke up on the wrong side of the bed, you don’t know if he had an argument at home with his significant other, you don’t know if one of his kids said something to him and he left the house steaming. Or maybe he just left the house saying that, ‘Today is going to be the end for one of these Black people.’”
—Lebron James
Acevedo is a pandering sleeze.
And a camera whore....the likes of Sheila Jackson Sleeze. During the march for Floyd, he joined in, laid face down on the ground and was displaying gang signs. This guy is a real piece of work!!
Well, if he had allergies, that could be considered torture or something.
The article above was so poorly written, I can't really make any decisions at all on this particular case at all. Did they use their handguns at all? Did the tazer shots actually connect or were they misses? Same questions for the bean bags. There was really no useful content in the article at all.
since when is being a retarded mentally ill person a “criminal”?
I dunno. Five officers, 24 rounds. Less than 5 rounds apiece. The standard is to shoot to end the threat, I believe. Were they firing simultaneously? I wouldn’t expect them to sort it out while they’re firing. Once the threshold warranting lethal force is crossed, are they supposed to take turns shooting, or does each one fire?
The 1987 movie, the Running Man(Schwarzenegger) had the bolo net gun used on him.
