A California Highway Patrol officer shot and killed a 17-year-old who attacked him with a machete, and the officer was hospitalized with major injuries, officials said.

The officer had responded to a report of a car hitting a telephone pole Thursday in the Humboldt County community of Willow Creek, CHP Capt. Adam Jager told the Eureka Times-Standard (http://bit.ly/1DVeozS ).

The officer and the boy stepped to the rear of the damaged car when the teen attacked the officer, Jager said. The officer raised his left arm to defend himself, Jager said, and also was struck on the hand and face.

Did they even test for salts or spice? Why bother? He tested positive for cannabis!

You have been deceived about the herb! It is not evil. It does not make people violent. If anything it turns people into drooling giggling vegetables, not middle of the road walking cop attackers. Now that's spice/salt behavior!

My brother lives in the area a lot of marijuana is grown and used. Besides, the under class is coming out of the woodwork and attacking the police. Soon it will be some poor white stopped at an intersection beaten to death with hammers(Sound familiar?)

Hoopa? Reservation kid? That won’t go down too easy. Humboldt County USA is ground zero for Marijuana farming
but that ain’t the only recreational drug in production in
the area.

Where was the kid hiding the machete?

And, if he was naked while talking to the officer...I REALLY want to know where he was hiding it.

“Nothing up my sleeve...presto!”.

Males who lose their marbles on PCP often strip down naked, because it throws their temperature regulation off and they feel like they are burning up.

That, and he was shot likely more than once, which implies a powerful painkiller.

Here is another recent case of PCP gone wild.

According to the cop haters, the officer had to allow himself to be wounded severly before he is allowed to defend himself. Otherwise he would be charged with police brutality.

Yep. Tell you what, a guy heads toward me with that blade, and he’s going to have ventilation rapidly.

I agree with your take on it.

This young teen didn’t even have a gun and the cop shot him dead! And at least one hand was up!

Nah. I’ve done a lot of mushrooms in my day and those things never sparked anything close to this behavior. Not even the stripping-naked thing.

...and coming down fast. LOL

Ooops, too late. He’s dead.

Another one bites the dust.

These people are being empowered to do this kind of stuff, thinking they’ll get away with it. I’d sure love to see the Sharptons, Jacksons, Holders, and others pay for what they have inspired.
