An Oklahoma man's last few moments alive after he was accidentally shot last week by a deputy who meant to stun him with a Taser is seen in disturbing video released by police Friday.
"He shot me! He shot me, man. Oh, my god. I'm losing my breath," Eric Harris says as he struggles on the ground with police on top of him.
"F--- your breath," an officer can be heard saying. "Shut the f--- up!"
Reserve Deputy Robert Bates, 73, shouted "Taser! Taser!" before pulling the trigger on his gun, firing one round into Harris.
"I shot him!" the shocked former policeman says, dropping his gun from the recoil. "I'm sorry."
In the video, provided to the New York Daily News, a body-cam captures an officer in a foot pursuit of Harris who is subsequently tackled in the street.

That way you won’t appear as detail lacking no nothing jackass.
That one too.
[[No one ignores them, it’s obvious that you don’t pay attention at all. Even this ping list pings us to good stories.]]
I am paying attention to msm and note that many do not infact post hardly any stories about the braVEy and heroism and post tons of stories about the bad eggs- I wasn’t talking about about ‘EVERYONE’ ignoring the issue- The MSM would rather vilify the police than support them and this has become clear- I am NOT saying they don’t occasionally run a positive story or two- but I AM saying they are very negative towards the police and really seem to want to foment anger and hostility towards the police whikle ignoring the many many stories of heroism and acts of kindness etc- doen by police every single day- because by golly that just isn’t sensational enough news for them
[[So we’re just supposed to “write off” these people who didn’t deserve to die because “on the whole” cops are “good guys?” ]]
For crying out loud- did I say that? Nope! My previousp ost explains what I was talking about
[leads me to the inescapable conclusion that the vast majority of them are so jaded by their daily activities that they are unable to interact with their fellow citizens in a rational manner.]]
Just how many of these ‘vast majority’ have you had personal experience with?
[[Doesn’t invalidate the bad cop stories]]
Never said it did
[[Post good stories. don’t rip those who post the other ones]]
I was ripping MSM who post practically nothing BUT bad stories and who seem to relish fomenting hatred towards the police- The poster of this article on FR I doubt falls into that category!
I’m not sure what you meant here then, because you termed this another police murder.

No not at all.
You are obviously and idiot.
and the msm not only post practically nothing but the bad stories, but they rise those stories and post LIES to keep the stories going (as I n the case of trayvon martin/Zimmerman and the furgeson story, making lies up about the policeman In that case) in order to stir up hatred— That folks is my gripe- my gripe is NOT with people posting stories here or personal accounts from time to time- but IF someone only posts stories about bad incidents and tries to make it out to look like the whole police force is bad, then yeah- I’d take issue with that too- but I was not saying what I said about the poster of this thread- I was making commentary about the MSM in general- so enough with the rip on me for stating my feelings about a corrupt MSM hell bent on making the whole force of police across the nation out to look like a group of racist thugs! - thanks
I may be mistaken, but I believe the article stated the officer who shot the man stated it out loud after the fact and said he didn’t mean to and was sorry.
This is not third world behavior. Good grief you guys are desperate.
Yep, sometimes they do. And more often than not, they don’t.
Actually, he’s not doing anything.
I never said those two people were resisting arrest. So why did you ask me how they were resisting arrest as if my point was that they were?
Post 133 should be addressed to you.
[[Yep, sometimes they do. And more often than not, they don’t.]]
Considering the ratio- it is VERY rarely that bad cops do these kinds of things compared to how much good they do- sadly though it’s mostly just the bad incidents that get reported and make it seem like the whole conglomerate of police are corrupt and racist thanks to the msm who love to tear down by glomming onto soemthign bad while ignoring the tons of good done-
Yes, sometimes bad things happen, and these should be dealt with on an individual basis, but this is NOT the aim of the msm- they are trying to tear down the whole force across the nation- the stir up racism, and fuel the fire until communities erupt into riots, and many people and communities get hurt- but the msm just keeps right on making it out to look like police are nothing but racist murderers- even when the evidence proves otherwise, as in the case of fuergeson and florida.
WifeofZeugma is the same way about snakes. If it doesn't have legs it is evil and must die. Lizards are OK. they have legs.
Did you or did you not make the above statement? If you did, based upon that statement, I asked you a two part question. It was that simple.
That’s my take on it as well.
You know, I see a lot of folks shooting off their mouths here who have never known a police officer personally, haven’t had a family member in a force, and haven’t done any rid-alongs themselves.
This people harken back to 1970s and the Hippies that called Police Pigs and anything else they could come up with on the spur of the moment. You won’t find me joining that ilk.
Yes officer are human. Yes they make mistakes. Sometimes they lose their tempers. Sometimes they operate with forethought in a criminal manner.
There are also over seven hundred thousand police officers out there who take a verbal beating day in and day out. They go to home to help resolve issues, and often find themselves under attack from both parties, even though one desperately called for help.
We don’t know how many times these people are accosted without incident. What we know about is that Leftist anarchists find it entertaining to slam officers every chance they get. I’ve had folks tell me they thought every officer was evil, and others have told me they don’t think there should even be such a thing as police. They think neighborhoods should enforce the law without the police.
It takes all kinds. It’s amazing where some people who think they are Conservative line up on these matters.
Abby Hoffman, Jane Fonda, Angela Davis, Huey Newton, and a whole host of other well-knowns from the 60s and 70s agree were their mentors. It’s just that they are oblivious to this fact.
I never said the SC guy or the old guy were resisting arrest. So obviously I can't answer HOW they were resisting arrest if I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY WERE.
Very simple.
My comment was about the Tulsa guy which was the subject of my comment and which is the subject of this thread if you bothered to follow the conversation before you posted to me.
Do you now understand?
