I'd liketo know where the bulets entered his body, from the front or from the back.

If they entered from the back that gives a whole lot of credence to what the son says.

If this man were hit in the back of the legs...just the thought of that makes my blood boil. I hate cowards!!!

Why should anyone care who you have respect for? The issue is what level of respect is required of normal citizens of police officers so that they are not shot. I'd say this requirement should be the same respect given to a normal person.
Sorry I don't have a lot of respect for people who kill or think its ok to kill those who give them attitude. I don't make any apologies for that.

It would seem that we have too many cops wanting "to be a hero." Too many people with guns and quick tempers.

There is justice in such if it was a legitimate defense of life. The question is, was his actions of such a nature? To claim a person is wrong for defending themselves because it could or did result in the loss of life of the offender is to condemn all victims to death and support the crime of the offender.

Actually, if found guilty of an improper use of force in the situation, he will be brought up on the charges and be held to them to the fullest extent of the law.

An officer of the law, due to their obligation of such when found intentionally guilty of breaking a law does not get mitigating factors for a plea, they are charged with the maximum sentence as is required of all law officers who violate their oath and responsibility.

The officer won't be prosecuted.This is what happens when people don't mind their own **** business, a simple trip to the corner store results in this.

and I hope you never have to demend on firefighters or cops to save your home, your life or your family. I too happen to have respect for anyone who puts his/her life on the line for me daily. Of course they are not all good guys and gals and some can be real Aholes, but I respect what they do for us.

If the police officer was wrong, he should be prosicuted, but none of us really know the whole story.

I don't like our President, but I respect the office he holds and his position.

Attitudes like yours make my blood boil.
