Come on boot lickers, time to stick up for your boys in blue again. I'm sure the cane was almost as menacing as a Wii controller.

prosecute, convict and imprison the cop. this sort of behavior should never be tolerated by the taxpaying public.

Why, was the bait too temping for you? Call it what you want, be we all know the truth. Some here are blind to the obvious, regardless of the egregiousness of the crime.

imminent threat to his life, he believed.

in fairness to officer scaredy cat, it should be taken into account the amount of fear drilled into him on a daily basis by the people that train and oversee him.

Shoot first, ask questions later has been the new approach i guess. Makes you wonder what kind of training do cops undergo and are they scared being on the job?

Eh, I give the officer the side eye for being afraid of a 70 year old guy, but in fairness getting out of the car and then reaching in for something looks pretty sketchy.

Trolling about one of the greatest threats to American citizens??

Before there's any threads about terrorist or terror, there deserves to be one about Police. Police kill 8x as many Americans as terrorists.


So who's the real threat?

Yep. A bunch of DS to further dehumanize the "enemy" (us).


33 cops were killed last year. A American was killed by Police EVERY SINGLE DAY. Black men about every 28 hours in 2010.
