I think the original article said that they shot him in the back, but I think they subsequently revised the article. Also the female officer's head injuries might have been due to her stumbling back and falling. So that headline is perfectly understandable. Plus the guy doesn't even have a dozen priors so he seems like a model citizen to the liberals.

you for real? law enforcement let loose? please go educate yourself on who makes and passes the law. Law enforcement simply just enforces the law.

Why does the law enforcement let loose such undomesticated humans but cage harmless animals in the zoo?
How about enacting this law now: any violent criminals get injections upon a 3rd offense, big or small? The civilized world has to set bottom lines straight with the wild lives. Innocent civilian lives and safety matter, too, if not more than that of the wild animals like this.

I value freedom and justice substantially higher than potential marginal improvements in society. It's not even in the same ballpark

Are you trying to drag me into a debate on whether china as a whole serves as a model societal system? Not a good try though...

Good job officers. Last I heard was he was in "critical" condition. Maybe I will get to hear "flatline" when I wake up tomorrow. I hope the officer recovers from her injuries.

In similar threads, I can read a review of a Black & Decker Hammer Drill!
