Escaped Convict Shot in Back! (legal, border, money, state)

[jamies]

So, that guy Sweat that kept the cops chasing their tails for three weeks was apparently "shot in the back while escaping."

So when a cop shoots an unarmed WHITE man in the back nobody even notices, or cares?

How is this different from the SC cop who shot the fleeing guy in the back? Maybe both cops just didn't feel like chasing the bad guys?

Because the person represented a risk to others if he escaped. THATS the difference. I'm not sure why you don't comprehend this.

Its nothing to do with race despite your desperate attempt to make it so. This thread is just sad.

Hell of a good shot by the Trooper.

Hitting an escaped Killer on the move twice at long distance with a hand gun should win him a medal.

Why not research the law instead of being ignorant
One is an appropriate legal use of force
The other is potentially murder

Im just sad Sweat wasn't killed

Here a good explanation of the difference for those unable to comprehend it:

Well, the cops were tired an' all, so the trooper did what was expeditiously expedotial.

Nobody notices?!?!?!?!

It's been the leading story for days, now.

They gave him a chance to give himself up. He ran instead. Just a few miles from the Canadian border. They've spend a mega amount of money, time and resources chasing this guy. This was about stopping a really bad escapee. Plain and simple. Congratulations to the officer who took him down.

How do you know he was tired?

Or do you not support his being arrested because he broke out of a prison?
