All of the shots were fired from the side and rear of the SUV. None from the front where the officer would have been in the path of the SUV. Now I won't give all of the details here but if you google "Aaron Brown case Alexandria, Va." you can find plenty of information on the case. If you read up on this case I'd like you to tell me if you think this particular "reduction in the gene pool" was OK.
Vaguely remember the case, and as I recall, it was a bad decision by the cop. The kid didn't need to be offed, but he and his pals put themselves in a bad situation to begin with.
If they had been home doing their geometry homework, it wouldn't have happened.

Cop made a bad decision and killed a kid that shouldn't have been killed. Kid made a bad decision by skipping out on his restaurant tab. There is no equivalence here.

No one's life was in danger, but the lady that finally got killed. You forget, there is a video, for us all to come to our own conclusions, without investigating if it was edited.

That was Murder... Straight up.

People scared of guns, will run from that gun at all cost, for good reason.
The badge does not make anyone "more human" "more smart" or " have common sense".

That was straight up murder.

Unarmed people get shot by cops on a daily basis. The city that hires them say it is ok, and give the guy paid leave until they tell everyone to go home. Nothing to see here.

Then the flip side..........

There is a guy here doing life for killing 3 cops, that was part of a no knock raid. He shot and killed 3 and injured 4 cops, with his .45.
They were at the wrong house.

if the cops were at the wrong home and he killed 3 cops and wounded 4, then he should not be spending any time in prison, as the cops were breaking and entering.

We too often see news with helicopters chasing overhead with the perp blasting through intersections colliding with innocents or worse.
Further, 100% of the suspects have seen the inside of a jail cell before.
As far as I'm concerned, a quick reduction in the gene pool is OK with me. Just sayin'.
Details? Who needs details?

We have morons telling us we need to be independent thinkers and agree with them before getting all the facts....otherwise we are law enforcement loving sheeple.

You would think. I do know the County Sheriff was tossed(resigned) over it and election time there was a County flip to Republican.(for a decade)

The guy living in rural Texas, didn't have the cleanest record, but had no warrants or in any recent trouble. The local media painted him as a cop killer and guns were bad(remember the Brady Bill and all that was going on at the time)

She may have had a panic attack, or she might have been a diabetic with low blood sugar.


Erratic, irrational or panicked behavior doesn`t have to carry a death sentence.

1.) Mall Cops called the police, because she seemed upset.
2.) Chased by cops.
3.) Stopped to let cross traffic clear
4.) Cops approached the vehicle guns drawn(from the rear, remember they were following her)
5.) Traffic cleared and she gassed it to go.
6.) She was shot multiple times.
7.) No bullet holes in front windshield
8.) No shattered drivers window
9.) Shattered rear passengers window.
10.)Angle from rear passengers window, to the drivers seat, the deceased was struck in the left back side.

The underlying reason this misbehavior by some police forces is because their mission has changed from being a police force set up to prevent crime and/or investigate criminal activity to one of an occupying army in what, they presume, is a rebellious and criminal territory. In the US that territory is economically and racially determined. This is why in most cases the police are exonerated from any crimes because they were just dong their job even if that job is to terrorize the impoverished. If the police are treated as criminals then the politicians and the people that elected them are equally guilty by association for the murder and the murderer. Most people cannot accept responsibility for that crime. Hence the murders continue.
