I've seen it happen too many times. I have NEVER disappeared from a thread.
He was unarmed. There is NO reason to have shot him. These kinds of problems have happened many times in the past and should have been addressed long ago. It would not be difficult to mark the license of those with a handicap as having a handicap.
What does North Carolina do? Rather than address that problem they pass laws that make it harder for society to access information that society owns.
So since you won't disappear here is a question for you.
Is it possible for an unarmed person to kill a police officer?
Why judging before every fact is know. It sounds like all posters don't like to wait for all facts to be known.
Indeed it is very sad someone died. Being deaf doesn't make someone having to watch the road and seeing the lights flashing to be pulled over. If the person didn't speed than I doubt the cops would pull him over and neither would it happen if the person went just a few miles over the speed limit.
It seems right now a chase occurred.
We need to know how fast the guy going and why didn't he stop but kept speeding.
It is sad that someone died!
You mean the facts the police are working on now? To get their story straight?
You live in Floriduh, just a couple of weeks ago a civilian woman was killed by a cop during a training exercise(only in FL), are you aware the cop who did the shooting had been fired from another police dept. in FL?
And how are "we" going to find out why he didn't stop? Only the deaf guy knows and he is dead.
They need to be held accountable like everyone else. Not get a paid vacation and than go back to work.
I can guarantee that police officer is suffering a great deal. He made a decision which appears to be completely off center and he is paying for it in his head in his heart and in his soul. No person recovers from this easily. Add to that if it was unjustified he will never work as a cop again and perhaps will face charges and go to jail.
You mean like the cop in Chicago? He is heard complaining about getting put on desk job for 30 days, that was his concern.
Your last sentence was correct. I'm sure he is worried about his future. But that's about it.
No it wasn't. He said he was trying to shoot the autistic man playing with his toy truck.
Could the autistic man rose up, raced over and strangled the officer to death maybe?
Accidental discharge was the wrong word to use, the man was hit by accident is what I meant. The cop wasn't trying to kill a guy with his hands up like you insinuated.
Yes it is if they posed a danger to someone's life in some way. You can do that without a gun you know.
Well, it shouldn't be. In 2016 there should be a way to take out a perp who is without a firearm (or with!) without needing to kill them with a firearm. There should be. I will not be shamed into believing otherwise. I've been pulled over I don't know how many times and it's never been a siren that let me know that a police cruiser was on my six. As a deaf driver I would think that scanning in the rear and side mirrors would be a survival technique, for just this reason. Does that justify murder? Does subsequent difficulty in communication justify murder? I, for one, say no! It does not.
The lot of you are quite the sight twisting in discomfort at all that is obvious, seem quite unable to say it. What uncharacteristic restraint. What's that about? IMO the officer who fired the shot was wrong. Hasty and wrong and it cost a citizen their life.
