We give so much money away, we need to start providing for these people, like someone said, we broke this kid and put him out on the street, to deal with his mental illness....after affecting his life in such a horrible way, so now a cop suffers....why? If he'd have killed his mother in her sleep, we wouldn't be having this conversation would we? We would probably not even know, he had a mental problem...

I find this all so disturbing? Even worse, that a cop has to suffer because of it. He will probably never be the same...

what people are too self imposed to understand anymore, is how our actions, affect others, in so many ways...people talk before they think, including myself...but they don't actually realize the situation unless the same exact situation happens to them, and it will never happen to them in the same exact way...

people are always ready to point fingers...at someone, including me....and I guess it's out of frustration, sadness....but it's not always the cops fault.

How many people have cops shot, who have had rap sheets a mile long, and yet, "oh he was a good boy", and the cops the bad guy. I'd love to see cops walk off their jobs, in some large city, just once and let people fend for themselves, oh, boy, would they be screaming for protection.
Current Medicaid facilities are gruesome as well. This is the real world in the US; If we don't see it, it doesn't exist. I understand why the US spends money internationally, but it's off topic for this thread.

The current state of LE is a mixed bag of assorted issues. The differences can be seen across adjoining counties. It's also an item to discuss in a long thread of its own. I've been to three LEO funerals in 2017 alone. As to good/bad cops, some jurisdictions have bad cops who shouldn't be on the force. I don't mean criminally bad, just they simply don't belong on the force. As I said, it is its own thread.

That's first degree murder by that cop.

There was no need to approach him. The cops instigated the confrontation. They were the aggressors. Just get a net or wait him out.

LOL, would that be a cast net or just one of those big ole nets they use on salt water fishing. That is hilarious.

You can see him walking towards the officer. The fact that he had a weapon is considered an attack.

I was thinking one of those snare nets from Batman, the type that fires from a grenade launcher... the one that has steel weights on all 4 corners that flail about and tangle the bad guy and conveniently knot around their ankles... and have a hook so you can string them up or tow them to the paddy wagon...

Shucks can't have those because militarized police force.

How about... if you value your life you do as you are told, and put the weapon down drop to your knees with both hands visible... no that's too much like common sense... that could never happen...


This person got what they wanted... however it's backfiring. Becoming a martyr for the cause...

Evidence? Think logically for a second, if a guy walks toward you with a weapon and refuse to obey orders, would that be considered a threat to your well being?

LOL, a net. It's so funny when the Coyote tries to make comments about police actions. You should stick to trying (failing) to catch the Road Runner.
