Wow, this is going to get ugly...

 

[Classic]

The most disturbing thing about all of these stories I've read, is the willingness of police officials to LIE until some video or other evidence shows up to contradict their story. Despicable.

I love how they make a big deal about how many times they got shot. If they deserved it, 1 is the same as 41. If they didn't, even 1 is too many.

the phone is like a computer, if its deleted, it can still be retrieved, just have to have a techie on it

If you are ever authorized to use deadly force, try shooting them 41 times (obviously reloading SEVERAL times) and see how that holds up in court. No big deal just a few extra warning shots!

Unless he had a drum magazine!

Ahh yes... the evil drum magazine. I believe it says he took the time to reload.

The reason he was shot only 41 times,...........they didn't have 42

Good Lord.

Well, do remember a while back we had an officer pump an unusual number of rounds into the back of a suspects car. Only after one began to read about it did it reveal that the subject had shot at the officer as he approached the car. Given the situation, I believe the final decision was good shoot. Not saying the current subject is, just saying let's wait and see.

Now you know why Andy only gave Barney one bullet. Good Lord!

You're right, of course. It appears this is being investigated for both criminal prosecution as well as policy violations, so I guess we wait and see.

Let's all pass judgement based on the news article. After all, we all know that the media always gets the details right and never reports with an agenda.

The suspect was obviously a zombie. The officer must have not gone for the head.... I mean come on, this isn't rocket science

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

Interestingly, worst case I carry 41 rounds. I would definitely have to reload a couple of times, though.

Definitely want to keep an eye on this as more facts are released but I'm not falling to either side. There is always more to the story.

Only thing that annoys me is when the family always makes the vic out to be this saint. "Oh he was such a good boy and he only ran from the police because he was scared of them."

Everyone is coming down on the media for not getting things straight. Yet no one seems to note the OP subject line says "Unarmed man shot 41 times by police. "

The article states "Shot At 41 Times", there is a difference, a big difference. I'm not saying the cop was right or wrong, I was not there. But the OP could have been more accurate as well.

Maybe I am nit picking. However, I'm just tired of misleading subject lines.

Shot at 41 times, only hit once.

And that was a ricochet.


Just my guess.

What do they mean "unarmed"?
