Police are trained in levels of threat response to situations, escalation/deescalation, the suspect was running from the officer with no obvious weapon therefore no longer posed threat, the officer was supposed to follow his training and deescalate not escalate to the use of deadly force. The officer basically was caught committing an illegal execution, i.e. he intentionally murdered the subject.I`m against shooting a man 8 times in the back, always have been. Perhaps this cop is a Chris Kyle wannabe who joined the police force for all the wrong reasons.Guess we know which side of the law you guys are on huh.
(goes from condition 3 to condition 1 is a very overt manner)
Police are trained to empty their weapons if they fire. Under combat stress most will revert to whatever they've been trained to do.
Sorry.....there is a gap in the video....where the witness said they engaged in a struggle before he started video taping.....it more than likely was not an execution but inability to control his actions during the struggle....and yes...there was distance between the two....but we see the distance from the side....from the comfort of our chairs in front of our computers......
A completely different point of view in the middle of it......
Please people ....study combat....study shooting and the chemica reaction to combat.....then you would have some clue other than as people sitting at their computers.....
A novel excuse: it was a "combat situation".
I'm of a time when shooting a man in the back was the worst kind of cowardice and hardly a "combat situation".
Gotta love RWs.
All we hear from them is that women are solely responsible for pregnancy and should keep their legs closed. Now, suddenly, being behind in child support is a capital offense. Apparently, running away is also punishable by death, on the spot, no due process.
Some RWs have even said Scott deserved to be shot because he might have committed a crime.
And above, where Obama is blamed. With the rabid right, its always someone elses fault/responsibility - preferably, the president.
