Corinth officer's gun used to shoot him in chest and shoulder
How bout this. It's almost Mike Brown Part 2. Except......
A cop responded to a suspicious prowler call. Sees a thug (race not disclosed by media). Before officer is out of his car...UNARMED thug charges him. Fights cop. GOES FOR COPS GUN. Fight for gun ensues. Thug manages to enough of a hold on the gun to turn it....and shoot the cop twice in the chest. THANK GOD...the cops vest stopped the .40 cal bullet....which saves countless cop lives every year (without that....cop deaths would soar).
NOW....what if the cop had won the fight for the gun....like Darren Wilson did....and no he shot the unarmed man who was trying to take his gun (which we now see is obviously a danger)?
The media headlines....and DontTazeMeBro headlines.....would be COP SHOOTS UNARMED MAN.
SO.....cop haters....when someone goes for a cops gun....what should they do? The fight is on. Lose that fight....and you may very well be dead. So....should police academies continue to train cops that when someone fights for the gun...deadly force is authorized? If not...why not?
