Apparently that is exactly what they want. Methinks the OP was inspired by a Daily Kos email.Different town, different cops, different situation. It is a good encounter that doesn't end in bloodshed. Why are you complaining? Would you rather this man was killed?
Backpedaling noted. Your claim that he was "threatening people" is bullshit.Another white guy with a gun threatening people and he's still breathing. Amazing....ly predictable
Pure, unadulterated manufactured bullshit. Who was he threatening? The gun never left his shoulder.
Open carry is legal where he lives.
OH MY GOD! THAT MAN IS EXERCISING HIS RIGHTS! SHOOT HIM!
You're right, why cant an old drunk white guy with an assault rifle be left alone?
Hell its not like the police told him to get out of the street....Oh wait
Well, its not like that guy gave the police attitude because attitude gets people killed....oh wait...
He was drunk in public...thats a crime and you are saying give him a pass from being drunk in public because he has a firearm.
What the fuck is this? Bizzaro world
What the fuck this is is you shifting goalposts.
You said he was "threatening people" and are mystified as to why he was still breathing.
Pure, unadulterated bullshit. He was not threatening anyone, dickweed.
Only in bizzaro world would jaywalking be grounds for the use of lethal force.
Idiot.
Tell me about it but I've been told for 2 weeks that people who dont listen to police get shot. Now those same people suddenly dont feel that way anymore.
Must be the 2 weeks huh? lol

There is also no evidence the man in the OP was drunk. This has been assumed.
Say things had went differently and MB did beat the cop unconsciousness, how does that story end??
I mean, does MB, back out of the police car while carefully pulling the unconscious officer up and sitting him neatly in his seat. Taking time to straighten out his uniform, place his hat correctly on his head and then just gently leave, while him and DJ laughed and mad jokes ......................... just like in the movies.
What if he had knocked him out then took his weapon and shot him, what then??
How was that supposed to end??

CC give it a moron break, yes he was drunk in public. Yes he had a firearm. Yes he was told to get out of the street.
I ask you the same questions as your other moronic friends, the multitude of "available responses" was thrust upon this forum time after time by race baiter's such as you. You would be the first to suggest the use of a taser or other non lethal force alternative had the man been black, regardless of whether he had just allegedly committed a strong-arm-robbery and then when confronted by the police .....................
Say, CC you are just the moron to answer this question .........

Tell me about it but I've been told for 2 weeks that people who dont listen to police get shot. Now those same people suddenly dont feel that way anymore.
Must be the 2 weeks huh? lol
So the police saying several times that they felt threatened and he was aggressive should be ignored because only taking the gun off his shoulder is aggressive?
Wait...wait...So the police blocking off the street doesnt mean anything either?
Wait wait wait...the people who called the police shouldnt feel threatened because what again?
Fuck outta here. The guy is aggressive with the police, jaywalking, didnt ID himself while carrying a gun and he goes home at night.

Funny, because I've also been told that a guy 15-20 feet away is an immediate threat, because he can travel a certain distance per second. But apparently, it would take this man much longer to point his weapon and shoot.
Learn the difference between threatening and life threatening. When you do come back and we'll talk.
Was this old asshole a threat? Yes, I'm quite sure many people felt threatened by him. Was he a reasonable threat to anyones' lives? No. case closed. tough shit if you dont like it.
I keep asking you where you are getting this "charging" bullshit from but I guess you didnt hear me the first 4 times lol
Weird huh? You heard the same thing?

I think going by a fictional "what if" is a what they call a straw man.

I asked you a question:

No, I'm sorry I didn't see that. too any off topic tax posts and such.
I have been clear on that. IF the evidence points to him charging the cop. Most reasonable people are going to agree that a man gets shot on top of the head from 20 feet away because he has his head lowered like he's Mike Ditka ready to charge a QB.
I certainly leave room for other explanations as more evidence comes to light.
He retrieved his rifle the next day. No charges were filed. Open carry advocates demonstrate often across the country, just not like a buffoon.Learn the difference between threatening and life threatening. When you do come back and we'll talk.

Typical idiot argument. Pick one small detail and harp on that.This is the problem with stupid ignorant people. They cannot see differences between two similar but different situations.
The man was not presenting an immediate threat. I cant even tell if the gun is loaded. Yeah he was drunk and obnoxious but he never pointed the gun at anyone. And as far as I can tell he never had his finger on the trigger. The jaywalking charge is just trumped up bullshit.
If you had taken the time to actually watch the video, you would see that the officer who picked the gun up emptied cartridges out of it. It WAS loaded. That's the problem with stupid, ignorant people. They don't even take time to watch, listen or read before shooting off at the mouth.
The guy never really presented a threat. He really wasnt doing anything illegal anyway. He hadnt strongarmed a store owner. He hadnt acted aggressively. The cops didnt need to shoot him and it would have been a bad shoot.
You're digging yourself deeper and deeper on this one.

This crazy-assed, drunk white dude, jaywalking, confronted by cops, refuses to put down his gun. He was not carrying ID.
The cops talked patiently with him for 10 full minutes.
The crazy-assed, drunk white dude was talking about revolution. His name is Joseph Houseman. I wonder if his name is associated with a Tea Party chapter in Michigan...
This incident happened in Kalamazoo, Michigan in May 2014.
I wonder how patient the cops would have treated him had he not been white.
The man was never charged. Why was this man never charged? Why does a crazy-assed, drunken white senior man get a pass for breaking the law?
Hmmmmm.....

But you kept saying thats what happened and FINALLY you admit you just threw it in there as a excuse. Thanks for playing.
