Re: Police Shoot & Kill Man Wielding a Golf Club During a Drug House Raid
“He had some silver thing. ... I thought it was a sword or something,” Burnett said. “It was silverish and thin. “I didn’t think about saying words. I just thought about not getting hit, or slashed or whatever.” And shooting 3 times? |

Re: Police Shoot & Kill Man Wielding a Golf Club During a Drug House Raid
I watched that vid very closely, the cop was NOT in swinging distance, he could have ordered the man to drop his weapon, the man was confused , he probubly thought it was a home invasion. this is unprofessional stupidity. he shot on instinct not on intellect.

Re: Police Shoot & Kill Man Wielding a Golf Club During a Drug House Raid
well i can see where in a split second he had to decide to shoot the drug dealer that just came around the corner yelling and holding a weapon. lol if i was as close as that police officer was and the dude jumped around the corner with a weapon yelling, id probably shot him too

Re: Police Shoot & Kill Man Wielding a Golf Club During a Drug House Raid
Is it ok If I send this elsewhere? I havent seen it before but am sick of seeing crap like this. Who gives a fuck if the guy did sell meth? Theirs a hell of a lot worse going on that people are walking away from. |

Re: Police Shoot & Kill Man Wielding a Golf Club During a Drug House Raid
murdering trigger happy cock suckers. A long glimmering shiny gun? what if it was a sword? he was holding it back. The officer could have just gave it one half of one second and IF the guy came at him, THEN let him have it. The guy was paralyzed, and blown away. The cop should be charged with first degree murder; anyone else would be. |

Re: Police Shoot & Kill Man Wielding a Golf Club During a Drug House Raid
Now we're arguing semantics. He was, as you say "standing still", and was not close enough to be a real threat, whether he was armed with a sword, a golf club or a baseball bat. Nonetheless, this was blatant use of excessive force.  |
