WOW.
73 “experts” responding to this post.
Let me point out a few things:
1. You weren’t there. You have no idea what actually happened.
2. Your response ought to vascilate somewhere in the area of “Gee, that sounds odd. I’m interested in hearing the entire context of the event so I don’t rush to judgement and say something ignorant”
3. You that posted “Gosh, why didn’t they just shoot him in the leg or something”: That was the same comment made by Hillary Clinton about US Soldiers in Bosnia. It was ignorant then and is equally ignorant now.
4. The last two shootings I’ve been involved in have involved death by cops wishers that got their wish - not by law enforcement’s choice but by their own.
5. Would anyone here rather read the headline “Drug Crazed Naked Man Shoots and Kills South Alabama Police Officer with His Service Weapon”.
6. They’re the Jaguars, by the way. No affilation with the 14 time National Champion University of Alabama Crimson Tide.
Rangers Lead the Way.
The victim's mother describes her son as 5'7" and 135 lbs. I'm sure the officer was larger and outweighed him considerably. Sheds a little more light upon the ridiculous, excessive use of lethal force by this campus police officer.
