That is truly incredible; those cops should be jailed for life for what they did to that man. It wasn’t attempted murder, but that man would have lost years of his life behind bars and carried a serious criminal record for the rest of his life.
There is no other way to stop cops from doing that, and it lends credence to blacks who insist that they were set up.
Mark Steyn had a good piece in May that I just found and posted the other day...the title is not what one traditionally thinks about with gun control.

From the article by Steyn:
“As I always say in these circumstances, if you need to shoot a schizophrenic, a teenage partygoer, a lame septuagenarian, a confused hobo, etc, etc, etc, you’re doing it wrong. “The book” is the problem. “The book” is what needs to change. Anyone who goes into law enforcement assumes the risk that a traffic stop might turn out to be something more. Mr Tolan, Miss Ramsey and the rest of us should not have to assume any such risk. In routine encounters with law enforcement, a citizen should not have to weigh the likelihood that the officer will decide to shoot him dead. That’s about as basic a standard for civilized society as one can muster.”
I don’t even follow this stuff. You would think that I do, but I’m just coming across more and more of these things in recent months as a casual observer.
This was another one from not too long back out of Moore, OK. The police were called to a movie theatre parking lot regarding a separate incident about drunks or something. A citizen pointed out something that had also occurred that appeared to be a family dispute. Turns out a mom had slapped her 19 year old daughter for lying and having a naughty mouth. The father ended up dying. The lead up is not on video, but the aftermath is. The spouse took the video. Like this New York man, he was basically a goner right there.

If you go to this link below there is a supposedly a picture of Luis Rodriguez after his encounter with police:
