Be good to NEVER VISIT SEATTLE!
It's as crazy there as Las Vegas.
Definitely a bad shoot.
That payment is weak.
Not enough. The cop needs to go to jail for murder.
Good! A slice of justice anyway. What really needs to happen though is for Ian Birk to be spending the next 50 years getting ass raped in a federal prison. THAT would be justice.
That's just great.
This cop was trigger happy at best. He’s been fired already. I just hope that he is run out of the state.
That's good to know, for future reference, if I am ever careless, negligent, reckless, arrogant, trigger-happy, paranoid with a firearm - just so long as I'm not malicious.
Oh, wait, I need a badge first.
Here is the video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcxqyp2wOzE
I love how the moderators go behind me a strip out all the topics and key words I put in when I post these types of stories.
I also notice who they don’t do that is I post a story n the economy or such...
Considering that I’ve butted heads with them in the past for changing my titles (which I always thought was a no-no here).
They suspended me for posting news articles such as this one and just outright trying to silence me from posting stories that detail criminal acts committed by cops.
It makes you wonder...
If memory serves me correctly, some here were actually defending the LEO.
Wow. Dunkin donuts emptied out.
I’m glad the city is paying something, but the cop should be charged at least with manslaughter. (I think a good prosecutor could have gotten a conviction on that. My guess is the prosecutor didn’t want to ruffle cop feathers, for whatever reason.)
I watched the video, and it is just incredible. If *I* had been the poor guy who was accosted by the cop, I would have gotten shot too! Because just about the time I would have figured out that someone *behind me* was yelling at me, and finally figured it out a bit, and turned around . . . I would have been shot dead. I think the same is true for many people. Plus the poor man was deaf. Anyone who can watch that video and tell me it is NOT a bad shoot is not living in the same world I am.
I am glad the city paid for what they did to that poor man. The video of that incident haunts me. It was like watching something out of Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union.
One thing about the USSA is that it is an equal opportunity slayer of the innocent. Remember that academy grad military guy who was murdered in the store for legally carrying a gun? He was murdered while laying on the floor. I wonder if his family got paid for the slaughter of their beautiful son?
