Where are the holster sniffers? 15 posts thus far and not one saying how brave the police were and how the man deserved to get shot.
Good thing he wasn't delivering newspapers...
It always is, and it always works.
I wonder how many police forces are regularly target practicing on the “no more hesitation targets”?
What does the police dashboard security camera footage show?
And a promotion, probably.
So, who called them? Did this guy get a low grade version of SWATted?
Congressional investigation into steroid doping by today’s active and retired police (those receiving lifetime pensions).
There needs to be home security camera footage with off site backup. We are all worried about the government spying on us all the time, but we need total recording of everything around us for our own protection - makes me think there is another sales point for Google Glass, as well.
These cops are dangerous this day and age. The casual attitude they have towards taking someone's life, [shooting them] demonstrates their distain for human life [other that theirs] and makes them poor public servants as they like to crow that they are. But they obey orders well, which will come in handy when they are ordered to round up the sheep for the slaughter,
Sounds to me like they tried to shoot him in the back but just got the backs of his legs. If all these LEOs are so damned afraid of their safety, why are they hiring such pussies.
If there were any real reporters there, they’d be investigating where there really was a “report of a car break-in” Get the 911 tapes. Investigate the background of the victim AND the records of the officers involved. Make the police prove to them there actually was a weapon in the car that can be tied to anyone at the residence.
But I guess you know where that will go.
It is best to keep the reporters out of it. Someway they will make it George Zimmerman’s fault.
He looked like the family dog.
Investigative journalism now days is just one report asking another “Do you think this will hit the wires or even go ‘Network’ ?”
That’s a damn long time to get a cigarette out of a car — so long that a neighbor sits and watches so long that he decides to call the police? — and off-the-graph fast response time by the PD.
Zimmerman would not have reacted so violently without cause. Fire these donut farmers and hire him.
“...placed on administrative leave...”
All comments aside about their egregious actions, how about some remedial firearms training, too? They shoot as well as LAPD (ala those poor newspaper delivery women).
Lucky guy.
Was the victim black and the cops white or, was it the other way around? Perhaps it was “black on black”. No way to tell just yet. Where are the race baiters on this?
I am reserving my judgment comments until further details come forth.....
My mothers car is full of bullet holes though.
"...they could fire so many shots at him.
So... they shot all these times and hit him once in the leg?
