Yeah, even if he shot in error, i’d consider that a training issue, to be handled administratively. If you, through your willful refusal to act within the law, force an officer to make an instant decision, he may choose incorrectly. That’s the chance you take when you decide to go all Johnny Outlaw.
Yeppers. I saw lots of people here at FR outraged at the cop in the Sandra Bland case.
But right or wrong, she KNEW. We ALL know - you mouth off to a cop like that and you’re going downtown.
This Dubose guy failed to obey orders. He’s now dead.
Discuss if the cop was right or wrong all day long, if ya like. But Dubose is still dead.
And Cincy will burn tonight. Oh well.
So the cop shoots a guy to death when he had no valid reason to and you consider that nothing more THAN A TRAINING ISSUE????? What does he have to do to be considered criminally responsible?
