#140: "The "perp" is the officer who killed the man."

Yes, you are correct. The cop is the primary killer here. If he had acted rationally, then this incident would have remained an ugly "prank" and we wouldn't even be talking about it.

I'm also concerned that in the one photo of the victim which I saw, the victim appeared to be black. If that is the case, watch out. I don't have a lot of sympathy with BLM, but there have been cases where cops murdered an innocent black man.

And the played out mantra of "he was reaching for his waistband" has got to end.

It's like that woman killed by "a hunter" recently while she was walking her dogs on her own property. Rambo said he thought he was shooting a deer. If you aren't 110% sure of what you see, don't pull the trigger.

Like the movie but I could never buy Kurt Russell (with his dorky crooked mustache) as Earp. I kept thinking Goofy or Donald was going to jump out of the haymow.

Val Kilmore, of course, killed as the Doc. Without him it was just big star hambones milling around.

Kilmer’s ‘Doc’ was the best. ‘You’re a daisy if you do.’ ‘I’m your huckleberry ‘. ‘You’re no daisy ‘

"YES, HE WAS NOT ARMED. "

He should have armed himself.

“Lol....so I should hear about it on the news when a cop refrains from shooting unarmed civilians?”


Can’t you read?

I did NOT say that you SHOULD hear it,I said that you don’t hear it. I could not care less if it’s reported or not——it’s not news.

Agreed. The cops had no legitimate reason to fear for their lives. Make an example of the cop. Put the SWATter away for a long stretch. And make Wichita pay the family twice the pension the cop would have got upon normal retirement.

I'm also concerned that in the one photo of the victim which I saw, the victim appeared to be black. If that is the case, watch out. I don't have a lot of sympathy with BLM, but there have been cases where cops murdered an innocent black man.

He looks pretty white to me:

Apparently, you can’t read. You said: “When a cop does NOT kill an innocent civilian you never read about it in the news.” My statement stands. It was an extremely sarcastic statement on my part...but I guess that’s why you didn’t get it. LOL. The POINT was your comment was STUPID. Of COURSE we shouldn’t hear about it on the news. GOOD GRIEF. DUMB!

The person who fired the shot should hang right next to the idiot caller.
