Hundreds of people, and growing, in front of a burning Wendy’s which is next door to a gas station with no fire trucks allowed in. Darwin awards to be given tomorrow.

Wonder if they’ll trash CNN again? That was pretty entertaining

I dunno what this guy weighed but he was fighting like a beast and the cops needed backup but didn’t have time.
Probably was on more than just alcohol.
Bernie Kerik said it appears justified b/c he could have tased the officers then grabbed their guns.
Yet the family has already lawyered up, and things are burning.
Here we go.

It is a shame. 20 people just lost their job.

What’s next? Cops will be given batons and a gun with a single bullet they must carry in their pocket.

Seriously — the police will be given rules of engagement that will place their lives in danger.

Who would want that job?

It’s terrible. People’s livelihoods. Yeah, we saw it from the start inside the drive through window and then dining room. It was going to be gone. So sad.

“Look, you don’t get to shoot someone who might tase you, and what officer worth his salt lets his taser get away from him? And why the hell stop him immediately? Tomorrow is another day. I AM SICK OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!! IT HAS TO STOP!!!!!”

How did the officer not know the weapon might have been his partners service revolver? Stop giving these sub humans a pass. How hard is it to comply with officers demands?

Have Normals really wanted to be Policemen since Police Departments went PC all those years ago. And when the quality of Police go down, you compensate with hardware, which is why they have so much military gear now.

Yeah yet if you move to Poland will you still cheer for Florida to defeat Georgia in the Jacksonville game?

It'a a Badge of Honor to do it. This is the same shit they had during The Troubles in Ireland.

Let’s get this straight. Blacks think civil rights means they are allowed to fight with police, point unknown objects that look like guns at them, and the police should not be able to defend themselves? No, grow up.
