Iirc it's legally justifiable to shoot a fleeing man if there's reason to believe letting him go is a danger to society.

For the sake of efficiency I'd say you should do it alongside the circumcision. You know, 2 birds with one stone.

For the first time in a long time in these hate cop cases.. I unfortunately have to side against the cop. The man is mentally ill, throwing rocks, and only one person tried to taze him. Fact is they didn't try hard enough to stop this man before shooting him. When I was Active Duty we had worse than this guy in Afg. and if we shot and killed an Afg. Civilian for throwing rocks we would go to prison. Complete an utter bullshit. These guys aren't cops in my mind.. they are cowards who were afraid of a man with rocks .

...rocks are easy to find . And a person who has already assaulted a cop can be expected to continue the assault by other means such as a hidden weapon .

Stretch credulity less. If he had such a hidden weapon; it would have come out before a rock was thrown. If I threw a rock at you 10 minutes ago, how long until you no longer fear for your life? And didn't you throw rocks at cops in your youth? Something something real protesters...

...not a stretch at all . We live in a time in which many individuals and organized groups are advocating open warfare against the police , they have been put on their guard .

And yes , I was involved in many violent confrontations with the police during anti-war demonstrations but I knew what I was doing was illegal and expected to get my head cracked open at the very least . I never expected or wanted to police to react passively to our protests .

So Kent State was perfectly acceptable to you?

I can no more see you in a violent protest than I can see you handing out clean towels at the abortion clinic.

...pay close attention - if someone was threatening me with a rock I would shoot him at least twice . Police should have the same right .

Quote (Santara @ Feb 18 2015 10:21am)

The stretch is that a cop REASONABLY fears for his life from a rock thrower with no rocks. That's not credible, and if you actually think it is, you're gullible. And I don't think you're gullible.

Maybe they're on their guard because they kill a thousand people a year and people are getting tired that they get off scot free?

So the cops would have been perfectly justified mowing a bunch of you down, right?
