This Cop Is Getting $2,500 a Month Because Killing an Unarmed Man in a Hotel Hallway Gave Him PTSD

So no civilians, who's threat couldn't be determined, were ever killed in Iraq?

 

Not by me. And I didn't find it particularly difficult to achieve that.

 

You werent getting called out, by yourself, to address people who may be drugged up, psychotic, or mentally unstable.

You were in a unit, and in most cases the opposition you were policing were taking an aggressive position before you had to evaluate.

From that point on, it's on.

Sorry, I been in those situations. They are not the same as being a police officer in those situations.

And to answer my question, yes sometimes civilians were killed. Not by me either, but it happened.

 

How do you know what I was called out to do or who I had to deal with?

How is that a point in your favor?

I agree. They're not the same. The situation I was in was far more dangerous and complex than the situations faced by police officers in America. Yet I was held to a higher standard they are. That is perverse.

 

Not following a cops instructions is no justification for a death sentence. Wtf is wrong with you?

 

Not really.

And the basis for this accusation is...?

Cite the applicable law that says so.

No, he shot a man he had reason to think was armed and dangerous.

The evidence you've presented doesn't clear that bar, unless I missed something upthread.

I'm all for it. Let's end it by making illegal drug dealing a capital crime.

 

You mean like reaching behind you after being told many times not to do that or they would be forced to respond?

 

Reaching behind you is when told time and again not to.

 

The cop didn't get convicted because the guy didn't follow instructions. That being said, the cop was so overly aggressive that the poor guy was too nervous to follow the instructions. In this instance, my personal opinion is that this cop is an ****** and shouldn't have gotten off so easily. Also, why can't they use tranquilizer darts in situations like this? That guy didn't need to die

 

Why point assault rifles at a guy for doing something that wasn't illegal in the first place?

 

Still better than forum jurors on the internet!

 

Actually no it's not. Not even close! I don't give a shT what you think, disobeying an "order" is no justification to be shot dead. WTF is wrong with you?

 

This happens more than you think in " Suicide by cop" situations.

 

Actually it is, in many situations.

 

Actually it's not. Ever.

 

You're entitled to your uneducated opinion.

 

It would take one very sick human to think it's ok for a man to take a life because the person didn't obey his order. Are cops god? Should they ever be judge, jury, and executioner under any circumstances? Of course not! This "officer" should be punished to the full extent of law.
