Video shows cop shoot without warning at man firing into air

[PTWB]

81. Thanks for your response.

I linked you the video two days ago when it was released but you didn’t respond to that post. The video was released incredibly quickly.

Have you ever been in the immediate vicinity of someone rapidly firing a rifle? It isn’t like the movies. Rapid fire from a rifle like that is deafeningly loud.

There is exactly zero possibility that the officer could have effectively communicated any sort of verbal warning or order. There’s no chance it could be heard over the gunfire and there’s no time to wait for the person to finish mag dumping.

It’s sad that this person was killed. It really is. But they were rapidly, indiscriminately, and blindly firing a rifle in the middle of a city. They were an active deadly threat to everyone in the area where those bullets were landing.

You may have missed it earlier but I posted a series of articles about people who were recently killed and wounded by so-called celebratory gunfire.

If the cop had failed to take action after having had an opportunity to intervene, and one of those bullets had struck an innocent person somewhere in the city, the cop would have had to live with that for the rest of his life.

This shooting was 100% justified and 100% the fault of the active shooter who was firing indiscriminately with his rifle.
