Yet another one — Cops gun down 20-yr-old black male near Las Vegas

42. you do realize that a car is a weapon in the wrong hands?

Once he jumped into the driver's seat whether he was reaching for a weapon or not all bets are off - the vehicle itself is a weapon. This isn't the fault of police as far as I can tell, and looking at that video bopping around all over the place and taken from so far away nobody can tell what the hell happened. Seeing as they were so reluctant to approach him too closely he may have had some kind of weapon. How many times have the cop haters here blown a gasket because the cops DID jump on someone to arrest them and cry the blues that they didn't try talking the person down first or handled them gently, and I distinctly recall in one shit on the police threads where people were saying they should have HUGGED the crazy nut running screaming through an airport. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Here's an idea, want to complain that cops aren't doing their job correctly no matter what they do or don't do? Sign your own ass up. Go through the training, and if you can even cut the mustard, work as a cop for a few years dealing with the kind of dangerous shit they have to do every day and then come back and tell everyone what you think about it. Until then your opinions about what they should or shouldn't have done and what their training is or is not isn't worth spit. Hell, you don't even know what the hell even HAPPENED in this case since the video is so crap and taken from so far way and you can't tell, and all that can be heard is the bozos taking the video at a safe distance in the safety of their car trying to guess and complaining all the while themselves.

As for the police not saying anything about the incident. Well, DUH. They aren't allowed to until after an investigation is completed. Surely one as you that believes they know everything about what the police are or aren't supposed to do and how they are or aren't supposed to do it in every situation (and even those situations where you can't see shit about what the hell is happening in the first place) would at least know THAT much.

The only failure I'm seeing here is your OP. Just another in an enormously long line of cop hating BS by cop haters who think they know everything and are even omniscient about every single case while too chicken shit to sign their own ass up.
