Right, but, a few articles have cited that the cops on scene were using the cop cars to push the kid towards the fence while waiting for a taser equipped patrol car to arrive. Then out of nowhere, cop exits and unloads on the kid. Another fun caveat, the knife when removed from kid was not unfolded.

So why did the newest on comer to scene decide to just exit vehicle and shoot?

Releasing the video was dumb, cause to me and I am sure many other non LEO this looks like murder.

Ive read the same reports... those are the things that we can figure out till we hear from him.

I agree releasing the video was not good... but my understanding is it was required by some law or judge to be released...even with a deadline "or else."

Yea someone filed for public access and they agreed it should be made available. IMO it completely ruins the aspect of an unbiased jury, which may come to the cops advantage. Who knows.

And ya know, just as I don't lump all cops being bad cause of one idiot, you don't have to defend every cop just cause you are a cop ;)

Lol. U say that everytime. If u remember i even said it was excessive after the shot that put the guy down.


I am only defending the truth and not the verdicts that the public may come to by watching a video.

Thats all. The cop that shot that black guy dead that was running away... i never once defended the officers actions.

Nah I know, just reminding you to treat it like a debate, I ain't accusing anyone of anything.

Whats interesting is the very obvious shut down after one maybe two shots from a 9mm. Lucky shot, cause blanketing the kid with 16 shots after screams poor shooter :lol:

Your Jersey Shore is leaking. If you are walking around the middle of the street in an altered state and have some sort of weapon in hand I do not think it will end well for you.

Perhaps, it has been a few months since beach weather.

That being said, cops on scene didn't shoot, why did this cop show up and unload?

We will have to wait and see what he says.

Really wish there was sound for us to make better judgment... but even then we need inside the officers mind as we are not in the heat of it, or forced to assess the situation in 10 seconds.
