Yeah, that was pretty terrible, and i expected some bullshit once the video released.
She didnt have to die that day easily. His big ass couldve just literally full nelson’d shorty once he was on top of her until help came which was seconds after he backed off and pulled his gun on her, and this would be over.
So you come in, wrestle shorty into a seat and have her essentially pinned where she is, then you slam her down, taking the advantage, and then for an unknown reason you back up and pull your gun on her and i assume command her to put down the weapon and blah blah, she doesnt because shes crazy, hence why shes in the police department doing what shes doing, and she gets bopped.
The thing is, there isnt really anything to charge him with either other then being stupid and putting himself and others at risk.
I mean, how do you put yourself at risk the entire time scuffling with her, and then once you can end it after slamming her down, youre like nah, lemme just back up so i can shoot this bitch.
I dont even know what to say anymore on this, cause niggas will argue how difficult it is to take down some teenage female, ignoring how easily this couldve been prevented in the first place. This dude is a grown man, and couldnt handle a 17 year old female. Kill ya self, nigga.
Fucking hell. It’s one thing to restrain someone before they have their knife drawn, but another entirely to let them get up and try to kill someone first.
I knew she had to have actually tried to charge one of them down, but, man, not like that. She should never have been given the chance.
No excuses. It was a necessary shooting (I couldn’t see a taser on the officer), but it was sure as fuck preventable. Cop who first attempted to restrain her should be fired and charged with third degree murder or something.
I’d obviously be lying if I said I was surprised to see terribad policing. Probably the only example where being a little White girl cost someone their life since you know good and damn well, if that was a man or a colored person, that ass would’ve been handcuffed with a foot on their neck until the other officers came.
The only defense I can see for that cop is that that definitely looked like suicide by cop, but still, very easily prevented.
(Ah, so there is video of what happened. I’ll have to watch it later.)
Yeah, it’s not really surprising that cops are overweight and out-of-shape given how much of America as a whole is overweight, never mind how many are obese. All the training in the world isn’t going to help very much if there’s no talk about dietary stuff and keeping yourself fit enough to enact that training, especially if your one of those police usually stuck at a sedentary desk job and then something relatively rare like this happens.
'Murica, Land of the Free-to-Donuts.
Unfortunately we both know that the “something” would at best just be a slap on the wrist reprimand for stupid tactics and then maybe paid leave for a while. It’s part of the reason why people are pissed off in the first place after all about this police-related stuff that makes even the good cops look really bad.
For the record, I’m not sure jailing him at this point would solve anything except for maybe getting him killed though. He definitely needs to be fired, however, especially if it’s as incompetent as the comments in here are making it seem. Fat chance at that happening.
Last I checked, there’s health awareness fucking everywhere. Look at the fattest nations in the OECD, though, they’re all first world, bar Mexico.
Talk is everywhere, but it’s just so easy to get fat. There’s gotta be professional consequences for not staying in shape and departments need to start making their physical requirements more stringent.
I mean, I say this as a pretty unfit dude, but hey, my job doesn’t rest on my fitness.
