maybe THIS is one of those reasons that cops should WAIT to see what the person is holding or doing before opening fire, even if he wasn't 13.
guess not. that whole officer safety thing needs to be observed, especially if they panic at garden hoses.
According to their testimony, the witness testimony, and the 911 call, everyone except the dead guy thought it was a gun and it was being pointed at them in a two-handed (probably a Weaver) stance.
If I run up to a cop car with a plastic pistol, holding it in two hands like its real, do you think they will just laugh?

But the fact remains that there was never a gun pointed at them, dumbfuck

Don't besmirch pot smokers with the word libertarian!Yeah, cops sit around in the lockerroom and say things like, "Hey, you know what guys, it's been kind of slow lately. Whattya all say we go out today and light up some asshole for absolutely no reason whatsoever! Think of the fun. Getting fired, maybe go to jail. Whoopee! On top of everything else, we'll give those dumbass pot-smoking libertarian retards something to lock hands with their liberal brothers over!"
Yeah, happens every day.
Why was this thread resurrected?
And the cops were wrong, from what I read.
No matter if you are a cop or a regular citizen, you ALWAYS identify the threat before shooting.
They couldnt see the hose? THey were focused on what 'was reported' and the guy's hand. They couldnt objectively assess the situation...and that IS part of their training.
I wasn't aware that they had received x-ray vision optical implants, that can automatically detect what is hidden.
What was hidden?
Evidently the fact that it was just a water nozzle.
what I WOULD do in this situation is irrelevant. If I had done what these cops did, i'd be facing murder charges. THAT is the issue, statist.Because everyone knows that this is exactly what you would do, in exactly the same circumstance.
because I supplied UPDATED information as to the lawsuit. it's kind of what you should do instead of starting a new thread.Why was this thread resurrected?
unless you're USF1, then it doesn't matter.No matter if you are a cop or a regular citizen, you ALWAYS identify the threat before shooting.
but by all means, lets condemn all gun owners to death for not wanting universal background checks and assault weapons bans because a few idiots committed crimes.condeming all cops to death for this bad reaction is stupid as shooting a man with a hose nossle
And the entire hose it was attached to?
LMAO, that is quite the justification....how far is that stretch, Mars?
Again, giant fail in identifying the threat.
