Family says son killed by police in ‘swatting’ was unarmed, didn’t play video games

Repeating this doesn’t make you less wrong.

He’s shot an unarmed man, without justification. If you did that, you would be in jail for a minimum of 25 years.

Calling for your arrest, wouldn’t be attacking you.

Do you see how stupid it is to claim this cop is being attacked?

 

You keep say without justification

But he was a police officer carrying out an assignment in a difficult situation

You should be on his side as well as the victim

 

Yes.

And shot a man without justification.

I am never on the side of a murderer. If it was a self defensive shooting, absolutely. This instance however, is an unjustifiable homocide.

 

A smack with a stick is not the same as getting one's head blown off so badly one's own mother wouldn't recognize you or being imprisoned for "reeducation" as happens in police states.

 

The man was not murdered

 

So what was the risk this cop was facing... An unarmed man with his back to him? I agree cops have a dangerous job... but that does not mean they can murder people without just cause. So please explain how a man raising his hands as he was being ordered to justifies his own murder.

 

Of course he was. He was shot and killed, without any justification. That’s called murder.

 

Yes he was...are you saying it was an accident that a cop shot him? He was murdered. Now there is justifiable murder, but this isn't one of those cases.

 

Please show me the law that says police officer in a difficult situation is allowed to shoot anyone he feels like. Your argument is that police officers can kill anyone they want whenever they want and get a paid vacation for it, because well, because they have a difficult job.

 

Yes

And accident of circumstances started by a dirtbag gamer in california

 

Disagreed because murder is an unlawful killing:

mur·der ˈmərdər/ noun

1. the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.

This would be either a justified or unjustified killing of a human being.

The Badge Bunnies think it's okay to occasionally shoot an innocent American in order to maintain Law & Order. I disagree with them. Better to let everyone defend themselves than to have authoritarian rule the US with a Police State.

 

No thst is not my argument

If the cop knew he was not armed and not a danger you would have a case against him

But as far as we know that is not the case here

 

Why do I think you would not desperately justify a cop murdering someone you love, who was innocent, unarmed, and following police orders to raise his hands. Circumstances that do not involve a threat to anyone's life do not justify deadly force. Phone call is absolutely irrelevant. All that matters in a police shooting is if there was a reasonable belief that there was a threat to anyone's life. In this case the answer is an absolute no.

So tell me the law that says a cop can shoot to death anyone they want if they are in a stressful situation, because that is your argument.

 

Show me that law that says a cop can kill anyone they don't know as a fact is unarmed and not dangerous... According to your definition a cop could sit on the side of the road and murder every person that passes, because he doesn't know for a fact they are unarmed and not a threat.... No, the law is that a cop has to know there is a threat, and this cop did not have any reasonable belief that this man was a threat to anyone.

Don't replace the law, with your blind support for police.

 

I see you are going to join Max in dragging my family into this story

Yes I would be devastated if a family member were killed by a cop

But no worse than if they were killed in an auto accident

 

Short answer, there isn't one no matter how many people say it's okay for police officers to shoot innocent unarmed Americans every once in awhile.

 

Not even a GOOD deflection.

 

Its a fact

 

Spot on. If a shooting would not be justified for me, it should not be justified for a police officer under the same circumstances. Period, full stop.

 

No, it is a deflection, or a delusion.

 

How many innocent people are you willing to execute to satisfy your blood lust?

 

Is this even ENGLISH?

 

And made much worse by a sadistic cop who shot a man just to watch him die...and will get away with it.

 

Honestly, at this point...I truly believe he WOULD defend it. He is THAT far in the satchel in his worship of police.

 

A sadistic cop?

Yiu have nothing to support that
