its all fun n games until somebody gets hurt

edit: also, the tasing was provoked, maybe the kid was a track star, idk. not gonna argue that, thats another thread. this was unprovoked, i saw nothing threatening in the video, hard to hear, but i didnt think i even heard "put your hands up" before he shot. his hand never moved, he turned his body slowly, stopped, and then was shot. i hope the cop goes to jail.

Not me but I still don't see the big deal with it and still don't have a problem with it. The kid acted like a dumbazz and got treated like it.

Now this cop here...put him in the slammer...I have no problem with that either but shooting this guy on the bike is flat out wrong and the officer should pay...dearly.

Just a thought.

Say if a tazer was used, the outcome could have been the same. That 600lb HD could have fallen on him wrong and paralyzed him. The odds of that happened are far less than a bullet causing it and yes I agree that a tazer would have been a better choice, but the outcome MAY have been the same.

The big deal with it is the militaristic mentality that we're referring to, not just the action itself. The taser, while it could be a valuable tool against crime, also allows officers to act pretty much however they want because they basically have a button that shuts you down. Its so effective it might as well be implanted under your skin.

BTW, this cop is only facing a max of 11 years. You can get more time than that for...well....pretty much anything else. Now, guess how much time the biker would be facing if he would've shot a cop in the back?

i was thinkin that too, but since either way the bike falls on him, (in the video it seems) the most damage from the bike i see is a broken leg
