I mean...you simply cannot justify shooting a handcuffed person in the back like that. If nothing happens, if nothing gets done to punish the cops involved then I do hope the shit does hit the fan, people cannot stand for that.

I didn't say that guns should be passed out to a mob of angry teenagers.

What I did mean is that police aren't the holy jedi that anti-gun people make them out to be.

Er, who makes them out to be that? :S Only idiots.

I don't see how anyone having a gun would've benefited this situation. Alright, it shows that some cops are either morons or evil bastards, but that really does nothing for the gun debate.

Which is an idiotic assessment of anti-gun positions. Both sides of the debate pro and anti-gun recognize that police are not perfect.

How this particular incident has any bearing on the gun debate is beyond me, unless you propose this situation would have been better if police are disarmed, or if the people in custody were armed.

Can I get an Ell, Oh, ell, anybody?


"Yeah, basically, we don't trust you with those pesky "unalienable rights", so we're going to try and take away these things from you, and make sure that only a select few people in funny clothes get them, because they're better than you, and for the children, etc..."


Anyway, point is, shitsux, guy got "accidentally" executed, bla bla bla.

The cop got arrested and is being charged with murder.

Damn I was just going to post that. Here is the article about it.

So from what Ive been reading, people think the cop may have thought the gun was his taser. Cause he drew, and shot 3 seconds later.

And the frame of a taser and a Glock are very similar, and with all that adrenaline pumping, it would be hard to tell teh difference that quick by touch alone. Thats why most officers keep their gun on their strong side and the tazer on the weak side and cross draw.

But he is probably going to get something like manslaughter.
