Execution

But it allows you to suck ass to LJ Joe Guy and Old n Wiser so there's that going for it.
Moral dwarfs.

Yep, that was the goal all right

[rubato]

Dwarves, sorry.

But I will happily wait to hear from a range of law-enforcement professionals about this case. Having worked with them I expect they will be even more harshly critical than I was.

What's doubly hilarious, is that you had to have that joke explained to you before it sunk in to your wee small brain...

Perhaps. Keep us informed - we're unable to reach high enough to pull a newspaper out of the machine

And you'd have to sober up to read it. Or, well if it dementia then there's nothing for it.

You're so funny! A dog smells its own arse first

[rubato]

I am mystified by the vitriol and nastiness. I cannot see that this thread deserves it.


But you are pursuing a failed and rather stupid argument, so perhaps you are ashamed of your mental flabbiness.


Three armed officers who have already taken two knives from him cannot control a paraplegic in a wheelchair without killing him? Because he was going to run away?


Weak. Naturally, you are ashamed of yourselves.

Cops shoot people at the first plausible excuse because that's what they want to do.

That's not vitriol and nastiness then? Sorry. Thought it was

[Joe Guy]

If any mistake was made by the officers it was not restraining him enough after taking his knives. He was still able to reach for his gun. Once he did that they didn't have a lot of options.

[MajGenl.Meade]

But probably wrong, Joe. rubato, after all, was there in spirit and knows for a fact that one of the policemen could easily have pinioned the poor criminal's arms.



(He could be correct, of course)

Santa Cruz's finest!

[RayThom]

... suicide by cop? Regardless, it appears to me that the tragic outcome could have been avoided if calmer heads had prevailed. I can't help but feel it's termination with extreme prejudice. Once again, the police protecting and serving... themselves.
