If the policeman in Wisconsin could grab the victims shirt, he could have used non-lethal action

instead of firing seven bullets in his back

1. A chokehold, maybe?

[still_one]

2. Stun gun is what I was thinking at the maximum use of force

[WhiskeyGrinder]

3. So a different lethal weapon?

[Thomas Hurt]

4. less than lethal...sometimes.

They had time to restrain him before he even got to the car. They were too busy holding their guns on him to do it.

[still_one]

5. I also wasn't saying they should use it, but if they were trying to subdue him, the maximum

use of force should be no more than a stun gun

No justification for firing seven bullets in Jacob Blake's back

[Thomas Hurt]

6. I agree with you there. Risk is much less with the taser/stun gun.

[still_one]

7. It isn't zero as you said, but it is not like firing seven bullets into someone's back

[WhiskeyGrinder]

8. How about not subduing him at all.

[still_one]

9. Why were the police called in the first place? For all I know he was an innocent bystander

[BSdetect]

10. How about just shooting his tires? If they had to shoot at all.

[still_one]

13. I don't think the use of a gun was needed at all. They have his license plate so there is no

running away from how to locate him, and add to that he had three kids in the backseat

This was a definite misuse of deadly force

last fucking thing the simple minded jackass should have been doing was jacking bullets into the car.

I don't know WFT was being said as this man started to work his way around that car, but you are going to be damn sure they are going to say they were scared he was going for a gun.

This is flat unacceptable.

Basic situational awareness should have led the two cops who chased him around the car to not allow him to get to that door if that was the case, to prevent popping shots off with children at risk.

12. Absolutely. NO JUSTIFICATION FOR WHAT THEY DID. I hope he recovers fully, and the

police involved are fired and put in jail

[tblue37]

14. I hope he recovers fully and that his three kids end up with a nice college fund. nt

[still_one]

15. yes.
