Unbelievable flat out murder by COP caught on body camera and the COP

[doc03]

gets off free. It even appears the victim is white this time.

1. The policeman should be fired, but the victim did reach like he was going for something.

I’m sure the policeman was trained to look down the rifle sights like that, but that also obscured his vision. A sad outcome all around, and some damn poor police work and training, even if by the book.

5. He was reaching to pull up his pants.

I'm guessing that this guy did nothing wrong.

He was on the job for an exterminating company and carried a pellet rifle with him from his vehicle into his room.

Someone probably called the cops and falsely reported that he was aiming a gun out his window.

Cops, thinking of Las Vegas, show up all rambo'd up to take out a terrorist and this poor slub was ordered to the ground and to crawl to the policeman. While doing what the cop ordered (and probably wondering WTF was going on) he reached down to pull up his pants. The cop shot him multiple times.

12. He was yelling several different commands while pointing an AR 15 rifle at the guy's head,

Please don't make excuses for this shit. It's inexcusable and obviously murder. If these cops are so fucking afraid, they should find a new profession. Why do citizens have to take on the risk that cops voluntarily signed up for?!? They've transferred ALL their risk onto (mostly unarmed) citizens. Not fair, not just.

13. Why do you think I said fire him. He'd never be convicted with that video,

not a chance. Just a fact. Police need to stop hiring Rambos, gun-nuts, X-military, etc. But the victim made a move that many on a jury would view as reasonable doubt.

14. Let's say he really feared for his life... 5 close range shots with a rifle? Really? nt

[Hoyt]

15. Don't disagree, but he'd never be convicted. Heck, they can't even

convict a policeman shooting a unarmed fleeing man in the back. And the man didn't even do anything.

16. article says he was fired

he really handled that badly.

2. Why were the police there in the first place??

[doc03]

3. Someone reported the guy had a rifle, turned out to be a pellet gun.

It is obvious on the video the guy certainly didn't have a rifle on him. I thought we had the right to carry a gun without being murdered anyway. This is why even though I have a CCW permit I don't carry I fear a crazy COP more than a civilian with a gun.

4. like that 12 year-old killed in Ohio when Ohio has open carry

Trevan Martin??

[doc03]

6. Trevon Martin I am not so sure but the boy with

toy gun in Cleveland I call that flat out murder too. Same goes for the man in the Cincinnati Walmart gunned down while talking on the phone with a toy gun in his hand.

7. Trayvon Martin was the 17 year old that George Zimmerman murdered in Florida.

Tamir Rice is the 12 year old in Ohio executed for having a toy gun.

9. my mistake and thanks for the information

[Thor_MN]

10. No problem, I just think it's only proper to get their names right.

We failed them as a society, the least we can do is try to remember them correctly.

[Angry Dragon]

11. I agree............so many killings, hard to keep the names straight

[msongs]

8. gee on tv n movies the cops shoot bad guys in the shoulder/arm/leg nt

[Kirk Lover]

17. I just don't understand how there is no other way to resolve this situation besides

shooting 5 TIMES at the guy?
