Reply #75: There was no firefight. The victim was unarmed. [View All]

So right there you are wrong. It was just a 'feeling' that motivated this killing. A feeling of anger, of 'how dare a citizen of the U.S. disobey ME, regardless of the fact that he is drunk and probably unable to understand what I am asking him to do'. It looks like I am not the one who is uninformed.

I am hardly 'pre-judging'. I know how drunk people behave. I know that the last thing any sentient being expects of a drunk person is that they will react in the same way as a sober individual. And anyone who thinks that they can talk to a person who is drunk and expect the same reaction they would get from a person who is sober, does not belong in the job of a police officer. They are, to put as kindly as I can, stupid if they expect a drunk to even understand directions that a sober person would.

I am, as I have repeated numerous times, judging this situation based on the testimony of the obviously rational police officer who was present at the scene and on my own experience of dealing with individuals who are drunk. This was one of the worst displays of ignorance on how to handle such a person I have ever heard of. And that is being kind.

I will not be surprised to hear in the future, that this cop is involved in some other fatal incident if he is allowed to go back on the street carrying a weapon. He is drunk on power, and that is a danger to the people he is sworn to protect, as the family of his victim know well.
