OK, the morgue it is.



One round went through the roof of the car before smacking this rocket surgeon. Looks like he was trying to ditch the phone he stole, but upon first viewing of this, it damn sure looked to me like he was trying to draw a weapon. Stupid bastard. Obey police commands, especially when they have their pistols pointed at you.

That's a good shoot.

The police had a TQ on them so they could try to save the mutt's life.

Reminds me of a video I saw of one of our soldiers in Iraq taking fire, returning fire and getting hits, then running over to try to save the life of the guy who tried to kill him.

Fracking idiot.

How utterly, mind-numbingly stupid do you have to be such that when somebody's pointing a weapon at you and telling you to "PUT YOUR HANDS UP!" you reach for something other than air?

Either that kid was mentally slow as fuck, or that was a suicide by cop.

That's gotta be a thing by now. Get into a confrontation with the police, ignore commands until you get a bunch of guys pointing guns at you, then make a sudden movement and hope you get shot. Then you or your estate files a lawsuit against the department, probably getting a quick settlement out of it. Roll the dice on actually surviving the shoot. Ghetto lottery.

That killer Chihuahua almost bought a round for the home team too. Big Grin

I like how the car wasn't hit, the officers were upset they had to shoot (showed their humanity or...), and the first thing was to treat the wounds.

He was clearly fishing in his nasty little pocketses for something. The police are not required to wait to see if it is a ring of power, a pistol, or a Snicker bar.

The dog even knew enough to get out of there and shut up.
The car looks like it took one on the roof on the right side at the front.

In this article, his Mom says the police commands were confusing.

"Roshawna Carter says her son, Elijah Smith, 20, was a good kid caught up in a tense and confusing situation. ...

On the video police are seen entering a garage from inside the home. They repeatedly announce they are police and demand that Smith put up his hands.

The video shows Smith come out from hiding, quickly tuck his right hand into his pocket, then raise his left hand, while leaving his right close to his waist. After repeatedly ordering Smith to raise both hands, it appears Smith’s right hand abruptly reaches towards his pocket or belt, he is then shot by one officer with his firearm, and second officers tries to deploy a tazer.

...

“I think he was scared, he didn't know what to do, when you got three people yelling and saying ‘put your hands up,’ you can get confused,” Carter said.


So, three police officers all repeatedly telling you to get your hands up is too confusing to understand?

What is confusing is the stress of knowing you were caught breaking and entering and, at the least, are about to get hauled off to jail. Lots of people aren't good under that kind of pressure.

OK, are you saying that this 20 year old could not comprehend "put up your hands" because more than one person was saying it?

What are you saying, jhe? Because it looks like the usual from you- to be apart from the crowd.

It was VERY clear what the police wanted this guy to do. There is no doubt as to what they were asking him to do.

And yes, even someone who is caught and knows they will go to jail could understand the CLEAR commands of the police in that video.

I think, as a lawyer, he was being rather sadistic about dead man's thoughts.

Oops, sarcastic. Big Grin
