That is way more backpedalling by the cop than I would ever have been willing to bet on. You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

If it came to a grand jury I doubt that throwing rocks would be considered sufficient reason to shoot the prick. Unless they were a lot bigger rocks than he was throwing. But when the knife came out that changed the rules. Knife-wielding prick got what he deserved IMO. Apparently ISIS recruiters don't tell their | |||

Should he have been backing up? I'm not an expert, just curious, seems like if he tripped or anything it could have gone bad. | |||

I'm not going to claim to know how to do the job, because I've never been a cop, much less in a situation like that, but, yeah: I don't think I'd have been comfortable backing around like that. Tremendous restraint on the cop's part. "America is at that awkward stage.

I put it poorly, but that's really what I meant. I'd have expected to be shot long before he gave "two hots" to that fellow. You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

The cop knew he was doing a lot of backpedaling and that it is not tactically "optimum." I'm sure it was a small calculated risk to try and save this mentally ill wacko's life (and him from having to live with shooting someone). He does scan to make sure he is just dealing with this single clown. I think this was more on the mentally illness/suicide by cop end of the spectrum than committed terrorist. He really took a long time to work himself up to even throw the rocks and then never charged with the knife. Committed terrorist would have lunged with the knife from the start when the officer's gun was still holstered yelling about the snack bar. No sympathy from me though, insh-Allah. “People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.” –Chuck Palahnuik Be harder to kill: https://preparefit.ck.page | |||

This officer seems highly aware of the current political climate concerning firing a weapon, hence the backpedaling, I suspect. | |||

Thank you. I was trying to figure out the correct way to express my opinion on that and you said it perfectly. As for the suicide by cop, I have a different take. Suicide takes a certain level of commitment. What I saw in this guy was a coward with no commitment. A wannabe jihadist that punked out at the last minute after being confronted by a real soldier with commitment and only acted because he backed himself into a corner. And even then that action was half assed. He would have been better off staying in his bed in moms basement dreaming of being a soldier of islam and his rewards in the afterlife. Instead he temporarily fucked up a good mans life trying to prove how committed he was........but wasn't. Fucking selfish prick. ___________________________________Sigforum - port in the fake news storm.____________Be kind to the Homeless. A lot of us are one bad decision away from there. | |||
