No official word yet though. Sheyitt, now THAT would suck. Imagine going through your entire life knowing you ran over your own sister? So now one child is dead and another is going to be emotionally scarred for life, and all because the dumb Paki parents were in too big a hurry to unload their SUV. |

There was a case here where a guy was chocka with methamphetamine, and went down the main street of his town smashing car windows with a baseball bat. The police arrived and the guy rushed one of the cops with his bat raised. The cop shot the guy dead. So far so good, you might think. But all the loser's friends kicked up the biggest stink you've ever seen. "Oh he was a good guy" "It was only a baseball bat" "He was still 10 feet away" "Why did you have to shoot 3 times". They tried to get the cop charged with murder, but luckily nothing came of it. |

I'm really getting tired of hearing about one or more cops shooting somebody brandishing a knife or screwdriver or scissors at them, generally a disorganized loon of some sort rather than a practiced knife-fighter. Wouldn't it be a lot simpler to just issue nets to be thrown over the hapless lunatic? How about just backing away? I realize that goes against the Cop Code of SuperMachismo, but sometimes these people have relatives and it's OUR tax money that the judge/jury awards the relatives and their lawyers. OTOH, a few years back a "transient" set fire to the San Gabriel mountains because the fire he started in a canyon in a windstorm to keep warm escaped. HE deserves shooting, but NOOOOO... -- Cheers, Bev -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- I bought a tape called "Subliminal Advertising" The next day I bought 47 more. |

How about just backing away?

If Batman would only give away the secrets of his nets to police, we could all be safe and alive. But he won't. That makes me wonder how far should the cop have to back up if someone charges them with a shiny metal object in their hand? Should the cop apologize for bothering them and leave? Don't we give cops guns for a reason? This guy was throwing rocks at cars, then gets stopped while walking on the freeway, and within 60 seconds of when the cop first encounters him, he charges with a screwdriver and gets shot. Exactly what should happen. A screwdriver, knife, and scissors all can easily kill someone. If A. Nutjob is willing to go at a cop, who Mr. Nutjob knows has a gun, with a screwdriver what will Mr. Nutjob do to someone whom it can safely be assumed in California is unarmed? Maybe a taser would have worked, but I'll bet there's a reason it wasn't used. Or, maybe it was, and the officer involved realized the taser wouldn't stop this particular transient. Dave |

I am pretty picky about this issue. I have to say that I also would question this. However, based on only what you presented here, if nothing else was learned I would side with the cop. I do feel that they need to stop resorting to deadly force so quickly though. |
