This is whats comming to the neighbourhoods near you.....wherever you live in the "Free world"
Canada, The US its all the same.....
Police take more and more liberty with the laws and their supposed authority.
The time will come when they will be the recievers of some of their own "justice"and i sense the public is about to explode with this crap....it will only take a single incident like this to start the revolution that is building against the goverments totalitarian methods.
Lets bring the Marines home and ask them what to do about this.......

I'm not defending a murderer. I am defending a person who has yet to face trial. Innocent until proven guilty is sort of a thing here.

Since when did it become a Capital Crime to disobey a police order when a) a known felony had not been committed and b) the life of the officer was not threatened?? This is happening almost on a weekly basis.
Originally posted by Vitchilo This whole business needs to be investigated and the cop at least fired for this.

And hopefully the dash cam video captured the audio for the entire incident. Otherwise we only have the officers account of what was said.

Innocent until proven guilty huh? Was that how the marine was treated as he was pumped full of bullets?
I think not.
Practice what you preach or shut the hell up.

He could have shot him in the leg mate, instead of 2 in the back in front of the guys kids.

You are leaving out the statement he made to the officer. We still dont know what was said, and it could explain the use of force. Secondly it was a combination of actions that resulted in the shooting, not just the refusal to comply.

It is you leaving out the Meat of the story, I'll remind you.
Two Shots In The BACK
Unarmed
Im not sure what your hangup is on shooting in the back. Tennesse Vs. Garner established police cannot shoot a fleeing felon unless that person presents a threat to the community as a whole / people at large.
I dont mind your comments but at the very least could you acknowledge the laws?
