rough ridin' ridiculous

Looks like a suicide by cop.

It was murder by cop

[stunted]

Agreed, absolutely disgusting

I simply don't understand why police officers aren't trained too utilize non lethal shots in certain situations. In this case and the dude in Baton Rouge the victims clearly weren't cooperating but they also posed no immediate threat to the safety of the murderous officers.

To watch them keep pumping lead into the body of a dying man because he can't put his hands out is gross.

Breathing people are witnesses and victims. Dead people are perps.

Wtf

[Tobias]

i pictured them going up to him afterwards and using the gun barrel to manipulate his hands away from clutching the gunshot wounds and high fiving each other

They'll write that into the docudrama, for sure.

What is a cop supposed to do in that situation? 

[john "teach me how to" dougie]

I think they could have cuffed him after the first shot.

This is what happens when you take away the choke hold /mark fuhrman

[Emo EMAW]

I guess I should first ask, what are they trained to do in that situation?

Keep shooting until rigor sets in to be completely sure he won't get the imaginary gun they were afraid of.

They are probably trained to do exactly what they did, and that's a big rough ridin' problem.

My IRL question is, did she come up with that herself?  If she did, she needs and public office of some sort.

Your posts makes some fundamental mistakes about where firearms are on the use of force continuum and how firearms and ballistics actually work.  It's nice to think of nonlethal shots, but they are nearly impossible to deploy effectively. 

These videos though don't show the cops grasping that use of force continuum either.  Continuing to shoot after a threat is ended shows terrible restraint and a cowardice not compatible with a job we allow to legitimately use violence on the state's behalf.

Killed for screeching his tires.   Dang.

First two shots I can understand after watching the video. Second two I cannot.

It was murder.

Only because the cops forgot to kill this one can you almost laugh at the absurdity of it all.

Kinsey’s wife Joyce told WSVN she’s just glad he is alive and able to tell the story of what happened to him. Kinsey said he was suffering flashbacks to the shooting “every time I close my eyes” and had only wanted to help his patient.

“I was really more worried about him than myself, because as long as I’ve got my hands up, they’re not going to shoot me,” Kinsey said. “This is what I’m thinking, ‘They’re not going to shoot me.’ Wow, was I wrong.”
