TX DPS Helicopter Shooting

[BradM]

Cops don't get to shoot people suspected of committing crimes.

I'm pretty sure that's the main reason cops are allowed to shoot people.

They should have used a nuke, could have taken out all of the other illegal trash in the area too!

Nuke 'em from orbit. It's the only way to be sure

Q: How can you kill someone in a truck full of people?

A: Don't lead them as far as a truck with only a couple people in it.

My only problem is that an rpg wasn't used to stop the vehicle.

I'm sure there are a few things one can assume to be 99% accurate. A truck near the border, evading ground patrol, then evading air patrol..yeah, it's safe to say they're up to no good...commence firing.

what if the no good messikans kidnapped some legal white kiddos or women, unload on that sucker!

I don't see an issue either. Don't run from the cops. Seems simple. How many people have gotten killed by drivers running from the cops and hitting other folks?

I was down in Liberty Hill last year for the Laure Range day and the DPS chopper came out and did a few "gun runs". Basically it's two guys with AR15s riding in the side door shooting down. Looks like a fun job.

That's not the way it works. Fewer people get killed by fleeing suspects than by people changing their radio station and crashing. Cops don't get to shoot people suspected of committing crimes.

DPS can do whatever they want. They cant be sued. Thats what separates them from other police departments in the state.

I never said that they couldnt be sued...i said they cant be sued without permission.

Short term memory?

My only issue here is how would they know the truck was full of "illegal NONCITIZEN's". I didn't think you could just open fire on a car full of "people" because the driver decides to run, sounds pretty fucked to me.

I fail to see the problem with using what means are necessary to stop an illegal NONCITIZEN from possiby endangering many other LEGAL residents.

Welcome to America. We need to get this trooper to the range for some practice

[GeorgeG.]

I bet the illegals are wishing they went through the proper channels to get into the US right about now... pendejos

[Baron Von Crowder]

I bet the threat of getting shot from a chopper would make some less likely to come across illegally.

Sorry folks, but tear your ass across any border crossing in the world and you will get shot at. It is what it is.
