Don't call the cops

[Forever_frost]

EVERY officer involved death is turned over to the Grand Jury.

They will be the ones to decide if it gets prosecuted, not the department (Chief).

Cops gun down citizen, paid vacation and delay until the story blows over.

Citizen shoots cop? Guy is killed, his name is drug through the mud and if he does fight them to a standstill, they keep calling in more reinforcements or pull a Ruby Ridge and just kill him and his family with snipers

Where some dude that works for the city will roll out the case as to why the whole thing was the old man's fault. I'm sure it will be completely unbiased with the millions of dollars in liability the city faces.

At least the civil courts exist so his family might have some recourse.

And fwiw, my cousin is a sergeant on the local force, and his glock has a light on it. So does every other cop gun I've seen in recent history.

Wanna see my issue Sig P220?

No light.

Wanna know something even funnier?

I was never issued a flashlight.

I hear ya man, but seriously, if you're answering a burglary call, would you think the 72 year old guy clad only in pants looking in the bushes is the bad guy?

Personally, I would be looking for Trayvon, not the WWII white guy...

He wasn't even old enough to have served during Korea.

[03trubluGT]

Oh don't worry, they would never get proper justice. Just a bunch of finger pointing and a half assed investigation. Then some paid time off. I'm sure it was all the old man's fault, it always is.

Hoodlums with a gun murder a man on his own property making sure his possessions were secure. Fuck 'em. Send them to jail for murder

[LANTIRN]

sounds to me he made the decision to arm himself on his own property and got killed for it.

This.

Your dumb ass is showing. Man with gun, cops say drop the gun, don't point it at cops. It was dark, how do they know how old he is. I'm sure the cops feel terrible.

How did he know it was the cops? Anyone can say "police, drop the gun".


Dumb asses go both ways, ex cop. Nice to see you blindly backing the badge though.

[Broncojohnny]

It doesn't bring this man back , but hopefully there is video to either show they acted with the training they received or get the proper justice for murdering a man.

I imagine he made a bad decision by either making a quick movement or raised his gun hand. Witnesses say they heard 5 gunshots one right after the other

The cops pulled up to the wrong house and the victim was in his rear entry garage that couldn't be seen from the street. They never went to the house that had the false alarm

Jimmy hasn't responded...


It's dark, in the middle of the night. It says he was in his garage, but the lights may have been off. Need more evidence before I say FTP on this one. If he really did refuse to drop the gun, then I obviously see no problem.

Not making excuses. Before you go through the hiring process, they make it known you will have to one day make a split second decision that could change everything. Unfortunately it sounds like that decision turned horrible.
