Ft Worth Police shooting

[kingjason]

I would be willing to bet the kids already hated the police. One of my friends was on a traffic stop one time and the same thing happened to him except the driving off part. He told the guy he had warrants and the guy said I am not going to jail and started rolling up the window. It actually pinned his arm really good and he had to knock out the glass to get his arm loose and then remove the guy from the car. He had a nice deep bruise in his arm. What is sad is that all my assistant chief at the time was concerned with was my friend calling the guy a MF as they got him out.

I didn't see the news but it sounds like he did his job well and kept his head . Hats off to him and I hope they keep him safe .

you his cousin or something?


Seriously though, i agree 100%. The only thing that really sucks in this whole deal is kids lost a father and those children will be police haters, judging by the families response.

wtf?! I don't know if I was just typing faster than my brain was working or if a mod is trying to be funny. Either way, I editted my post as I am not involved in this whatsoever.

Reportedly, the officer's name is not being released due to death threats being made my friends and family of the victim while they were at the hospital the night of the shooting.

That's what I suspect happened too. The cop probably wasn't trapped. He was trying to be Superman and hold the wheel as the car pulled away and then was scared to let go after the car was moving. Kinda like when the cops ram you with their car and when you swerve to miss them, they calim you were trying to run over them. But, then again....

Not that I would think less of him if he was trying to grab the steering wheel or the keys, but why would he lie and say his arm was trapped if it in fact wasn't? In your opinion what does he really have to gain by lying about that?

Having a car window rolled up on your arm when you're trying to arrest a criminal that has warrants after he says he's not going to jail for said warrants and then trying to drive away with officer attached to the vehicle seems pretty clear cut to me. Sure, the kids being in the back is not cool, and I feel bad that they had to live that experience, but their father put them in that position when he loaded them up in the car and was driving around. The guy is a known drug dealer and seemed to already know that he had warrants and knew if he was pulled over they would try to arrest him. According to the early reports the officer knew there were kids in the back seat and did not fire in the direction of the backseat, but fired across the vehicle and slightly back to front while standing on the running board of the SUV with his arm squeezed tightly between the glass and window opening.

Did anyone watch the story last night on channel 8? If the police officer really did get dragged. That is the guys fault for putting his kids in that situation.

I hope the arm in the window is what went down because as much as I love seeing scum bite the dust I'm not real cool with fireing into a car full of kids . I hope the warents are not just traffic crap and the leo was justified . I never side with a criminal but sometimes when children are at risk there is a big ? as to whats called for . On the other hand thanks for taking out another worthless dem , o , I mean scum bag .

Every time I go to Winchester Gallery (820 & E. Lancaster), I can't help but think that the locals laugh about that place, "Silly-ass crackas, payin money to bust a cap. Sheeeet, I busted off a whole bunch just last night...for free!"

No doubt! Its funny too, I have also never been harassed or asked for any money I could spare when I have gone to shoot there...

...

So was the police officer unable to detach from the car as it was speeding away or did he grab onto it when the guy tried to drive off?

Of course there is information that at times I cannot divulge for obvious reasons.
