‘Hero’ Bystander Shot Cop-Killer Dead — And Was Then Killed By Another Officer, Police Say

[Lakhota]

other cops arrive.

Why? A citizen has every bit as much of a right to posses a gun.

Rights don't matter much when you're dead.

I remember an argument I had once with my dad. I was complaining about over zealous cops, and insisting that we have various "rights" that they can't violate.

He said, "Listen, cops have guns, and they will shoot you dead if they think that's what needs to happen. The only thing you should worry about, when dealing with the police, is surviving the encounter. You can debate your rights later."

Your dad is/was a very smart man!

My father said something similar. The police are in control. Don't hassle or disobey them.
Take your problems up later with authorities, if any.

There are no restrictions in the Constitution that allow the cops to kill you for exercising your right.

That sentence means virtually nothing. What right? In what setting? Nice for an embroidered pillow, but useless in intelligent discourse.

It means exactly what I said. Can they shoot you for saying something they don't like?

What a win win for the American left!
First a cop is shot dead.
Then a bystander was shot by police, which gives them the excuse to riot!
Oh wait, the bystander was white?
Nevermind then, since it's ok to shoot a white guy.

Is it?

which is one of the reasons I don't carry a gun in public.

Carrying a gun in public isn’t the issue – the issue is the stupidity of those who use a gun to defend oneself or others.

What a surprise, lefties are upset the cop-killer was shot dead by a citizen, and they are happy an armed citizen got shot by cops.

God you people are sick.

What a surprise....trump fluffers are no longer all about "Blue Lives Matter".

Johnny Hurley was a Colorado Good Samaritan who was mistakenly shot by an Arvada police officer after heroically gunning down an active shooter who had already ambushed and murdered a police officer.

Ha, yeah, which meaning is meaningless and useless.

No, but the left won't be rioting over a white guy.

Make your points. I am not your assistant.

If they are holding a gun and say, "I am going to kill you.", suddenly that right has a bit less substance.

Carrying a gun in public isn’t the issue – the issue is the stupidity of those who use a gun to defend oneself or others.

I definitely consider carrying a gun in public to be an "issue". Especially for untrained civilians.

The only issue is trying to be a ‘hero.’

Trying?

He is a hero.

More children die in bathtubs........we need to ban bathtubs.

 

[SavannahMann]

You mean like this...you idiot...

These cops roll up on a black guy holding a white guy at gun point, and they don't shoot him........a law abiding gun owner holding a car jacker until the police arrived....the police don't shoot him, they end up shaking his hand, you idiot.

Yeah. That’s not the norm.

How do you know what the norm is? From one story?

Is this all it;s about for you? Politics?

Which isn't what happened here. Why can't you just address what happened here?

 

[Lesh]

Here is the thing.

If you are "the good guy" using a gun...when cops arrive on scene they see you with a gun and BANG

 

[Anathema]

A horrible mistake. A tragedy. I don't know what can be learned except to put the gun down when other cops arrive

Actually there’s a formula that is taught in many self-defense shooting classes on this topic…

As soon as the shooting is over and you are certain the threat from the suspect has been neutralized…

Secure your firearm.

CALL THE POLICE!!! Even if they’re already responding. Let them know who you are and that you are still on scene and not a threat.

Do not approach the suspect or touch anything that might be evidence.

But when another officer rushed in to respond ....................

Yeah, the guy likely had all day to pull out his cell phone and do all of this.
