these are very
dynamic situations--
..this Black Friday shooting is perfect example
reminds me of the Tacoma Mall shooting:
.....the guy HOLSTERED his weapon and tried to ORDER the shooter to put down the weapon.......???!!!!
Tacoma Mall shooting - Wikipedia
Most shootings have a Dynamic element to them. My problem is with the response by Gov., and the departments when something like this happens. Cops almost always get a pass on killing the wrong man. If it were Mike the CCW’r, or Joe homeowner... He be going to jail at the very least. He’ll be paying for his own lawyer, probably lose his job while awaiting trial... And there will be a trial. Not for the cop. He gets an extended period of paid time off to cry it out, while countless tens of thousands of dollars are spent on his behalf, in order to protect him and his department from the consequences of his actions. It’s pretty disgusting really. Especially in light of the fact that police are supposed to be trained to react in “dynamic” situations that involve guns. The regular guy, often isn’t.
depends on the situation, yes?
....don't the cops usually call for the person to drop the weapon and/or ID themselves as cops? where as a CCW does not have the same authority?
...I read ''a lot'' of stories where I think the CCW person is guilty, but they get off
Zimmerman for one
..I read one time, some jerk stole a car radio..the owner chased after him, shot him- not guilty..also Florida I think
...Florida loud music shooting, the guy did not report shooting his weapon and that he thought his life was in danger = this is wrong...he was found guilty
...the Walmart [ so many !! ] shooting --found not guilty ..I thought the CCW guy was wrong and should've be found guilty
How was Zimmerman guilty?
very long story here--so much I've forgotten a lot of key points:
...TM was doing NOTHING wrong..not a threat/etc like the rest of these jackass thugs I read about
Z is carrying = he
INITIATES a problem--when there is no problem
Z keeps following TM, and keeps following him
when you have a weapon and your thought process is wrong, someone gets killed because of it- that's manslaughter
one key aspect out of many:
...a---Z says TM must be crazy because TM is staring at Z = DUMB
Z's mind is warped to the point his decision process is wrong/dumb-- and this idiot is carrying???!!!!!!!
-----b. TM is staring at Z because Z is following TM!!!!!!! and Z can't figure this out = DUMBASS
Z starts to follow TM for NO reason--NO reason....and keeps following
then gets out of the vehicle to follow
...I'd confront this jackass also if he followed me, and kept following me, and got out of his car and came after me
TM was standing his ground
...out of ALL the blackmen that have been shot, THIS is the one they should've protested a lot for
...most of the others were justified
