Maybe the guy wanted to die suicide by cop? Either way, it was beyond overkill IMO.......

I think it's time to invent a gadget that will incapacitate a suspect w/o killing them, & the way cops are shooting their guns, I'm thinking taser guns don't work?

Taser gun to a gun fight??

Dallas has had a lot of reform under Brown. More de-escalation in training, stricter on use of force, easing on petty crimes. Firing bad officers, which can be hard to do when you are dealing with a public sector union.


There is a lot you can do on the margins that improve quality drastically and still get the bad guys.


always improving...never quitting.....good wins...

Why does everyone assume every driver is packingbgeat? This isn't the wild west, & this kid didn't have a gun.....assumptions don't make it right to shooting someone twice in the chest, & while laying on the ground still not seeing a gun, they shot him 2 more times......cops were way out of hand in this situation.

So... we should go with the "Dont fire unless someone shoots first" type of policing? What do you do in the situation the cops were in, and you dont know if someone has a gun or not? They keep coming towards you, reaching behind their back like they have some sort of object, and not complying...?

Hindsight is 20/20.. so what if cops didnt have their weapons drawn and guy whipped out a pistol and shot them... what then?

Watch this video..... see how you would do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZj2vRojmTM

IMO, cops should always use taser guns in a situation like this kid where they don't see a gun.......hindsight is 20/20, & I could play Monday morning qb all day, doesn't mean.I'm right.

But what I saw from the video, it was overkill......these cops probably wouldn't get in trouble over the first two shots to the chest, but I can definitely see them getting in trouble after blasting him twice more while laying on his back.

Every cop has problems in their lives like everyone of us, add the stress before entering the field, & you gave an explosive situation waiting to happen. Like I stated before, we need RoboCops......we need to take emotion out of the equation, but I know that's not reality yet.

You know a taser is only good for about 25 feet or so..... Thats really close... so what do they do if the guy is 30 feet away?? Rush him while he pulls a gun and hope you hit both prongs while not having real good aim with a taser?

Guy was shot 3 times & they kept yelling for him to put his hands up??? WTF do they think he is, superman? And then shoot him a 4th time & still keep telling at him to get his hands up.....I'm starting to think some cops have mental problems.

The first two shots can easily be defended by a good lawyer, & nothing will happen to the cops, but the 3rd & 4th shot are overkill & can get the cops jail time.....but knowing most cops behind the badge are untouchable in these kind of shootings, cops don't care about consequences because they're none.

If a citizen shot someone 4 times because he was supposedly threatened by a gun that a perp didn't have on him, he would be looking at serious jail time.

I have no problem at all with him getting shot initially.......Once he was on the ground.....I can`t see him doing damage from the ground on his back no less.

The ground shots weren't necessary IMO.

Sorry, I don't side with fucking idiots. How many times do you have to disobey orders with guns drawn on you... and then to walk towards a drawing cop and you put your hand behind your back as though it's digging into your waistband? Please. Fucking joke.

This whole stupid American culture of not taking responsibility is ridiculous.


If you walk down a dark alley in a city at 3am in the morning, what the fuck do you think will happen? Don't blame it on the thugs who robbed you. You put yourself in that position. Like these tourists going camping by Isis and then get kidnapped by Isis....

But this is the new retard generation of America.


Yes, extra shots on the ground, I don't like that. But blood pumping, emotions charged... a cop's life is always on the line whether you cop haters want to admit it or not. They've got families to go home to like everybody else.

Thanks for the opinion man. Maybe if you were actually there, and your life was potentially on the line, your opinion would change

This story is the perfect example to the guy that doesn`t like me posting pictures and videos.

I read the story from the OP on page 1......I wanted to know more about it.....It says 2 cops shot some kid.....That doesn`t tell me much.

But this video tells me a whole lot.....It tells the STORY and More.

Pretty simple if the cops tell you to take a seat you do it. If you dont agree then take a seat anyway and sort it out later...pretty ez for anyone with half a brain.

A video for a story like this is perfect and I'd probably watch it even if I hadn't watched it today. Your page long diatribes of photos that don't add shit to a thread and slow the shit down are annoying and that's just not me saying it either.

Guys no matter how many times you explain it, some just won't get it.

Some of us would spare the guys life, and others are trigger happy.

People argue that we might act differently in that situation.

You're right, we would act differently...

We would see a guy who's already shot up, lying on the ground helpless, no threat to anyone, and not keep pumping bullets into him.

Some of us would spare his life instead of INTENTIONALLY ending it.

Its common sense.

And again, if you are that scared, then you have no business being a police officer to begin with because someone who scares easily & panics easily has no business carrying a gun with a license to shoot & kill someone at will.

Its these kind of cops that have the nation in an uproar & the kind you just want to beat the fuck out of.

You have good guys, like texasfan, but then you have bad & senseless cops who you want to spit in the face of & bitch slap...
