Why do they keep missing Sharpton?
Oh wait. You said crackHEAD , not crackPOT.

Crackhead would mean they killed Marion Berry.

99.999% of the time, if the cops are shooting at you, you have done something very wrong.

I remember about 10 years or so ago they used to have live news feeds on satellites and one I watched was when a guy was fleeing the police and he eventually stole a truck with a girl in it and ran over an officer.

The news helicopter followed the whole thing and when the police lost the guy the news copter tried to raise the police on the radio but couldn't so the pilot decided to get in front of the truck so he couldn't get away.

When the police caught up they shot the sh|t out of the guy and after they pulled the girl out of the truck one deputy stuck a shotgun in the door and fired point blank.

The guy was probably already dead but they weren't taking any chances.

Was this the Denver, Colorado chase?

If this IS the Denver chase, the Officer that was run over at 55 mph, was indentified by the foot still in his boot. He robbed a bank, stole two cars, and resorted to kidnapping.

Why didn't the POS criminal go too far?

Masherbrum,

Well.. an easy trigger finger isn't a good thing for a cop.
Might get innocents injured or killed, or even fellow cops.
Guns should be only used as a last resort, regardless what the criminal had done.
Shooting at an incapacitated criminal with a shotgun is a little hard to explain with anything but to make sure the guy gets what he deserves.
The cops do not exist to be the judge and jury, they exist to maintain the law.
I don't think the law gave them the right to make sure the criminal is dead.
Otherwise they could just as well use a rocket to stop the fleeing criminals, would make it easier.
Or shoot the criminals on the spot, without questions asked.

IF this is the Denver chase we're talking about, he was still holding a loaded gun. Sorry, it was justifiable. Again, the Denver one, if you all are talking about something else, please disregard.

Again, he attempted to rob a bank (Federal offense), stole two cars (Felony), and Kidnapped (Felony). He was f**ked anyways.

It was pretty much talking in general, a reply to the opinions like "he (a criminal) did it, he deserved to be shot".

We trust our police officers (and normal citizens) to administer the death penalty in certain situations. Trust-based society vs. obedience-based society. If you don't like it, don't move here.

How much life does one have to endanger to be shot?

This guy deserved every bullet.

It's within a single tank of gas (on some cars) which puts it in the centre of culture within the universe. There's probably a WalMart there, which makes it doubly special.

In the case of scumbags like this i totally disagree. Same thing for that case in Fallujah..."I saw him twitch and feared for my life sir".

~~to whichever officer acted with his Mossberg!~~

It's been so long ago I don't remember where it was.

BUT there was no way it was anything but an execution. The news only played a small part of it so if you didn't see the live feed you missed a lot.

Not that I blame them after what he did.
