Houston officer kills double amputee in wheelchair

[coombz]

exactly the whole reason cops have guns is so that they can protect themselves against violent wheelchair bound cripples who make them fear for their lives

there is no such thing as excessive force when you are dealing with a mentally ill double amputee wielding a pen 

[guncrasher]

Hey if you want to twist my words to satisfy your sick sarcasm, give it a go. I'm glad the officer was unharmed; he over did it by shooting the man, but it happened and hopefully the man is in a better place. Dislike my thought?

Anybody who wants to harm another being, deserves the same back. Ill or not, everyone's life is worth the exact same.

in defense of the police officers the guy was using one of this robo wheelchairs. you know how dangerous they are.



and here's a secret video or those terrible criminals training

If your dumb enough to try to stab anyone you should be shot.

Turning the other cheek and giving people benefit of the doubt is for Liberals who are affluent and not open to the usual problems normal people are prone to

There is a lot of mental illness in the UK because they can't be spacemen or famous, instead of getting a crap job like everyone else, live the dream

Question:

Why is the cop such a pansy, that he had to resort to shooting the guy???
Instead of any of the other methods readily available to him???

Tazer, Pepperspray, Baton????

C'mon, the guy had a freaking PEN????

Just easier to stand away and waste the guy, huh???

edit: A ONE ARMED GUY, with a pen....!

[zack1234]

I don't think being stabbed with a pen is beneficial for anyone's well being

Being disabled does not make you a good person.

Such is the state of "Manhood" in the world today..

I'll bet his momma is proud, huh???

Probably give him a medal too, for disposing of another "useless eater"..

[gyrene81]

yep they should probably just shoot all mentally ill people right away instead of putting them into care, save the state a lot of money and also help protect police officers

that's not far off there bud, i'd vote for it. worst case, it would cut down on the "not guilty by reason of insanity" pleas in court...

2 police officers were out maneuvered by a mentally ill double amputee  and were forced to kill him as he held one officer at bay with a metal ink pen.   That is a sad state of affairs when two trained officers cannot subdue a double amputee without having to shoot him dead. If hes missing an arm, to move he will have to use the only arm he has............If it were a gun id understand......but this is just sad and pathetic.

On a side note, my pop was a PA State trooper....I have many LEO friends, and shoot with them at my club and their municipal range (helping them qualify)What im getting at is 99.9 times out of 100 Im on the LEOs side. Im gonna run this by them and see what they think.......Im praying theres more to the story

I want one of those
too easy to pull out a gun and shoot someone.  sorry but 2 TRAINED officers couldnt handle a cripple, what would they do if they encountered someone that isnt a cripple, that REALLY COULD do harm to them, and REALLY WANTED to harm them?? I am not siding with the cripple guy or the cops here, I wasnt there so I cant make judgement.   

[Shamus]

I really don't think the pen had a lot to do with the outcome. The guy in the chair was guilty of reckless operation of a mouth, sometimes sentence is carried out in the field rather than a courtroom.

I think these type of Anti police threads are non productive, who should police society the people?

The majority of people are daft like us

I have had very little trouble from the police and when they speak to me I am polite and then I go on my way

Oh by the way its not Democracy when you speak to the police they are in charge it is not a discussion between equals, if you don't like it you have a problem

[madhogg]

Just another suicide by cop... I was watching Brave Heart, now the English really know how to abuse their power...
