Houston officer kills double amputee in wheelchair

[MarineUS]

It's amusing. Folks on here joking at the cop but in that very story are links to two different stories of cops killed on duty.

$#!t happens.

Off topic: The fiancee and I went to see "End of Watch" last night. Was pretty good.

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

Well unfortunately, the fact that anyone with a High School diploma, or GED can get a badge and a gun.  So long as they haven't been convicted of a serious crime already.

I think a smaller, smarter, better police force would be much more favorable than the large ones we have now.  From what I can tell the way most police work is done by fishing with their radar gun and then investigating those who get pulled over and seem suspicious.

That is the statement of someone who has no clue about the job. You really should try it yourself if you think it's so easy.

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.

The really sad and pathetic thing is that there are people on here who are defending the cop's actions  This place is amazing

I didn't say that doing the job was easy.  I said the job is too easy to get.

How many had the guy attacked before?

I am appalled by some of the responses in here......but it gives me some insight to the minds of those.....or should I say the lack of a mind.



wish I could really speak my mind to them.

[coombz]

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...

so would you also vote for summary execution for returning war veterans with mental disorders? or just wait for their PTSD to influence them to misbehave, and then support their execution by trigger-happy cop when it happens?

or would vets be exempt, but people who came by their mental illness in a less noble way be fair game?

How many had the guy attacked before?

Who knows? You have the same information I do  I'm pretty sure that if he had a record of violent crime the police would have made sure to harp on it in their statement though.

"The owner of the group home, John Garcia, told the Houston Chronicle that the man had a history of mental illness and had been living at the house about 18 months. Garcia said the man had told him that he lost a leg above the knee and all of one arm when he was hit by a train."

Its really sad and pathetic how anytime someones opinions differ than yours it's sad and pathetic. Guess its your way or no way huh? Hitler had the same mentality as did Stalin. Way to be open minded Coobz    If the pen had puntured an artery of the cop  what would your feeling THEN be? Im sorry but if you have intent to kill another you should be put down. Who to say that the guy(who obviously has no problem trying to commit bodily harm) wooldnt have killed in the future? How many stories must we see of killers getting out of prison only to kill again? Plus think of it as a govermental  budget cut as that is one less ward of the state to take care of.

good day sir

if the pen had punctured an artery of the cop I would laugh at the cop for being so incompetent that he couldn't defend himself against a one armed man in a wheelchair armed with a pen

    I didn't even know there was such a thing, that is hilarious, and not surprising that a Libtard(according to Zack) would know of it, ironic yes suprising no.

Guess no answer to my direct question, what if that pen had severed an artery?
