White teenager shot in back
« on: August 07, 2015, 11:50:53 PM »
Police in South Carolina have shot a white unarmed teen in the back during a pot bust.
I presume there will follow public outrage and rioting.

Or not

Pot is dangerous stuff man...I really can't see this thread ending well, especially considering.. Oh man, I'm not going to say anything about it, I just got off parole on here not too long ago, don't need skuzzy marking up my account again:P I really hope the thing I read online is wrong, that he wasn't shot over a couple joints. Hell, even here I don't think the law is that bad. Seems to me, and granted I wasn't there but I don't think I Would need to shoot anyone in the back the backs of people really isn't all that threatening to me. Much less shoot them twice over, having said that if I'm ever in that situation I think i'd be ok. Theres no way I'd consider a LE career without a gopro or something along those lines, too many nutters.  :old:

Returned about 18 months ago.  Still on the lookout for various others who've disappeared though. 

Anyway, thread hijack, back to the subject.

One never knows. The young fellow may have put the officer's life in danger, for example by refusing to extinguish his cigarette.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

I've been lucky in that regard, no accidents in all my years of driving, and only a warning or two for speeding or whatever it was at the time. But, my limited experience with the cops here at least has been pleasant. Then again, I'm not that big of a idiot to where I would disrespect the officer or anything, just "Slow 'er down" type of things is all i've got. I'm sure there are lots of little rules like that, regarding if you're putting them in danger. If the facts turn out that the officer was in the wrong, then so be it. I Just have a hard time imagining some white kid that got busted with a couple joints posed him or the public any real threat.

You're not that big of an idiot? Well let me just congratulate you on that.  Sad fact is you don't know what this kid was doing to get shot, getting NOT shot over weed I would think would be pretty simple, just don't grab the cops gun, reach for a knife, any of those types of things and do what the cop says.  Cops don't want to kill people, I know from first hand experience.  These suspects kill themselves with the smart alec moves they make.

I have already seen posts about this in other forums and on news sites the same as when police shoot other unarmed people.

How's that strawman?

Shooting a guy for running should be a crime. If that is relevant.

That depends on how dangerous the criminal is perceived to be.
