Rogue cop on shooting rampage fan of Obama, gun control, Piers Morgan

That's the worst excuse, actually. If you're not sure of who you're shooting... don't shoot! 2 asian women don't look like 200+ pound black man!

The only way to get confused in this situation would be if the police were blindfolded.

I don't recall excusing anyone. It does seem the plain clothes officers were a little trigger-happy

And after reading his manifesto, I can see that he was indeed ideologically motivated. Extremism strikes again.

Also,

Women shot by cops were just delivering papers - U.S. News

They were "just" delivering papers, but they were also breaking the law.

I'm wondering if Obama will check in on this one

Probably. Why?

Like Hiroshima was just a "little" atomic bomb?

Sure - to say how evil guns really are.

 

[conamer]

I think we should ban cops.

Go ahead and state for us what law they were breaking. It could have been many laws really. Maybe one hadn't paid sales tax on an item they bought at a yard sale. Maybe they were pirating music. So which of the potentially dozens of laws they could have been breaking is relevant to the police shooting them?

I mean, talking about the rodney king incident is fine, but he was speeding.

I heard it was a case of mistaken identity.

Much worse than that, they never even called out to the driver and the passenger they just opened up on them.


2 Innocent Women Shot During Manhunt For Ex-Cop Chris Dorner Had ‘No Warning’ « CBS Los Angeles

The two women who were mistakenly shot by LAPD officers searching for triple murder suspect Christopher Dorner Thursday said they had no warning beforehand, according to the victims’ lawyer.

In a news conference, Police Chief Charlie Beck said the officers thought the women’s royal blue Toyota Tacoma matched the description of Dorner’s dark-colored Nissan pickup truck.
“Tragically, we believe this was a case of mistaken identity by the officers,” said Beck.
Jonas finds that hard to believe.
“The vehicle is a different color. The license plate doesn’t match. There’s nothing there for you to start shooting people. And even if they had the person in question… Mr. Dorner…you still have to give them an opportunity to get out. You can’t just start administering street justice,” said Jonas.
Carranza suffered minor injuries to her hand from shattering glass.
Hernandez, who was shot in the back, is in ICU at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.

Regardless of this guy's political beliefs he's clearly nuts. I think this whole sad episode should highlight to people that the cops aren't always going to be there to protect you and they might not be the 'good guys' we hope them to be. All the more reason for citizens to exercise their rights and take responsibility for their own security and defense.

Strange isn't it - they are trying to take our guns, yet they are telling the people in that area to be loaded and prepared.

It is not strange once you realize that they are not trying to take our guns.

They were driving in the dark with the headlights off.

YEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAWWWWW YIP YIP YAHOOOOO!

 

[TerranceL]

YEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAWWWWW YIP YIP YAHOOOOO!

I'd rather be thought of as a cowboy becaus I took responsiblity to defend myself than be a corpse because I gave that responsibility to the police.

Exactly. You should definitely base society on Mad Max movies.

Well, I guess if assuming responsibility for my own safety makes me a cowboy I'm guilty as charged. Since when has personal responsibilty been a crazy or wierd notion? I guess I should just cower in the corner and beg the criminal to go away and not hurt me.

If it prevents more massacres? I'm fine with that.

Wow, so here we have the true objectives of the anti-2nd Amendment crowd laid bare. Civilian disarmarment for the illusion of security.
