Police are trained NOT to fire warning shots. They are also not trained to wound. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you realize how absurd that is in real time events,--4-5 seconds does not give anyone enough time to clearly figure out or react differently if they are in danger or not especially when you are already in a confrontation. In any event, it does not matter, Georgia law allows use of force when you are threatened with a deadly weapon--which the DA already stated that it was in a previous case.

If the officer did everything "by the book" why is he being charged on numerous counts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjkopite Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Murder is murder wherever it is committed, not just in the US. I worked on a project with Detroit PD for 6 months so I did witness some frontline policing and I saw good officers reacting very quickly to changing situations but I also saw some officers actually make situations worse with their attitudes and behaviors. Unfortunately you will always have good and bad in any organisation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two weeks ago in another case this same DA stated that a taser is a deadly weapon. Hi Ridge, I guess when he said it was a deadly weapon, he meant an Officer using on a civilian. Now that its used on a cop its now they to make it sounds like its a toy and should be totally dismissed as a reason to shoot someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of a DA who is up for re-election and is trying to use this to his political advantage. And now his total incompetence is out in the open.
