It's interesting that you can see what I think is the wad hit his shirt on kind of an arc if you watch it slowly. I saw it in full speed and thought maybe it was a beanbag round or something.

This one seems pretty cut and dry though. Whether idiots will care is another story.

Sidearm or shotty?

 

[GOYABEAN]

It sure looks cut and dry ! And by age 45 if the police tell you drop the gun doesn't consists of raising and pointing you're arm's towards the officer not a very smart choice

 

[fresch]

With 5 or so cars on the scene as it was going, down tells me the guy was doing something illegal.

 

[Blimey]

Who cares if good shoot? Riots anyway.

Right.

Cops always send proportionally appropriate responses.

I'm sure he just found the weapon there and was trying to keep it secured until he could safely turn it over to police. The gentleman was merely trying to show the officer what he found. Let's go destroy shit to honor him. We should probably bury him next to JFK as well.

 

[SomeSoldier]

Looked like suicide by cop to me.

Doesn't matter if it was cut and dry... You know they are going to crucify this Officer... Because that is the way it is now. I mean... Didn't you know... It isn't against the law anymore to shoot at cops. You're supposed to actually thank them for doing it and let them go on their merry way.

He went down fast!

He went down fast!

Dropped like a sack of potatoes! This is why you use 00 buck and not birdshot!

Right. Man with a gun call. 1 man so just send 1 cop. Gotta be fair when dealing with dangerous deadly threats.....

 

[gun_slinger_boy]

Man: receives buckshot to chest
Police: you good?

Good or bad there will be riots.

 

[Steal2B]

Not sure there will be more riots after looking at local reporting (which was better than the Mid Hudson News and ilk oft quoted here) , ...

The shooting was on Friday of last week and over last week end, out of town protesters made up much of reported 20 to 30 person showing to protest the fatal shooting.

After the week end protests (from out of town black panthers and moatov cocktailers), arrests were made and a curfew was enacted until today.

The family had asked that everyone remain peaceful before the weekend protests but apparently the out of towners had a differing opinion on how to react to a fallen "Black Panther Cadet" than the grieving family.

The grieving family continues to ask for calm after viewing the police videos on Monday. Although the Black Panthers called the deceased a Cadet, reporting left an impression he was mentally disturbed.

Hopefully the race baiting police haters don't compound the grieving family's tragedy.

Damn! I think this is the first time we agreed on something!

 

[meketrefe]

The guy doesn't seem to be acting like an even slightly sane person.
Sometimes I wonder what goes through their minds and they don't think they can die.
Or maybe they want to die and do not have the courage to pull the trigger on themselves.
very strange in deed.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

The only question that will matter.

What skin color does the dead guy have?

 

[Celt]

Looked like he had a long gun and pointed it at the cop from the hip. Id say good shoot, but thqt doesnt matter. If a black man gets killed by a cop its gonna spark riots regardless.

I guarantee there is a network monitoring police frequencies and when these reports are on the air this network puts the word out to its paid agitators to fire things up. Anything to create more chaos.

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

"Hey man, you good?" What kind of question is that?

"Uh, well considering I just took a shotgun blast to the chest........yeah, I guess I feel alright."

 

[Rocpo]

Right.

Cops always send proportionally appropriate responses.

In your vast knowledge of police work, define "proportionally appropriate responses".
It appears the male had a gun. A "man with a gun" call would explain the response of 2 agencies. Also, hearing "shots fired" brings everyone nearby, even the trout troopers.

Best way to explain it would be to show you one of the numerous examples of them doing it wrong.

Like they did in the recent Crossgates "active shooter."

Thats a good bingo!

I've never been a fan of "proportional" responses.

I prefer "bring everything you can spare" responses.

My preferred response to a home invasion would be a battalion of Marines for instance, I just can't afford to keep them on standby.

Well hopefully some day we'll get to the point where what we can afford isn't the massive storm trooper response.

They tend to get a little trigger happy when their boys are surrounding them in bravado waves.

You don't teach someone the right way to do something by showing a bunch of examples of the wrong way.

What would have been a more appropriate response by police in this video?

I think you've got that backwards.

They tend to get trigger happy when they are outnumbered and are afraid of losing control of the situation.
