FBI to investigate officer shooting double-amputee
[link to hosted.ap.org]

What happened next is the subject of an investigation that now involves the FBI. One of the two Houston police officers who entered the home fatally shot the double-amputee in the head, saying he was cornered by the wheelchair and thought his partner was being threatened by what turned out to be a ballpoint pen.

Police spokeswoman Jodi Silva said she didn't know if the department requesting FBI assistance in officer-involved shootings was rare but said "it's the step we're taking at this point."

The officer felt he was cornered by a crazy man in a wheelchair!

He HAD to shoot!

Wheelchair bound double-amputee's are extremely dangerous. I'm sure the police knew it was either him or them.

This is bullshit. The officer felt in fear for his partner's life, and was forced to shoot. No one else was there, so we have no right to second guess his decision.

Good shoot!

That would never happen, because I would obey any commands a police officer gave me. And then they wouldn't shoot me -- funny how that works!

When you give a cop a hard time you are just setting yourself up to get ventilated by some 9mm hollow points -- COOPERATE and that won't happen!

Re: FBI to investigate officer shooting double-amputee
what i don't understand about these cop killings is why they have to shoot to kill. why no just shoot them in the leg or arm? But no.....this one they had to shoot a armless, legless, wheelchaired bound man in the head

If he has no limbs it's kinda hard to shoot him in one...

That's true I guess....but the important thing here is that he was shot.

I wonder if his wheeled weapon was one of those motorized chairs....those things can really hurt your shin or mash a toe....

Shot... not shoot. Get right your English.

I think the emotions should be somewhere in the middle... vitriolic pro and against is not helping anyone.

Cops are supposed to be trained to handle situations like this... and only use a weapon as a last resort. It is difficult to understand why the officer, when at such a close range, would not distinguish between a gun and a pen.

There would be no other reason to 'fear for life..' as either officer may be injured by a pen, or wheelchair -- and had a right to defend themselves to that extent... cause injury to wheelchair bound individual if necessary to disarm situation. Shooting twice in head, does seem a bit extreme.

Now, if wheelchair bound man was saying 'I am going to kill you...' 'I have aids and my blood is on this pen.'... then perhaps there was a legitimate threat.

Both sides need to calm down and wait for more information to be released.

couldn't that Pig just tip the guy over? I mean, that's what happens in my brother's jail--he's a Director type.

when they get a handicap outta control, they simply gently lay the wheelchair on its side w/ the person in it. and wait to he camls down.

but this! this fuckin' Pig just shoots this guy. the Pig was just like, "awe fuck it! I wanna go to IHOP! let's get this over with!"
