Police Officer Shoots Escaping Man: Raw Dash Cam (Unnecessary!!) VIDEO

Wow...what an assumption.

Well, I can tell you FOR SURE, that I don't call them unless there's a TRUE NEED. This is coming from a guy who has been stabbed and shot at. After being stabbed...I went to the hospital. Didn't call them. After being shot at...went home.

So...not everyone is as spineless as yourself.

Out weighed him 5 or 6 times? Are you dumb or just not good at math? The dead guy prob weighed anywhere from 135-160. Lets say he weighed 140. 5 times his weight would be 700lbs. Those 2 cops do not weigh 700lbs. The woman, 180-200. The man maybe around 230-250. The dead guy was out in the middle of the road, yelling at cars as they drove by, high as fuck. He seemed calm until the man showed up. Then he probably thought it would be okay to fight. Don't blame the cops for provoking him for being too rough when cuffing him. If you think they're too rough, stfu and go quietly and have your lawyer look into it. Don't fight back, that is never going to end well. Everyone says he was running away. He wasn't. He was running to get into the patrol car and drive away.

I will say shooting him was unnecessary. That's what tasers are for.

You really think the 2 of them weigh 800lbs together? Come on man. 450 together would be accurate. Besides, the dead guy was tweaked ou of his mind.

Let's see; the fat male is about 270. The fat female is 290. That makes 560. The victim was about 140. So the two hogs, together, outweighed the victim 4:1.

No. Not even close. He's around 250 and she's anywhere from 180-200.

"The woman, 180-200."

Her ass alone weighs 200.

Fucking children.

You really think that fat sow only weighs 180? People who weigh 180 are much, much smaller than her. She's tall to begin with. She has the butt and legs of a fat NFL linebacker. She's at least 290.

Twinkie alert

Let's say this; if she came to my house, I would not want her sitting on my furniture. She would break it.

I don't think you know what you're talking about. She's not over 200, guarantee. Ya, she's got thick thighs and a big ass but she's no taller than 5 10. 290? Dude, a 290 lb woman is fucking huge. Have you ever seen a fat NFL linebacker? Those guys aren't fat, they are huge, muscle bound bulls with bigger chest than guys and bigger arms than your head.

Another point about the fat male. Let's say he weighs 270. A man who is a solid 270 would be difficult to contend with. The punches from the 140 pounder should have just bounced off of him with no effect.

But let's say the 270 pounder is in reality, a 140 pounder trapped under 130 pounds of excess blubber. The trapped 140 pounder can barely carry the excess 130 pounds. That's why he can't walk straight. He probably falls down a lot. The punches from the other 140 pounder, the one without the 130 pounds of excess blubber, took a toll.

Not to mention cops wear vests that make their upper body seem bigger. No word yet on whether her ass is vested up.

If she's 5' 10", and with her frame, she would have to be much thinner to weigh 180. At 180, a big boned female such as her would actually be fairly thin. With her huge ass and legs, though, she's closer to 290.

Good point. But the cop got up didn't he? The dead guy my have been skinny. But don't forget to factor in he was methed up and full of adrenaline and rage.

Good thing he's dead, he doesn't know how to act in a civilized society...

No way dude. Pause the video at the end where she is right infront of the car and you can see he face. Look at her stomach. She doesn't have a gut. Even with the best her upper body doesn't look that fat. . Just a big ass and big thighs. I don't think you realize how woman's bodies are built. To to Walmart and you will see some genuine 250, 300 club ladies. The cop isn't one of them. Sorry. Trust me. I've fucked a few fat chicks in my day built like this female cop.

Why does everyone care that they aren't anorexic sticks? Bottom line is you don't fight with or run from the police...you take your case before a judge in a civilized society...

Exactly. The last 4 pages have turned into weight bashing. No one wants to admit that the dead guy started fighting first then tried to flee and get into the cop car.

Vegetarianism doesn't provide the needed fats and protein that the brain and body needs, so they end up not being able to think properly and vote for Obama...on top of it they are likely to do drugs because their system craves proper nutrients and since they refuse to eat meat they turn to other chemicals...those are the people calling the cops fat and say they were wrong to shoot the crack head that punched them and ran...

I'm not trying to argue that the individual was innocent in any way. This is one where I am willing to give the benefit of the doubt to the cops. But this part of your statement troubles me greatly.
Wouldn't it be more correct to say, "what the officer claimed they were thinking or feeling at the time". I mean, the "coming right for us" mentality is easy to claim after the fact, especially in this case where the individual was off screen. It could have been equally likely in this case, all possible results considered that the individual could have a) picked up a rock, stick or other more harmful weapon and was advancing, b) continued to run off, not changing direction and just continue running, c) tried jumping into the cop car to foment mass mayhem, d) stopped and turned around with their hands up, or any other possible action. "D" might be not as likely, depending on the circumstances, but if the perp was 21, and just wanted for disorderly conduct, as another poster mentioned, it is feasible that the situation just got out of hand too quickly.
My main gripe is that all we are going off of in this instance is that the officer is "claiming" that she felt threatened. There is no video to prove that this statement is true. This seems to be a frequent thing in these shootings, where there is less than 100% evidence.
Again, the officer probably was in the right, but is there any true accountability for veracity in most of these cases?

yep, doing stupid things around police can get you killed

If I had a son ignorant enough to not follow police officer directions and try to fight them, he deserves to be shot.

So, let me get this traight, "escaping" is a capital offense?????????????????

I was just thinking the same thing.

Fascist means conservative these days. They are hoping it will stick.

Well, us normal people out here are glad people like you are doing the job you do.

Don't let the folks that are trying to escape the law influence how you feel about the rest of us.

You do a valuable service and are needed.

Can't discriminate against fat people....that's the new normal...supersize...me

The problem with the guy running away is it can lead to carjackings or this sort of thing:



[link to abclocal.go.com]

And other people get hurt:

"-- A police chase came to a deadly end in Lower Manhattan late Tuesday night.


A suspect attempting to flee from police was struck by at least one car while crossing the FDR Drive at East 6th Street just after 11:30 p.m.
Police were chasing the 22-year-old suspect when he ran across the highway. He dashed onto the road and was struck by a livery cab"

While shooting him to keep him from getting run over seems counter productive, it helps protect those driving.

The therapeutic hold position triggers panic in some inebriated perps due to hypoxia, which appears to be what happened there. Panic, irrational response, boom. I still hate Freud.

Via Freud has anyone here pointed out already how this shooting was directly caused by women's liberation? The male officer naturally feels the need to be dominate, aggressive and protective before the female, squishes the guy and starts the whole thing. A couple of guys working together would not have had any biological urge to escalate things. Unfortunately, the aggressive cop is then emasculated when the females uses her phallic weapon to kill his prey.

Let us NOT forget, there will more than likely be a civil case.

I do NOT think she will far well.

She will NOT get charged with murder, but manslaughter for sure. What degree, that will all depend.
