Lets say I'm a guntard. One of the low IQ people who owns guns, and I'm sitting on my front porch cleaning my gun, when it accidentally discharges, and the bullet strikes a cop who just happens to be driving by. Because it was an accident I spring into action and run to help the cop who I have just shot. The first thing I do is pull the cop out of his car and put him on the ground. Then I take the cop's handcuffs, and cuff his hands behind his back, for my personal safety of course. Then I stand there and watch the cop bleed out for 20 minutes before I call 911 to get him some medical help.

But it was just an accident. Yeah right. :roll: I would be convicted of trying to kill the cop in five minutes, and be sent to prison. But when a cop does the same stupid thing, it makes total since, thanks to the police apologist logic. So the cop just gets off with an all expense paid vacation at tax payer's expense. And people wonder how these incident keep happening every day. :roll:

So, what's that make you normally?

Anyway, looks like negligence here at first glance.

Not a guntard.

The US cops are too quick to shoot. This was obviously not an instance where it was justified to do so. I hope Mr Kinsey's lawyer gets to sue the pants off them!

Apparently the officer fired *three times* at Charles Kinsey... this suggests that it wasn't an accidental discharge, but a deliberate decision to fire... Either that, or the police officer accidentally fired a weapon set to 3-rounds bursts... which isn't really much of an excuse, by the way...

Thankfully Kinsey survived, though. Imagine the shit-storm that would have occurred - given the current tensions in the US - if he had died from his wounds...

Absolutely sickening how bad this has gotten.

I honestly feel better police training needs to be in order. It's long overdue.

I'd call the cop a "tard" if it wasn't for the fact the term has such awful connotations that I just don't use it at all.But if I did he'd qualify.

All law enforcement officers are trained to keep their finger OFF the trigger until they're ready to shoot, which means this careless person broke this first rule, and then compounded it by squeezing the trigger and firing 3 rounds (there is no way the weapon should have been set to automatic fire in this scene...both the cop and his on-site superior are negligent if this is the case).

This cop needs a different job.

This wouldn't have happened in Canada. Our cops aren't nearly as trigger happy. Just watch "To Serve and Protect" some time and compare it to "Cops".

I can't believe I'm saying this, and forgive me for saying this (I really do), but the United States is no longer a place to be in.

There's so much ugly stuff going on in so little time, that is not funny anymore.

^Hell, I rather live in Canada. Unless the US gets their sh*7 together, I...

*Sighs*

...I just don't know...

I don't understand why or how this happened, hopefully there is an answer soon before anybody does anything stupid. Cops need more training or special officers to deal with mental illness, far too often it seems that they end the killing the person rather than helping. I have to believe that there is video of this shooting that hasn't been released, hopefully these cops have body cameras and justice can be served.

^What all of the Police in the US seriously need is some psychologic and psychiatric evaluations. :evil:

I believe they do have those as part of the training/hiring process

Then how come the Police act like people from the Standford Prison Experiment? Specially, and correct me if I'm wrong, white men from the Southern States?

Well the people in the Stanford prison experiment were normal college students that were suppose to be sound of mind and body, that was the entire point of the experiment to see what would happen when they made ones an authority and the other a prisoner. We don't even know if the cop that shot this guy was white or a man so lets not get ahead of ourselves yet. I don't think these problems are exclusive to one race or geographic location, it's an issue everywhere.
