Video: Police shooting caught on tape v. family wants to sue LOL!

[soul]

I see nothing wrong, if i was pulling a gun on someone, i would shoot for the head too. Escpecially if they already had there gun pulled and trying to shoot my ass. Bitch got what he deserved

I guess I understand what you are saying but the kid was 16 and had a future even if he was choosing the wrong path in life. I know excuses are like assholes and everyone has one but we do not really know what was going through that kids head. An adult I would be a little more understanding, although still feel it was a little cold. The kid could of had a severe punishment for his actions but instead he is dead. This is now only going to cause more kids to rebel against cops because of one kids stupid choice that cost him his life. Who has not made a stupid or even very illegal choice in their life? I know I have. How many of us on this forum street race? If I am thinking right not only are we risking our own lives but the lives of every other person on the road. Think about it.... Maybe not the same scenario but pretty much the same idea...

He was a coke dealer, fuck him and his future, he just making the country worse, and adding to our decaying society and all its junkies

I understand your opinion. It is all just a lesson to be learned I guess and pretty much everybody has a choice. He made a bad one and he punished not only himself but his whole family for it. I just hope my family makes better choices then this kid did because this was just a nice dose of the real world live on IA...

OR HE COULD OF KILLED A COP that was just doing his job. If your a drug dealer fine, but when you get arrested take it like a man. You don't kill someone for doing their job, and busting you. He got what was coming to him. Just glad it wasn't the other way around.

He went BEYOND making a stupid choice. The guy (he is 26) also had many grams of cocaine on him as well. He was under the influence of many drugs and anything less than a head-shot would have put the officer's life in jeopardy. The guy STILL had the gun under him, in his hands, when the officer shot him. You can see the officer toss the weapon in the video. Now, a shot to the back, shoulder, leg, arm, etc, would not guarantee that the suspect could not still roll over and shoot the officer. Adrenaline is an amazing thing.

I've seen a video where a drunk guy comes at an officer with a knife. The officer shoots the guy in the stomach with a .45. The guy STILL continues to fight and come at the officer for many minutes until a passerby stops to help.
