Aldeer.com Forums Alabama Deer Talk Aldeer General Forum Here we go again.....Texas this time

I heard on the radio earlier this morning. From the way it sounded, the cop was actually in the wrong this time. According to talking heads anyways. I’ll have to see the video and evidence to decide if the story fits the actual actions.

Let's have some riots in Texas. Then next week, it turns out the perp was in the wrong. Haven't you been paying attention?

I don’t believe anything the New York Slimes print. But if the story is true as they reported it then I don’t understand why the Ranger shot him.

Again..... Not defending the officer, but from what I read, if the guy would've complied, he'd still be alive.

Show a little respek. A guy lost his life, no need to bust out into a rap battle with them rhymes

🤣

Guess what? Comply with the officer = don't get killed. How hard is that to understand?

You want to watch a comment section on Facebook explode, find a black person who comments on one of these articles “Why do black people keep getting killed by police?” and simply respond “because they don’t comply with orders.

Did that the other night and had to pop two bags of popcorn

I read the article about it on Fox news and it said about the same thing. Wasn't a Ranger that shot him it was the Rangers that arrested the city cop. Not much info other than what the article said. Guy steps in to assist a women in a domestic, gets in a fight with the other dude. Cop rolls up tries to arrest the guy that was standing up for the woman. Guy resists by walking off, so cop shoots him with a tazer then flat out shoots him for real.

Idk, just saying what I read on Fox.

All of this BS is from blacks not listening to the MF LEO plain and simple. I got into trouble when I was younger. Tried to run from the police drunk one night and had the whole driver with your left hand throw your keys out of the window bit. I fully complied even though I was hammered. Now if I would've gotten out and done all if the stupid skit these dumbasses do what do you think would've happened? I'll tell you what my cracker ass would've gotten shot and rightfully so. I'm sick and tired of this BS, we don't know what occurred. LEO has got it bad today and the cop probably messed up ,but these people bear some if the responsibilty too.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ This

Not debating this case but that seems to always be the sentiment expressed by anyone wanting to justify a shooting. A shooting should only be justified if a person's life is in danger. The "He should have complied." argument should never be used since non compliance should never be a shooting offence.

That and you have a right to resist an unlawful arrest. Hard to prove and the burden is definitely on you to prove. So it's better to just go along and fight it in court rather than the street. Or at at least this is what I was taught in Constitutional Law while in the Academy way back yonder years ago.

Exacerbation is the word. The reality is in MOST of these cases, LEOs can detain the (accused) perp without deadly force, but that's a really naive and narrow view of the bigger picture. Most of these things aren't happening in church parking lots on Sunday morning, they're usually happening in an already sketchy/dangerous part of town, with already heightened tensions, and both sides are already cocked, locked, and ready to rock. And usually you're dealing with folks (both sides) who have awfully low EQs, so they handle conflict very poorly and irrationally (come on, that's why their lives are where they are). So the resistance, body language, and be honest---the sheer gall of many of these perps, exacerbates a situation.

If the police are guilty of anything, it's not being above the fray, it's not being able to control their own EQ and professionally diffuse the situation. Justified?? I wouldn't know. I don't know what legally "justifies" lethal force, and I don't know how each situation went down.
Heck, I just sell insurance every day, and I have situations that incense me beyond my EQ and it shocks me. I get talked to in a way occasionally that makes me want to tell someone, "MF'r you ain't gonna talk to me like that!!!!...I'll beat yo @#$@## @%$$", and all they were doing is being a smartalec about prices or something

If that’s the case they would never arrest anyone. You just resist and they let you go so as not to escalate the situation.

I would NOT go into law enforcement today. I know that there are dirty cops. I know that cops cover for each other when they shouldn't. But is it a very difficult job.

During my work day I am never concerned with if the next person that I meet is going to attack me or try to kill me.

This may sound racist but if we would busload the troublemakers out to the range and show what happens when a .357 125 jhp hits the fruit or vegetable of their choice then perhaps understanding of stop meaning STOP OR THIS Happens! It might help.

No debate needed. Officer fired his taser first according to the article. That should have been enough to get the point across. I'm not justifying the officer's actions, just stating the fact that if he would've complied he'd still be alive. Seems simple to me.

reports make it sound like a very bad shoot, but who knows. Certainly not I.


I don't think one could justify tasing someone for just walking off, certainly not shoot someone for just walking off. Truth will out....
