There is footage online were British cops follows a lunatic with a machete in one hand and a knife in the other, while some police got people out they way, one cop distracts the loon ,while another rugby tackles him to the ground, that proper policing in my view, and brave to boot. Agreed, but British cops aren't habitually armed. Neither are Brits. And let's not forget that at the time that the US cop shot this bloke, they didn't know what he might have been reaching for. He could have had an Uzi (nein millimeteeerr) which would have put a very different slant on the game. |

Hang on, what could the other cops have done if he'd pulled a knife on the cop he was struggling with? Shoot? They could back up ten feet. He has a knife they all have guns. Who do you think is going to get hurt first? This is more like “he’s getting away, hurry and shoot him dead!” |

The cop was a wuss, hence him shooting him in the back, not just once,seven times.

Don't be ridiculous. He was trying to incapacitate the cunt. I suspect he was high as a kite. If he was a coward, he would have just shot him the second he failed to follow his instruction. As it was, the bloke fought back and was tasered.
He had reasonable cause to shoot him and he can demonstrate that he wasn't intending to kill.

So then whenever someone resists arrest and turns away they might be reaching for an uzi. So you best shoot him first.

Of course they knew what he had, he had his back turned on the officer, he wasn't facing the officers with any weapon, just his back. bang bang(seven times)your nicked pal.

I don’t understand why they don’t use those wire lasso things.
That’s how you stop a suspect from getting away. Not by shooting him in the back multiple times (seven is a good number).
Reportedly when this guy woke up in the hospital he was handcuffed to the bed despite being paralyzed.

I suspect that SOP is that all arrested in hospital are handcuffed. In his case, he was more chained up, like a bike, than handcuffed. Either way, it's asking a lot of a cop to diagnose the condition of a prisoner and make a call like that. |

There was more than one cop on the scene, if they can't control the situation, stop him from entering his car, for whatever reason, they should look for a different job.

Yes I suppose he could have jumped out of bed and ran out of there. After all, they only shot him seven times.
How much of a cunt are you to shoot someone in the back and then immediately fire six more times? Christ.

American police officers go to work every day with their guns, face far more dangers than British officers, but to shoot a suspect in the back just because they can, is not being a police officer, its just plain lazy police work in my view, and that's why you have these killer cops.

That's a bit of a silly assertion, given what's been repeatedly set out above. You're welcome to your opinion, but it's an odd conclusion to draw.

Not really, regarding Blakes case, it was all due to lazy police work.

You would say that, because you know we can only go by the facts we have so far, which i have, of course you know better, defending a killer cop who was such a wuss, but a big tough guy with a gun, waits till the suspect is not facing him,then shoots him seven times in the back, he had the opportunity to shoot him in the leg, to stop him from going any further if he was such a dangerous man.
