No question it's a bad shoot. What's interesting is that he had been involved in a previous shooting that was clean (was actually taking rounds from the bad guy prior to the shoot). While I expect he'll be convicted, I'll be interested to see how possible PTSD works into this, and what charge he ends up with. THIS is why PTSD in cops is a serious (but generally ignored) issue... it can result in a very bad thing happening to an innocent man.

BTW, for all the basement-dwelling, mouth-breathing cop haters out there, no favoritism was shown in the case, nor was anything covered up. Rule of law in action.

Interesting information. You are correct that PTSD in police work is often ignored or overlooked.

Not that it in anyway justifies this shooting, but this is a clear example of why you should not do quick, furtive movements when in contact with officers. You might have a jumpy officer like this one. Tell the officer what your doing or reaching for/to so as to help avoid possible tragedy like this case or worse.
 

lol

"lol" all you want, being smart is better than getting shot.

This attitude REEKS of "blaming the victim."  Well, that man should have known not to make any furtive / "odd" moves when dealing with a cop. He coulda been dealing with Officer Friendly or Officer Nervous Nellie. Too bad he has Parkinson's and got the short stick with Officer Nervous Nellie.

It should be traffic stop 101 for LEOs to not make bad stops, number one, and then if they do, to NOT SHOOT AN AMERICAN CITIZEN WHO IS IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM A LETHAL THREAT number two. THAT is what should be "traffic stop 101."

Just speaking generally about LEO encounters. Again, I'm not justifying this officers actions, or even the the stop itself. It should just be traffic stop 101 not to make sudden movements towards your waist, pockets or inside your vehicle. Justified or not, shot is shot and I'd prefer not to be shot at all.

and all too rare, that's why cops are hated. Cops will continue to be hated until the "police up their shit." They had to admit that its they that are the problem, not everyone else.  We still have not seen the blue wall come up, I sure it will with a fully paid for public defense as well and a reinstatement.

You guys are not out of the woods yet.

Here is hoping for a life sentence or at the very least and never ever holding any position of responsibility over the public again.

In both cases, the officers reacted to perceived threats as they were trained. And in both cases, the officers will have to live with themselves for pulling the trigger on people who were not carrying real guns.

At face-value, in both cases they were legally justified based upon what they knew at the time. I'm sure the officers would feel much better if they had taken an extra few seconds to assess what they were seeing before pulling the trigger.  

My argument is that pre-articulated responses to situations, intended to save lives, are resulting in unfortunate tragedies that people have to live with. I find that to be a very valid point.

Max 20 years?  What will be the actual time served? 10? 5?  Be honest now.

You also skipped right past his point of how a non-JBT would be charged.  Do you disagree that is true?

Pathetic try at redirecting.

He intentionally shot (i.e., used deadly force) against another human being, without justification. Why hasn't he been charged with an attempted homicide crime of some sort?

Revenue collecting should not be a #1 reason to pull someone over. I believe in Mass a seat belt violation is not allowed as the reason to pull you over. After they do pull you over for some other BS they then can tac it on to further the total fine. Well atleast that vic will be getting a new truck.

They always sell it as a "secondary" enforcement law when it's first enacted. Then the slippery slope kicks in, and they change it to "primary," and then start doing checkpoints to enforce it.

Its a sad reality. Its fucked up that innocent citizens need to be educated on proper traffic stop ettiquete to increase their odds of surviving a routine encounter with police.

And we shouldn't dismiss that this whole stop was initiated based on a supposed seatbelt violation. Seatbelt laws are complete bullshit and serve absolutely no purpose and do nothing to improve the public safety. Requiring someone to wear a seat belt doesn't make them any less dangerous behind the wheel.

Seat belt law exist for only three reasons and none of them are for public safety:

1. It gives suspicious cops one more excuse to pull someone over when they otherwise can't justify a stop.

2. It raises revenue.

3. Its just one more charge to pile on when they wanna throw the book at someone.

Looks to me like that JBT was just JBTing. He figured he'd just shake the kid down a little and maybe nab him for something else in the process or at least generate a little revenue with a bullshit charge. The poor guy, out of fear orignorance complied and did exactly as he was told  and got shot for his trouble.

Her is a thought. If routine traffic stops are just one furtive movement away from a shooting why don't we minimize the risk by getting rid of bullshit laws and bullshit traffic stops. The traffic stop that never happened can't become a shooting. That's better for the cop and the citizen.

Had a female in my academy class that got washed out during field training.



She wanted to play street counselor and somehow "justify" that a POS's upbringing was the cause of their criminal behavior/actions.




Thus, the POS didn't need to go to jail.




She was also afraid of her own shadow.




After getting cut loose, she got picked up by a smaller, local PD.




During a traffic stop, she shot at the driver since he was "reaching for a weapon".




Needless to say, the dashcam video didn't justify her actions.

Where "concept" and "reality" collide.

The concept of firing if someone is making an un-commanded reach for something is legit when the totality of circumstances add up.

When you ASK the guy to get something and he does, the totality is put on hold for a second.

The cop failed to make some logical choices and didn't watch the hands.

He is a dunce.

Sad, but the driver needs to say, "Ok, license is on the dash" and wait a second. He's not at fault.

I hope you are right, but as you well know, or should the vast majority of the time that is not the case. The police line up, cover up and protect the officer. he gets a  milf  ..something.. and he back out there in no time at his job or another department.

People are getting shot because they don't know any better by officers who are simply being too aggressive. This is not isolated, it is a trend that needs de-escalated.


Calm down.  There are tens of thousands of vehicle stops and other police contacts that happen every single day.  Very rarely is any force used, much less deadly force.  And in the overwhelming majority of cases when deadly force is used, it is very easily justified.  This guy fucked up and overreacted, not a trend.  And he will answer for it.


I would love to see those statistics posted from a reliable source.  Please provide the data to support your claim.

BTW, love the patronizing way you answered, lol.


If he's claiming trend or no trend, I want to see the linear regression with P and F value reported. (and obviously what alpha was used)

Max 20 years?  What will be the actual time served? 10? 5?  Be honest now.

You also skipped right past his point of how a non-JBT would be charged.  Do you disagree that is true?

Pathetic try at redirecting.

He got arrested on some chickenshit, minor A&B charge. Would have been "attempted capital murder" if the roles were reversed.

its an aggravated battery charge that carrys up to 20 years....

fuck, know what the fuck your talking about before spouting off about other states laws...its a bad shoot and he's going to do some time over it

you want to argue time served? who fuck serves all their time? the man was charged, and the trial hasn't even started....im sure you can drive down to south carolina and find some rope on the way to out right hang the guy if you so desire.........and there are many cases of use of force against police officers that end up being plea bargained down....oh shit lets not forget about plea bargains now, where the fuck is extorris

i don't need to redirect a damn thing, you fuckers are just dumbfounded that a state actually police up its messed quickly...and the copblock types are grasping

Just speaking generally about LEO encounters. Again, I'm not justifying this officers actions, or even the stop itself. It should just be traffic stop 101 not to make sudden movements towards your waist, pockets or inside your vehicle. Justified or not, shot is shot and I'd prefer not to be shot at all.

No question it's a bad shoot. What's interesting is that he had been involved in a previous shooting that was clean (was actually taking rounds from the bad guy prior to the shoot). While I expect he'll be convicted, I'll be interested to see how possible PTSD works into this, and what charge he ends up with. THIS is why PTSD in cops is a serious (but generally ignored) issue... it can result in a very bad thing happening to an innocent man.

BTW, for all the basement-dwelling, mouth-breathing cop haters out there, no favoritism was shown in the case, nor was anything covered up. Rule of law in action.


Interesting information. You are correct that PTSD in police work is often ignored or overlooked.

Not that it in anyway justifies this shooting, but this is a clear example of why you should not do quick, furtive movements when in contact with officers. You might have a jumpy officer like this one. Tell the officer what your doing or reaching for/to so as to help avoid possible tragedy like this case or worse.
 

Seriously?! I am supposed to explain my actions as I perform them to satisfy a JBT who demanded my "papers please" while he was making an unwarranted SEAT BELT "violation" stop ON PRIVATE PROPERTY so I don't have to worry about getting shot?!?!

NO.

I understand what youre saying. When i am talking with the cops i don't make a single move with out telling him what i am doing and where i am doing it. does not make this situation ok but i would rather not get shot for something stupid.

Then again when facing police some peoples brains shut off and the driver was not thinking he was gonna get plugged.

This attitude REEKS of "blaming the victim."  Well, that man should have known not to make any furtive / "odd" moves when dealing with a cop. He coulda been dealing with Officer Friendly or Officer Nervous Nellie. Too bad he has Parkinson's and got the short stick with Officer Nervous Nellie.



It should be traffic stop 101 for LEOs to not make bad stops, number one, and then if they do, to NOT SHOOT AN AMERICAN CITIZEN WHO IS IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM A LETHAL THREAT number two. THAT is what should be "traffic stop 101."

No, he doesn't need to go to jail. He needs a quick trial and a sharp drop. Then maybe he can be buried under the jail.

He intentionally shot (i.e., used deadly force) against another human being, without justification. Why hasn't he been charged with an attempted homicide crime of some sort?

Also, consider switching to decaf.

you obviously need to continue to practice law in virginia....and nowhere else....as you have no idea what south carolina's law's are....there was no plan to shoot the man,
the state charged him with the highest charge that will possibly stick....are you familiar with that, like actually trying to win cases?

and i don't drink coffee....i just get sick of reading your post stirring shit....the pit is down the road if you want get into any further philosophical discussion

State  has not handled anything yet. We still have a court  defense to pay for.  

Thousands of cops walk every year from this point untouched from this point. It will be handled when he is safely in prison without parole, and never ever ever to hold a position of public responsibility again.

We will see.

This is what happens when you teach or someone learns tasks rather than goals. The task here (and it was wrong) is to shoot people who make furtive movements. The goal is to use force when necessary against threats.

Plenty of non-LEOs shoot people and do little time in the pen. Attempted murder can be served in under 10.
