[ARCHIVED THREAD] - California officer kills teen after machete attack.

Posted: 12/21/2014 1:00:50 PM EDT

Sorry if its a dupe...http://news.yahoo.com/officer-kills-teen-attacked-machete-183701474.html

"WILLOW CREEK, Calif. (AP) — A California Highway Patrol officer shot and killed a 17-year-old who attacked him with a machete, and the officer was hospitalized with major injuries, officials said."

The officer had responded to a report of a car hitting a telephone pole Thursday in the Humboldt County community of Willow Creek, CHP Capt. Adam Jager told the Eureka Times-Standard (http://bit.ly/1DVeozS ).

The officer and the boy stepped to the rear of the damaged car when the teen attacked the officer, Jager said. The officer raised his left arm to defend himself, Jager said, and also was struck on the hand and face.

Jager said the officer shot the teen an undisclosed number of times before locking himself in his patrol car and calling for backup. The teenager returned to his car and was honking the horn, Jager said.

Another officer arrived about 10 minutes later and found the teen lying naked next to his car, Jager said. The boy did not respond to the officer's commands, and the officer used a stun gun to place the teen in handcuffs. Jager described the teen as "completely erratic and irrational."

Paramedics treated the boy, who died at the scene. Officials said they had no history with the teen and the motive for the attack was unclear.

Officials did not immediately release the name of the teen or the officer, who was in stable condition.

Machetes are damn effective in putting the hurt on someone.

Or Muslim following orders to attack cops and soldiers. We have had 2 of those incidents here now in 2 months.

stripping naked seems to be a side effect of bath salts....

someone needs to synthesize the magical stripping naked compound
it could be infused with whatever....

"uh, mam... would you like a stick of gum?"

I'd rather be shot than be chopped up by a machete. Talk about a terrible way to be attacked/killed.

Modified Rule: Don't bring a knife machete to a gunfight.

I don't know what the officer was armed with (probably a .40 cal Glock) or how many times he hit the bad guy but he didn't go down right away. The officer had to retreat to his cruiser and lock himself in.

My first thought, or some other synthetic alternative.

Unfair! Under the Parity of Arms principle the youth was technically unarmed.

Next we will hear about the boy who got shot because he attacked a police officer with a shovel.

As I replied in the dupe thread, I've been fishing up there. Meth head or drunk indian.Or both.

As per Yahoo News - "California officer kills teen after machete attack"

Title to article is garbage.

Officer forced to defend himself from machete wielding attacker. Attacker dies later at the scene from wounds sustained during altercation.

The end.

From the comments:

The officer obviously was not well trained if he could not hit a leg, arm, hand, foot.

Yep. I have to to learn, with our left-leaning media, certain code-words. If the say 'boy or child' shot by police, odds are they were black.
