Quoted: I think the Taser grab justified the shooting, but I have to agree with Bama, the circumstances that led up to the Taser grab were pretty shitty. I hate Sovereigns. Don't get me wrong. The guy seems like a total douche. He won't be missed, but the lady cop needs to be.....dealt with. View Quote At the end of the day, it all comes back to....the side of the road is not the time to fight with the police. If they do something out of line, you fight them in court. |

You think the shoot is bad if the guy took the cops taser? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
Quoted:
Bad shoot. I hope there's a big civil suit over it and the agency gets reamed. 2) Since the man committed no crime, was unreasonably stopped by a "police officer" (in quotations because she is apparently that in name only), and the "officer" escalated because SHE FEARED FOR HER LIFE FROM A LAWSUIT, yeah, the shoot is bad. I'll bet you were one of the people saying the FL parking space shooter is guilty because he caused the incident which led to the man shoving him. (Knock it off. -40xb) |

my former chief and i had some run ins with several here. they "tried him in their court" and pronounced a death sentenced on him and other members of the dept. as i was riding with him on the stop i received some threats as well as a reserve. Sovereigns are fucking loons and yes many do have a sincere desire to kill police, more than a few have. That is a major reason they are treated as a direct threat when encountered. No this guy didn't deserve to die and that le fucked up. At the end of the day i still won't shed a tear over him. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Just another instance of poorly trained cops. Far as I'm concerned she should just lose her job but so should her supervisor who let her go out and the people that trained her and said that she was qualified to be a cop. I've known two different cops that came out of training and we're convinced all Sovereign citizens were out to kill law enforcement. kept talking about the video of the guys with AK-47 jumping out of the van. Would not listen to any reason that they all weren't out to kill them. |

I’m having a hard time believing that, after reading some of the responses here, I watched the same video that other people did.
That dude was summarily expected while being held by two cops and a civilian. He had no control of his limbs and wasn’t doing anything with anyone’s taser at the time he was murdered. Fuck that bitch, I hope she spends the rest of her life looking over her shoulder if she hasn’t been sent to prison to share a cell with a violent, aggressive 350lb ghetto lesbian. |

So what did this guy do to have the cops called? ETA: Cop was already there and his crime was not producing a drivers license for the dog shelter to see and then them saying he couldn't leave? Is that right? That guy was murdered. But if he had just produced a drivers license or was peaceful with the cops having committed no crimes, none of this would have happened. View Quote I hope the survivors hit the city with false imprisonment/kinapping as well. |

This is my take on it....I think the detention over the ID was bullshit, but that doesn't justify him in trying to take / possibly use the taser. At the end of the day, it all comes back to....the side of the road is not the time to fight with the police. If they do something out of line, you fight them in court. View Quote Obviously, you're correct that the smarter thing to do would have been to not resist and solve the problem later in Court. Much better than taking a bullet to the liver. Once the officer steps outside of the law, the officer has no reason to detain a suspect and no more legal protection than Joe-Six-Pack. It is very arguable that this officer went outside the law...so... whoops. Based on what I see here on the internet from the comfort of my air-conditioned office and without any connection to any of the parties and devoid of any possibility of political blow-back.. I probably would have made a different charging decision. |

Did you? View Quote Since you seemed to have missed it let me go over it for you. Here in GD on AR15.com we have some real dumbasses. We have some people that think you should be able to physically assault someone that was talking to a person other then you without any worry of the other persons defending themselves against a further violent attack. These people seem to believe that if a person is the victim of the fore mentioned violence and he uses justifiable force to stop further violence he should be arrested and charged with a crime. We also have people ( some in both groups) that want us to live in a police state. A place where it’s just fine for the kings men to stop you and ask for your papers when you have done nothing illegal. People that think it’s just fine for those kings men to kill you because you fought back when they assaulted you. What both of these kinds of people have in common is a hate and fear of those that will stand up for themselves against the animals and the government. They are so afraid that if they make waves they will draw attention from the kings men and lose what little freedom they have left and they are much too stupid to realize that just by feeling that way they have already given their freedom away. People don’t think freedom be scary like it is but it do Now, since I seemed to have missed your point will you please explain it to me? |

Quoted: I agree 100% in this case. When he attempted to take the cops taser, things went pear shaped. The whole deal was exacerbated by the incorrect actions of the police. It shouldn't have happened in the first place and wouldn't have if they had followed their own laws. EDIT: That said, Sovereign citizenship is not something that I support. View Quote |

While you may be right on the law, it seems like a very fine line to walk.....ie, what level for force is someone allowed to use against an unlawful detention and does it change if that person is a police officer? I'm obviously not smart enough to know the answer from a legal standpoint, but my guess is this guys family is about to get a payday. View Quote Doesn't mean the SC was legally wrong, it just means he is dead; which is better or worse depending on your ethos. |

Holy crap. Sovereign citizens are tools, and I enjoy watching them get owned. This was bad. He made the situation worse, but I don't see any justification for the detention. Therefore bad shoot.

Bad detention, bad shoot. That being said, act like a 'tard, don't get upset when the window doesn't taste so good.
Neither female needs to be a cop, ever again. I would have let the dude drive away, pulled him over for driving without a license and then found a reason to tow his car and really make him a free man, wandering along the land. |

Never pick up stray dogs because the government will kill you over it. |

Quoted: Ah, but there's still that nagging element of probable cause to be dealt with to justify the traffic stop...though it might be likely that the dead fellow's belief system might have gone as far as him "sticking it to the man" via a lack of vehicle maintenance that resulted in no attempt to have a safety inspection. But...since Alabama doesn't appear to require an annual safety inspection, you'd better hope that license plate light is out. View Quote |
