The focus of police training must be to respect constitutional rights. It would help avoid situations like this one. This cop didn’t think for one second about the rights of the citizenry This officer NEVER identified himself as an officer, he’s nowhere near his patrol car, he didn’t initiate a traffic stop. ANYBODY can dress up like a police officer. This kid literally didn’t do a single thing wrong.

[@slimjimjimslim5923]

I am not sure if any training can help. I seen on LivePD where the suspect is crying and talking to the police and the police was very calm and then the suspect just takes out a gun and start blasting. And then there are case like this here where clearly the cop was going in assuming he has to draw his weapon and shoot. I don't know man, when the job entails dealing with nervous teenagers, gangbangers, people with guns pretending to be nervous, it's all a mixed up soup. I guess human instinct just kicks in with the mantra "better safe than sorry" and that cause police to assume the worst

[@harryshome4588]

Constitutional rights by ass bro, this isn't a matter of rights. It's a matter of callousness, inhumanity to other humans etc. This officer was already fucked in the head before this happened, he was already in a state of mind where he found it acceptable to abuse his power, kill and try to get away with it. I think this officer needs to sit down on a chair, all limbs duck taped together and the man he shot holding a knife in his hand all in an sound proof room to get that same adrenaline, and fear he put that young boy through. When you pull a trigger, you know that one pull can take a life or put someone through severe/unimaginable pain, it doesn't take any thought to look at that, it's so obvious. A responsible man knows when to pull the trigger, a confused man does by accident or in fear, but a man who intentionally does it to harm without trying to protect themselves is a murderer and the most appalling form of human their could be, a total failure of a human, when you don't consider the lives of all people you raise your gun to, thoughtlessness is only acceptable when your in a real dangerous situation when perhaps someone is trying to kill you, thats a moment when you might just have to pull that trigger no matter what but in this instance, it's simply attempted intentional murder. If that young boy was part of my family, I'd swear on all gods, that guy would never never been heard from again, I'm a man that advocates for love in peace but they are both a two way street, there is no peace when another declares war, and if there is war I'll play that game til they realize it was never a game, I'll show them the monsters they are because that's how far I can go, I want nothing more than to watch them be frightened by their own reflection as they've forced others to feel.

This officer failed to follow procedure and a person, innocent or guilty, was gravely harmed because of it. We shouldn’t justify this.

As a teen, I used to play GTA games and tought that police in those games were so unrealistic. You bumb a police car and start to run, and all the police start to shoot. Looks like rockstar got it just right, I live in Finland where police are well trained and educated, they really serve all people and thats why they are respected highly among people.

[@ir1041]

Always lock my doors no matter where I am or what I’m doing. My car instantly unlocks when I go into park and a hate it.

[@moongloomable]

Look in your manual usually there is a way to change that behavior. I did it on my Toyota.

[@ir1041]

I tried. I got a Kia for the huge warranty and, honestly, because I couldn’t quite afford a Camry in the current climate. It’s an ok commuter but it does have some stupid features like this - you can’t turn it off in the settings menu. I heard the dealership could do it but I just make sure I lock it when it unlocks. Thanks for the advice.

[@carlam6669]

The kid’s girlfriend was in the passenger seat. So, the cop was also shooting at her. As far as I know, she was not hit.

[@ardynites1733]

Poor kid . That’s fucked up

[@Stetsonhatman]

I would have assumed a car jacking and done the same as the kid. Firing is not enough the cop needs to face attempted murder charges. If the local DA won’t then take it federal.

I’m for police reform. I don’t hate all cops. But I despise this cop. I despise the cops like him too. That’s why I’ve said BLM and am for police reform. Because people shouldn’t have to fear the police. Nor should police that harass people get away with it, especially so easily.

he didn’t care at all about his background. he’s unloading at a mcdonald’s that he knows is open and then into a parking lot that who knows where his rounds could have ended up.

[@LincolnAintLinkin]

This was insane! This doesn't even look like corrupt cop behavior. This officer didn't announce himself or anything. What the hell? This is actually attempted murder.

[@syjiang]

Especially when he fired that second burst after he moved away. The car was static in front of him and no threat. At that point him firing is unlawful use of force and attempted murder of the driver and passenger.

Here in Norway becoming a cop is a university bachelor degree. First you need 13 years of school, then you have to wait until you are 20, then 1 year in school, 1 year in the field with supervision and then 1 year at school again. And even after all that, you don't get to wear a gun unless there is a serious terrorist threat to the country. If it's not, the gun is locked up in their car or they need to be allowed by someone higher up.

[@denasewell]

Great suit! You have such impeccable taste that is classic and masculine!

Some people are just itching to shoot a gun. Also when he says repeatedly 'shots fired, shots fired' He gives the impression that the guy is shooting at him not that He is shooting at someone.

True, but if someone completed ANY degree it does show that person at the minimum can complete and meet deadlines, work in teams with different types people usually not by your own choosing, and also generally they are at least rounded and grounded in their community.

This "so called cop" should NEVER be allowed to work as a cop anywhere or anytime EVER again.

This man should be flagged regarding this incident and never be allowed to be one ... EVER!!

[@mimimonster]

Having been married to a cop, I promise you, this guy barely passed his psych eval and I PROMISE, this guy was on the department’s radar as being a loose canon. ALL the officers from my spouse’s training class that were loose canons all ended up doing something to be fired and some have even ended up in federal prison and everyone else in the class knew they were dangerous and SO DID THE DEPARTMENT. They need to pay these guys more and end up with a better pool of people to choose from. Someone who did this should’ve been weeded out and if they couldn’t do that, they’re not offering enough for quality individuals.

[@nhappynerd]

Can we also talk about the fact that the officer was running after the vehicle and firing - which means those bullets could have been going anywhere.

[@tutinn_]

I liked when you were explaining how an officer could’ve just went to their house/furthered the investigation.. that’s their job. To investigate. Given the situation, had he let him run off, if he even would’ve, a day or two of REAL police work and I can almost guarantee he would’ve been able to find everything he needed to locate and arrest this man. Sad situation when people don’t take 5 seconds out of a minute, that’s all you need is 5 seconds to think quickly and then make a decision. In some situations, sure you’ve only got .00000001 second and there is a threat but damn even he could’ve called for back up if he is that afraid of the public. Which not saying he should be, but he should be because the public at the end of the day has the say. The citizens could rise up and remove any one that we agree on from any office and a lot of officials have created this US Vs THEM situation in a lot of states. It’s wack.
