but for me, it's more of a moral issue
again, to add on to my reply above
that's not the description we were told through the media
I can't say for sure he had a knife, I couldn't see what was in his hand
I can't say for sure he attacked the police, as he stood in front of the car and shouted
again, I see 2 officers unloading on a man with apparently a 'weapon' in his hand
my moral issue is shoot to kill as the first option
yes, I read your depose replies above
but that seems to be the issue
law enforcement should be held to a higher standard to justify the use of lethal force
as stated in Vex's reply
2 cops unloading on a suspect in broad daylight
c'mon, outside of legalese, it's wrong.
but I do have a couple of legal questions for you, since we're here
base
is the killing of a suspect a violation of his/her right to due process
I'm wondering if the surviving family members have a case that these murdered civilians were denied their right to due process
i.e., officers acting as judge, jury and executioner
I also heard the term PTSD thrown out there
to which I chuckled at first
but then I heard a stat like
there have been over 5000 civilians killed by police since 911
which I believe is >>> military casualties
in addition, returning servicemen/women are ofter hired as law enforcement agents
i.e., you have 2 combatants with psychological problems, but 1 has a gun and the law on his/her side to use it
not really a legal question, just an observation
there was documentary on about returning servicemen/women getting psychological help to deal with PTSD
is there anything being done for these communities IRT the psychological impact
as I'm sure the young man who videotaped this incident is going to suffer from
