No it's not, you're just conflating two totally separate situations that happened in two totally different states with totally different officers in a totally different context.

Maybe the 3-5 other officers involved in your Chicago scenario didn't shoot because they didn't have a clear shot considering the one officer was in the middle of struggling with the suspect did you think of that, idiot?

Hur hur I know poo poo all but based on FOX NEWS I'm going to say what police training is like nationwide and how we're "just as bad as Sweden" (wtf does that even mean they have a way LOWER CRIME RATE than we do moron) because they didn't immediately somehow pull out a gun in the middle of a struggle and get a good shot off.

If you punch cops in the face and won't stop they may shoot you.

I'm not disagreeing but you keep presenting this as "either you get shot or they let you off totally free" which is moronic as hell.

In what world do you imagine someone beats up two officers on camera and nothing happens to that person? In what world do you imagine someone is able to, in the middle of a physical struggle while the suspect is grabbing at the gun/holster, get the gun out and shoot the person cleanly without further endangering themselves or others around them?

What the gently caress are you talking about???

"She knew that she should shoot this guy," Supt. Eddie Johnson said last week. "But she chose not to because she didn't want her family — or the department — to have to go through the scrutiny the next day."

And this is all based on what some other officer said, not even her own words so this is really just baseless speculation on what was going through her head for gently caress's sake. FOX NEWS REPORTS!

The real issue almost guaranteed is lack of proper training procedures and/or inexperience on the officer's part since she is hella young.

Officers are immune to criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits while carrying out their duties as law enforcement so the only way that happens is if there is clearly some egregious circumstance in which the officer acted well beyond what his or her duties called for. The reason these suspects weren't shot is because there was no clear shot (in the case of the Chicago officer getting thrashed while the other officers tried to help) or the officers involved in the struggle wasn't able to get their gun out safely (Florida).

There are 1.1 million LEOs in this country arresting people every single day but yes this one incident you've cherry picked definitely proves anything about them all nationwide.

You understand you can't pull a gun out of a holster while someone is wrestling on top of you also trying to get your gun right?

It's not safe the odds of getting shot yourself are good and police training teaches this. But yeah in that FL video they totally should have somehow done that anyway otherwise they are letting him off totally scott free.

Frankly given that the CPD have a huge history of being shitheels who kidnap innocent people to put them in torture black sites for kicks I don't believe "top cop" when he says that. Sorry lol.

If that was true then the other 3-5 officers present would have shot him but none of them did either because how do you shoot someone who is actively wrestling with another officer safely? You can't, you don't.


e: Homan Square is the latest scandal if anyone doesn't know what I'm referring to.

quote:

Police “disappeared” more than 7,000 people at an off-the-books interrogation warehouse in Chicago, nearly twice as many detentions as previously disclosed, the Guardian can now reveal.

Homan Square: an interactive portrait of detainees at Chicago's police facility
Internal data shows staggeringly disproportionate arrest records from the city’s off-the-books warehouse. Go inside the numbers – and across Chicago
Read more
From August 2004 to June 2015, nearly 6,000 of those held at the facility were black, which represents more than twice the proportion of the city’s population. But only 68 of those held were allowed access to attorneys or a public notice of their whereabouts, internal police records show.

The new disclosures, the result of an ongoing Guardian transparency lawsuit and investigation, provide the most detailed, full-scale portrait yet of the truth about Homan Square, a secretive facility that Chicago police have described as little more than a low-level narcotics crime outpost where the mayor has said police “follow all the rules”.

To finally answer your question though yeah an officer should shoot someone who is putting them in danger and they feel other options are not sufficient.

I should ask him about it really. You guys wouldn't like him much though. He's a shitlord even worse than me. You'd probably be cheering the CPD once you heard his stances on everything.

I totally trust cops in Chicago. You know, the city were they have illegal black sites where they take guys who "may be in a gang" and hold them without notifying anyone or allowing them to call attorneys. Truly a bastion of what police work should look like.

It's all well and good from behind a computer screen but when you're outnumbered 3:1 by active gang members in a city where gangbangers do drive bys on cops with Ar-15's the law probably gets fuzzy

The law is hella not fuzzy on getting shot at and returning fire. You're posting something completely unrelated to 'we found a guy kidnapped him and literally didn't tell a soul'. Unless you believe the 'ends justify the means' to which I say the results are abysmal.

since we like to gut public services and have cops oppress people it's gotten shittier and shittier to be a cop, both in terms of compensation and how they're viewed in society - can you imagine an Andy Griffith type existing in a modern American setting? - meaning that instead of "people who want to help others and uphold the law," our boys in blue are mostly getting applications from hosed up psychopaths who enjoy tormenting others, the legion of former soldiers with PTSD desperately trying to hold a job after the country used them up and threw them away, or even both at once

but certainly yeah the rot originates at the top, because capitalism's toxic aura pervades our very society, and policing will improve when it is destroyed, inshallah
