Where's the surprise? Cops are animals. If you engage in a car chase with them, they get juiced up with adrenaline, and once they finally catch you, you're liable to get the Rodney King treatment, or shot on the spot.

Well, here's a tip: Dont' engage a goddamned car chase with them.

Not sticking up for this asshole in the video in any way, but don't sit there and lump all cops in with him. If you'd rather not take a chance of getting shot, don't break the fucking law. Incredible.

People love to generalize, many forget that the bad actions of others don't define everyone.

Before rabid angry people pounce on me, I'm well aware there are many asshole cops like the guy in this video. And frankly, that cop should have been in jail on a much higher sentence, but that's the court system for you. Many times it works for the criminal rather than the victim. However, there are a few good cops who are just trying to do their jobs. Too bad news media outlets never report on the good deeds, only the ones of people getting shot.

So, mr. know-it-all, what is your advice to all the innocent people getting shot by police? "Don't be there in the first place"?

Obviously, this shooting was in no way justified. However, the drunk driver isn't exactly someone I would call "innocent". Since it's actual innocent people who end up paying for the mistakes of people driving while drunk or distracted.

Never said innocen t people don't get shot by the police. I said you fucking asshole lump all cops together. The other piece of shit was whining about douchebag leading cops on chases "they get shot on the spot" which isn't fucking true in any shape or form.

It's human nature to become increasingly irrational in an intense pursuit. This is in part why some locales ban police pursuits.

Involuntary Manslaughter; 180 days. Claimed “accidental discharge.” https://www.redding.com/story/news/local/2016/12/09/paradise-cop-shot-motorist-jail/95211754/

Yeah bullshit. That was straight up murder.

That's what happens when the same institution who's member is accused of a crime is running the court. It's like if a google employee was accused of a crime and the court was run by google. Absolute insanity.

That's so ridiculous. Besides the double shot that's already been mentioned, everyone who's ever handled a firearm professionally knows you don't put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot. "Accidental discharge" isn't possible.

[–]thegreatmighty 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Accidental discharge? That doesn't make sense when he fired twice. What a load of crap.

I can see it happening with a glock; bad discipline finger on the trigger when drawing/aiming then a panic pull when the shit went off

WTF. He sideswiped some car earlier so the cops are okay with execution?

He didn't die. He was paralyzed.

Loving all the idiots moaning about the police officer, you're on the wrong site morons. This isn't a place to vent your anger about cops, it's a place to watch videos of people getting killed.

what a fuckin psycho

[–]minimoose159 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

these were not accidental

[–]KouniBouBou 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Two "accidental" discharges, on a semi-automatic pistol? Yeah, definitely "accidental".
