[slugworth]

Seems he was a bit drunk.

Not a good idea to start taking head shots at a cop.

 

[GPP]

Pretty sure that shooting that guy was warranted.

Or anyone else willing to use deadly force to defend themselves.

Absolutely. Justified all day long.

Hubbard was taken to a hospital as well. His injuries included a broken eye socket, a fractured cheekbone, a cut above his left eye that required two stitches and loss of feeling in the left side of his face.

previously the dude had attacked a cab driver as well according to the article.

would have done the same thing myself if i was in that situation.

Prize obtained

Playing with fire.

Trayvon vs Zimmerman.

 

[jhagberg88]

justified, i thought the guy was going for the cops gun at first, if your slamming your first into my head while im on the ground a double tap will do nicely.

Play stupid games , win stupid prizes. At/ during his wedding reception. Nice!

 

[ColdDayInHell]

Looks like SD to me.

The people filming should shut their mouths.

 

[slugworth]

The cop asked for help right?

Either way looks justified.

No shit first they question the cop, then yell at him to not be so ruff then the guy filming screams like a girl

 

[Hush]

The two ladies filming...disgusting. If they had stepped up, they could have saved a life.

No shit, right?

This was just outside a nightclub. There were any number of people who could/would/should have stepped in to break up the fight before it got to the point where the officer needed to use his gun for righteous self-defense.

The officer was justified when it got to the point it did. It just didn't need to get to that point.

Anyone who bought the groom a shot to 'congratulate' him, should feel like shit, too. Nothing good comes from having a shitfaced groom on his wedding night.

The bride claimed that the groom wasn't even drunk. I thought being drunk was a prerequisite for trying to wrassle a uniformed cop.

Ultimately the cop was justified, dude was destroying his face. But am I the only one who saw what looked like the cop kneeing him in the head just before they started scuffling?!

 

[Claybreaker!]

It sounded like the cop asked for help. Nobody did and he was forced to take a life. I guess taking a video is more important these days.

It's been more important since at least the early 90s.

I wonder if a slightly less sensational headline would have gotten as many views.

I'm still trying to figure out what the firefighter's occupation had to do with anything, unless it was to invoke the whole "hero" nonsense.

Ground ball. Good shoot all day.

the video aspect is valid. If a bystander had jumped in to help the cop and was accidently shot to death then a video is better than a he said she said. Takes a couple of minutes for the police to say that bystander jumped in to help the attacker and try to cover tracks. Either way just like people say "pics or it didn't happen" this applies to interactions with public officials as it gives everything 100% truth or 100% false endings.

Ya just don't know what would happen if you jumped in to help him. You could be killed yourself...

Sadly, attempting to help usually makes matters worse. There is no way I'm getting involved with a cop and potential drunk at that point. No way.

I'm a bit confused as to what is going on. At first, it seems like the cop is okay, and just trying to cuff the guy. Then when that doesn't quite work, he changes tactics and gets into a wrestling/grappling match voluntarily. Why? As it turned out, the other guy was a better grappler than him, and he was now in a position without any other options than deadly force. Is ones ego and extreme desire for absolute immediate control worth risking your and his life for?
