stop then execute = fucked up
You're missing the bigger picture. He wouldn't have been shot in the head 5 times while being restrained if he didn't RUN to begin with oOo:

And the whole mugging thing is just a really bad ironic mishap. All you badasses can say what you want, but if someone pulls a gun on me (no matter what they are wearing) I'm sure as hell not going to run away.

one shot in the head is going to put his lights out, even if he was restraining. I really doubt he was restraining through the first 2-3 shots

He was running from guys dressed in regular clothing, not police in uniform.

Vance, after they rob you, then they ask you to kneel down and bow your head. Are you going to cooperate then?

[quote="Short Hand":0056b]The police acted improperly..period. Stop defending them. Period. Poiseidon, you are just in shock after the first bombing. BUT you have to get your fears out of the way when you do YOUR FUCKING JOB as a police officer. You have to be able to seperate your paranoid self and the cool headed logical police officer that you ARE !. This act was shameful. Yet you all let your paranoid selves take control and you support these rash actions...... 7 times in the head and 1 time in the shoulder is not policing....The my freinds is an execution and victory for ones own over zealous/fearful self.[/quote:0056b]

1) STFU!

2) Im not in shock, I didnt have an relatives in the london bombings, this has practically nothing to do with me - apart from i live in the same country.

3) "Yet you all let your paranoid selves take control and you support these rash actions...... "
Did you actually read my posts?? I said in earlier posts that I agreed that the amount of shots fired was excessive and shouldnt have happened!

4) My posts are directed towards arguing that these police 'should' have shot the guy, innocent or not based on the days events.

5) If you want to argue with someone - get some fucking facts and give me a fucking reason as to why they shouldnt have shot they guy

6) Yes im defending my police force... Yes they made a mistake by shooting the wrong guy (several times)... but they caught the bombers in LESS THAN A MONTH!! They did a fucking good job to manage to do that!

I still don't like the fact that innocent lives are a justified consequence of catching bombers...why not just murder everyone...then you can guarentee you caught and killed em.

At this point I know they're not cops, any simpleton can realize this. I don't know what I do, and nobody here can say either, until they are in that situation.
