what?

I'm confused by your post.

The cop didn't shoot at him?  Then who did?  [/quote]
She says it was the white officer.[/quote]

ahh

ok[/quote]
Ah
Ok
She's not the only one who says so[/quote]

at this point - whatever!

too many conflicting stories

only evidence? a gun with Scott's DNA

Now whether or not he was aiming it is another story.  That's why cops should de-escalate more and shoot to disable if necessary.[/quote]

I would love to be given an example of how police can de-escalate a situation and shoot to disable without A) being mind readers B) putting themselves and bystanders in danger.[/quote]

We've de-escalated in our alternative HS.  Granted, kids had knives and not guns (unless you count a BB gun), but it's possible to talk people down.  If he was high and out of his mind, then no.  But you keep advocating shooting at the guy, which makes me think you're a little twisted.

No, cops aren't mind readers, but de-escalation is a "thing."  You might want to educate yourself before you spout off killing someone again.

I have friends who are cops who would agree with me.  One had to send supports to Ferguson during that last bout of riots.  He agrees that cops should support communities and not be all gun happy.  So yes, I support cops - but those who think rationally.  As one who's worked with troubled kids who can eventually turn into troubled adults, there are others ways of handling some scary behavior.

I haven't kept "advocating shooting at the guy" so not sure why you are accusing me of being a "little twisted". In fact no one in the quoted thread advocated for shooting at the guy. Considering I come from a long line of military and have several LEs in my family I've got a tiny bit of education on the matter. But please correct me here and show me where I spouted off about killing someone.

You didn't say this?

If you come from a long line of military and have LEs in your family, I would think you'd know about de-escalation.  There's a force continuum progression used by both military and LEs.

But I guess I'm preaching to the choir????
