What are you waiting for?
SPOILER ALERT - POLICE RANT
why do you shoot someone 16 times in less than 6 seconds. apparently because 15 just isnt enough.
seriously, i am not sure whether it would be better or worse if his gun held more or less bullets. you keep pulling the trigger until the "click" because the guy who is WALKING AWAY makes you feel threatened. maybe we need single shot police guns. maybe we should go english and take guns away from beat cops.
seriously. he is the only cop who drew his weapon, none of the other officers are taking any kind of defensive posture. but this one guy feels so threatened by a man walking away from him that he has to shoot him 16 times. i think this guy took zombieland rule #2 a bit too far.
full disclosure. the guy walking is big problem waiting to happen. he is carrying a knife (4 inch blade) and had just slashed some police cruiser tires. but maybe that is why he had to die. tires are expensive you know.
now, a guy overreacting is one thing. but then you have the police union that is incapable of admitting that maybe one of its officers is a total screwloose. so they endorse his actions, kindof. they provide an attorney, do a crowdfunding for him, after all he is just misunderstood. sure.
"They stopped short of defending Van Dyke’s actions - which were caught in a graphic video made public this week - but did say it was important to place them in the context of a racially divided city beset by violence."
i guess that those charged with "to protect and serve" bear no responsibility for the racially divided city.
