Quote HistoryQuoted: That's considered under the present standard. Whether someone reasonable would believe the force was necessary. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I'm not arguing legalities, or what a cop can technically get away with after investigating themselves and finding no evidence of wrongdoing. Like I said above, when you gamble without the benefit of even basic first-hand information (such as maybe verifying who you're trying to kill before you start blasting away at a handcuffed and innocent man) then in my perfect world you should face some kind of consequences when the facts don't justify the insert-adjective-here actions you took. That's all. That's considered under the present standard. Whether someone reasonable would believe the force was necessary. I'm talking about the higher standard I wish I could expect out of armed agents of the government. You're not wrong. We're just talking about different concepts. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If not "reckless", what word would you use to describe trying to kill an innocent man who has his hands cuffed behind him? In your police car. Where you put him. After searching him for weapons. And who has said and done nothing threatening whatsoever. Yeah she had no reason to doubt, because she never even saw the guy she was trying to kill lol |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Again, the standard isn't what was objectively true, it's reasonable belief under the circumstances. You need to read the report, because the guy indeed made threats including stealing her car, sending pictures of a suppressed handgun pointed at her car, and wasn't compliant when the cops found him. The deputy screwed the pooch, but her actions were justifiable under the circumstances.

Quote HistoryQuoted: She didn't know her target. She shouldn't have shot. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: There was indeed a reasonable basis for her belief and actions, but not for his. Report https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/214740/IMG_7885-3129158.jpg https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/214740/IMG_7886-3129159.jpg Listen, even that comes back to exactly what I posted: shooting at noises. The difference is that the department's brass seems to think that shooting, mag-dumping really, is a reasonable response to a noise, and apparently you agree. Did you take note that these LE professionals evidently can't proofread well enough to catch "interrupted" where they presumably meant to use "interpreted"? Color me skeptical about their conclusions in general. She didn't know her target. She shouldn't have shot. He said "Over there". No other description for where, or who the shooter was. And at the end of the the day they both opened fire on an unarmed handcuffed person who was also locked inside of a patrol vehicle. Zero justification for that shit. |

This is a square range/hunting rule where nothing else is at stake, and there’s no downside to not taking a shot.

In this case there was only one person in the car, she reasonably believed the person was actively trying to kill another officer, she had a general idea of where in the vehicle the subject likely was, and the vehicle itself would catch most of the rounds and/or there were closed businesses behind the vehicle, there’s nothing wrong with shooting into the car under those circumstances. |

But we are now to believe that because her coworkers are so incompetent a firearm and silencer reasonably got missed and that is considered perfectly reasonable by yourself and other highly trained professional investigative peers? Those straws your team grabbed are not even remotely reasonable and defy belief. So they searched again for the gun that never was. Did they find it? Integrity is painful sometimes.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Let me put it this way: if the subject had in fact managed to hide a gun and small suppressor, then actually shoot the deputy, would you have issues then with her shooting into the vehicle? Not playing the what if game. What the officer believed at the time is the game. Nothing on video with her filming justifies what she did. At the very least it was classic sympathetic fire in a total pure panic. Unacceptable for an officer period. The whole investigation exonerating this pile of shit is simply because the team failed to find the gun that never was on the guy before he was handcuffed. So its perfectly reasonable to believe that he had a gun and silencer. Totally reasonable in section 4 of the nut farm. |

So it's worth double checking just in case. "What the officer believed at the time is the game" Yes, precisely the point I've been making. A deputy she had found to be trustworthy and reliable before told her he had just been shot by the subject they had placed into the patrol car, she knew the subject was the only one in the vehicle, and she could see that the deputy was in a vulnerable position and apparently injured/disabled and in a position where the subject could still shoot him if he was indeed armed, which she had no reason to doubt at that point in time. This is why the sergeant was exonerated for her actions, while the deputy was not. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: There was a video from 20 years ago of a suspect in an interview room pulling out a handgun that wasn't found during the initial search and killing himself. I remember that very well and the discussion on it by many LEOs on this site. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: The suspect is cuffed, presumably behind his back, no glass is broken, no bullet holes in the body of the vehicle, nothing audible on either of the body cams. And the suspect had been searched. I'm not seeing anything that would lead one to a reasonable belief of a deadly threat. I have found plenty of weapons on people that were searched. Field searched isn't always a 100% weapon free. There was a video from 20 years ago of a suspect in an interview room pulling out a handgun that wasn't found during the initial search and killing himself. I remember that very well and the discussion on it by many LEOs on this site. I often wonder if the fixation on these rare events actually gets more cops killed in the long run. You spend all day looking up at the sky afraid you'll be hit by lighting and your extremely likely to fall in a hole and break your neck. How real is the threat of an undetected weapon in a guy handcuffed in the back of a squadcar vs the threat of friendly fire from Mr Roll-and-Shoot? How many officers die from suicide? From speeding? From drinking themselves to death a few years after retirement? If the public as a whole turns against the cops and cops end up with zero good will because they are scared of everything and in the process treat good people like shit is it really the safest thing long term to do? Look at George Floyd. He was held down the way he was for what reason? As a punishment? Because it was too dangerous to society as a whole to have a guy passing fake $20 bills around town? Or because they feared 'if we let him up he might attack us'. How many cops got hurt physically in the civil unrest that followed? How many cops got hurt mentally and went out on PTSD? Did the cops really protect themselves best by refusing to 'fall for' the 'trick' of a guy claiming he can't breath so he can fool the cops into letting up pressure giving him the advantage and allowing him to pull some hidden weapon and defeat all 4? |

I agree but let's put it in a little bit of a more similar light. Let's say you were a CCWer walking through the alley when some thugs jumped out and threatened your life, you pulled your gun but at the sight of it they ran. You are amped up, your lizard brain is still saying 'warning there could be another attack at any second' your senses are in emergency mode straining to hear any sound, scent, or sight of these enemies circling back around, or fresh enemies. And then BANG. I think it's still totally out of line, this guy needs to face charges or reckless endangerment or something but it's not calmly walking down the aisle at walmart totally oblivious to any danger then hear an old lady drop a soup can causing you to mag-dump. |

That is what your are saying on a gunboard with owners of these highly concealable weapons? Really? Do please continue on how your search procedures are so inept that this could have happened. In the old days it was just excusing the inexcusable. Your taking it to a new level, as well as the department that puts these nut bars out on the street with me. The deputy should rightfully be hammered, but with what the sergeant perceived and was told under the circumstances she acted reasonably. Acorn isn't getting hammered, his boss already said he didn't do anything illegal. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I often wonder if the fixation on these rare events actually gets more cops killed in the long run. You spend all day looking up at the sky afraid you'll be hit by lighting and your extremely likely to fall in a hole and break your neck. How real is the threat of an undetected weapon in a guy handcuffed in the back of a squadcar vs the threat of friendly fire from Mr Roll-and-Shoot? How many officers die from suicide? From speeding? From drinking themselves to death a few years after retirement? If the public as a whole turns against the cops and cops end up with zero good will because they are scared of everything and in the process treat good people like shit is it really the safest thing long term to do? Look at George Floyd. He was held down the way he was for what reason? As a punishment? Because it was too dangerous to society as a whole to have a guy passing fake $20 bills around town? Or because they feared 'if we let him up he might attack us'. How many cops got hurt physically in the civil unrest that followed? How many cops got hurt mentally and went out on PTSD? Did the cops really protect themselves best by refusing to 'fall for' the 'trick' of a guy claiming he can't breath so he can fool the cops into letting up pressure giving him the advantage and allowing him to pull some hidden weapon and defeat all 4? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: The suspect is cuffed, presumably behind his back, no glass is broken, no bullet holes in the body of the vehicle, nothing audible on either of the body cams. And the suspect had been searched. I'm not seeing anything that would lead one to a reasonable belief of a deadly threat. I have found plenty of weapons on people that were searched. Field searched isn't always a 100% weapon free. There was a video from 20 years ago of a suspect in an interview room pulling out a handgun that wasn't found during the initial search and killing himself. I remember that very well and the discussion on it by many LEOs on this site. I often wonder if the fixation on these rare events actually gets more cops killed in the long run.

Try bringing up putting an electronic governor tied to lights and siren on cop cars and see how many become unconcerned about officer safety. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I agree but let's put it in a little bit of a more similar light. Let's say you were a CCWer walking through the alley when some thugs jumped out and threatened your life, you pulled your gun but at the sight of it they ran. You are amped up, your lizard brain is still saying 'warning there could be another attack at any second' your senses are in emergency mode straining to hear any sound, scent, or sight of these enemies circling back around, or fresh enemies. And then BANG. I think it's still totally out of line, this guy needs to face charges or reckless endangerment or something but it's not calmly walking down the aisle at walmart totally oblivious to any danger then hear an old lady drop a soup can causing you to mag-dump.

I have four oak trees that produce untold thousands of acorns.
They are on duty 24/7, so watch yourself. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I don't believe you actually read it, because you're making provably false statements about what happened. I'm reading your posts, I just reject your framing and am articulating why your argument rightfully isn't the standard used for these cases. She isn't legally or morally culpable because she acted reasonably given what she perceived at that moment. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: If not "reckless", what word would you use to describe trying to kill an innocent man who has his hands cuffed behind him? In your police car. Where you put him. After searching him for weapons. And who has said and done nothing threatening whatsoever. Yeah she had no reason to doubt, because she never even saw the guy she was trying to kill lol I'm reading your posts, I just reject your framing and am articulating why your argument rightfully isn't the standard used for these cases. She isn't legally or morally culpable because she acted reasonably given what she perceived at that moment. And you clearly didn't read mine because I've said multiple times that you're viewing is as "whats the most can she technically get away with under the current law?" while I'm saying that in my perfect world cops should get eyes on before they try to kill someone. Failing that and if the series of assumptions turns out to be all factually incorrect, then you gotta pay up. Gamble and lose. |

There was the video that went around a few years ago withe guy the offed himself in the interrogation room with the 1911 from his pants. Iirc at the time it was said he had been searched 3 times before that Click To View Spoiler That's the one, murder suspect iirc and nobody managed to find a full size gun on him |

Quote HistoryQuoted: She was reasonable. Shooting into a vehicle can be justified. He was not. Separate issue and why he’s done with law enforcement. I doubt he's done. What are the odds he actually gets any certifications pulled, and won't just pop up shooting at acorns at the next department down the road? |

I’m not reading all seven pages, but let this be a good reminder to you, when the cops pull you over, never stop underneath an oak tree, or a hickory tree, between Labor Day and January 1.

Quote HistoryQuoted: She knew her target, which was an apparent armed suspect concealed behind tinted glass in the rear of the patrol car that her partner told her had just shot him and was still an active threat. That it turned out not to be the facts of the case is separate from what she reasonably knew at the time, given the circumstances. He fucked up tremendously, but she reacted appropriately to the information she had at hand. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: There was indeed a reasonable basis for her belief and actions, but not for his. Report https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/214740/IMG_7885-3129158.jpg https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/214740/IMG_7886-3129159.jpg Listen, even that comes back to exactly what I posted: shooting at noises. The difference is that the department's brass seems to think that shooting, mag-dumping really, is a reasonable response to a noise, and apparently you agree. Did you take note that these LE professionals evidently can't proofread well enough to catch "interrupted" where they presumably meant to use "interpreted"? Color me skeptical about their conclusions in general. She didn't know her target. She shouldn't have shot. Tactically she did well. My concern is when one cop makes a mistake they all go full in and extreme all the damn time.....it's a danger to all. Would your position be different if she killed the guy? How did she determine lethal force was necessary, blindly? |

If the officer skittish gets to shoulder criminal responsibility for every bullet fired by both officers, then I'll accept nothing happening to the female officer. But he departed the department and will likely just show up to another one. So we all know what kind of accountability there is likely to end up being. |
