Weapons
the kid was swearing pretty good, but, only in reply to the officers BS, and he was swearing too.
How do you know the kids swears were only in reply to the officers swears? Swearing or strong language from a cop at the end of a chase is two things, overampage and use of force. Sometimes and every event like that is different strong language is all that is needed to make someone obey a command. Sometimes it doesn't make any difference what you use or try nothing works. The kid could have been looking up at the cop with a big grin because he just came back from Iraq and thought he is going to play with the cop who is pointing a gun at him and makes a wiseass playful physical gesture like moving his body agressively only a couple of inches toward the cop scaring the cop and that could be why the cop fired. They are traned quite a bit differently out there than here. They are very agressive in thier self-preservation.
Oh and to the person who said that the cop should have jumped on him if he had a weapon, and try to wrestle it away thats bu%$^&t Steven Seagal movie chit. If the perp/person of interest has a weapon and drops it he is O.K. or if he doesn;t the perp stands a good chance at getting shot.
Those four guys who beat the motorist dont stand a chance they belong in jail and should start packing now.
The deputy who shot the kid deserves a little more checking out before we find him guilty of anything. It doesn't look good for the deputy, but you have to be there to know the whole story. I'd hate to be tried in front of you guys based on what we all saw in a dark nightime video, and that alone without hearing the whole story. Some of you guys should stop somebody who is armed in the middle of the night. And I am not saying that as a slant to anyone or thier opinon. It is an extrordinary situation to be in. A fraction of a second and probably a fraction that goes by so fast in conjunction with a situation going bad quickly always looks bad for the cop initially. And it may turn out to be bad in the end for him. If so off he goes to jail for attempted murder at least.
