Video captures Michigan man's shooting by police

Shot at, or hit?

If they hit him 40 times, I'd reckon about 160 shots were fired, if I know typical cop marksmanship.

What was the alleged cause?

Lippin' off with a knife in his hand according to "The-News"...

In your words; Contempt of cop.

Witnesses say 46 shots were fired from about 4 cops. Forty hit the man. He was angry and wielding a knife and a policewoman is heard screaming out at him to drop his knife. They also had a police dog there.

They did it because they can. He had a knife and was agitated, it was still state sanctioned murder. There were six of them and shooting wasn't their only option. Just the one they chose.............murder.

[Anti Federalist]

Poor bastard brought a knife to a gun fight, eh?

Must have been close range.

Why are they issued tasers, again?

But of course, Mundane.

Who are you to question our officer's safety?

[alucard13mmfmj]

they taser little girls and grandma... how come they didn't taser that guy or use beanbag/paintball gun?

seems the one time non-lethal force would be appropriate, they don't use it?

but... that dude made a mistake of walking towards officers. 4 officers/46 shots = 11-12 shots each. depending on which gun they used, an officer or two may have emptied their magazine on the guy.

Tazers are for non-lethal compliance. Meaning the subject in question has no lethal weapons. Like a little girl or a grandma. If the subject has a lethal weapon it will end in gunfire. Circular Force Continuum and all that.

Tasers, or they could have let the dog go long enough to occupy him and subdue him. But the mans life wasn't importent enough to risk the attack dog.

If he killed the dog with the knife he would then be up on charges of killing an officer in the line of duty. :rolleyes:

True, but he would be alive to face them. The dog was too important to risk.

Firing squad

[aGameOfThrones]

I can't defend the actions of the cops from what I saw in the video, can anyone else give it a shot?

[Origanalist]

Nope, firing squad describes it just fine. They became judge, jury, and executioner. Why do we need courts? Lets just let the police meet out justice however they see fit to.

hmmm...kinda surprised drone strikes aren't used now. Officer safety and all that. Just firing your gun can hurt you.

They just got approval to fly them,, they need to ramp up production.
Give them a little time,, it's coming.

[jkr]

when will we all acknowledge we are at, and HAVE BEEN at war with ourselves- for DECADES???

Yup.

First, "it's to monitor the border".

Then, "it's for surveillance of criminals".

Then, "it's for surveillance to prevent crime".

Then, once fully acclimated to the idea that you are under 24/7 drone surveillance, it will be, "we'll arm them for officer safety".

I reckon within five years you'll see the first armed drone strike on US citizens on US soil.

[phill4paul]

That is not a bet I would counter.

[Anti Federalist]

Never.

Too many people here, who, if anybody, should know better, will not acknowledge that simple fact: that the government has declared war on us, and has, in fact, been on war footing against us for at least the past 20 years.

[Origanalist]

Yup.

You think it will take that long? I imagine they will "find" justification before that.

[dillo]

is it illegal to hold a knife?

[Anti Federalist]

That is not a bet I would counter.

Neither would I.

Betting against that would be like betting against Man O' War and Secretariat, both, at the track.

[Anti Federalist]

You think it will take that long? I imagine they will "find" justification before that.

I think you will see "less lethal" armed drone attacks before that, CS gas, capsicum spray, bean bags or rubber bullets.

I think it will be a few years more, before they get up the nerve to smoke a bunch of us mundanes with a missile strike or automatic weapons fire from a drone.

Unless of course, a new "terror" attack happens.

Let them pull a false flag that kills 30,000 people this time around instead of 3,000, and all bets are off.

[pcosmar]

Any bet on Drones over Tampa?

We'll see.

[Origanalist]

Any bet on Drones over Tampa?

We'll see.

I would be more surprised if there weren't any.

[aGameOfThrones]

We'll see.

Yeah, about 4k will be on-site during the RNC.

[Anti Federalist]

Any bet on Drones over Tampa?

We'll see.

Count on it.

That place will have it's own satellite just for the event.

[mad cow]

I can't get the vid to work for some reason but some in the comments section are saying that it is a plastic knife from a convenience store he is holding.
Can anyone who can see the video tell anything about the knife?

The Active Denial System (the millimeter wave skin burner for crowd control) is already being retrofitted for airborne use. Hell, it 's already used in prisons. The logical conlusion is a torture booth (remember the Mirror, Mirror episode of Star Trek) that leaves no lasting effects.

Anyway, see the big 100 GHz, 1MW Klystron tube on the cover of this book, that's what it's being developed for, airborne ADS.

[LibertyEagle]

That CNN video shows it better. They kept shooting tons of bullets after the guy had already fallen to the ground. Man, oh, man.


She questioned why none of the cameras in the police cars at the scene recorded the shooting -- "none of them work."

Amazing, indeed. It was a good thing a citizen took the video, or no telling what the story would have been.

Very valid points, yes, I could see this deployed against us very easily.

Cut to ribbons.

I can't watch any videos, any clue as to what type or size of knife?

(Not that it's really relevant)

[tangent4ronpaul]

These cops were obviously decedents of the posse members that got Bonnie and Clyde.

Mystery solved! :)

Gee, I hope you were just being facetious.

[Anti Federalist]

Gee, I hope you were just being facetious.

No, he was being bluntly truthful.

[youngbuck]

You hear the main barrage of fire, he was probably at least 10, probably closer to 20 something times. The main barrage ends, and you hear at least one dumbass keep shooting him as he's dead on the ground.

If you or I did that (contuing to shoot him when he's on the ground, and obviously posing no threat), we'd almost certainly be charged with murder.

Pigs.

[heavenlyboy34]

No, he was being bluntly truthful.
This^^

[jonhowe]

I can't imagine how they're going to get away with this one.

But they will. Every one of them should be in jail, but none will go.

[PaulConventionWV]

Actually, they said they fired at him 46 times and hit him 40, making their marksmanship well above 80%. I was very surprised, too.

[PaulConventionWV]

No, the image isn't that good.

Don't worry. I'm sure they will let us know if the knife was plastic when they finish their "investigation".

[heavenlyboy34]

Don't worry. I'm sure they will let us know if the knife was plastic when they finish their "investigation".
Having been "cut" with a plastic knife quite a few times, I can assure you that they're veeeeery dangerous. /sarc

[Travlyr]

Don't bring a knife to a gunfight.

[Origanalist]

Actually, they said they fired at him 46 times and hit him 40, making their marksmanship well above 80%. I was very surprised, too.

At that range my little sister who doesn't shoot could have hit him. Plus they all already had their guns trained on him.
