Well good thing there was a video or we would be doing the Zimmerman thing all over agian... just with a real police officer.

Video was a fortuitous touch. The application of hot lead is a much better alternative than allowing one's head to be pounded on the concrete until brain tissue starts running out the ears.

He had a broken eye socket and fractured checkbone... in 3 0r 4 seconds, hit him about 6 or 7 times.

whoa

Good thing the cop went strait for his gun! He was quick on the draw and quick on the target! Good shot bad hand to hand.

The deceased was celebrating his wedding reception, probably with too much booze. Sucks to be him.

Wow, the end of that video was really intense. It turned bad in a hurry. Good video to realize how quickly it can turn on someone. Glad he was able to get to his sidearm and puts some shots on target to save himself.

Having said that, I think an interesting thought is that my first reaction during the video was that I would have immediately wanted to run and help the cop. The "what if" would be, say you get there to help about the same time the cop pulls his sidearm and you catch a round. I really don't know how to avoid it except to not help the cop, but the flip side risk may have been watching the cop get beaten to death if he couldn't have gotten to his sidearm. I know it may be a one in a million to be in this situation plus getting there at the exact same time as he is pulling his sidearm, but I think it's at least worth consider. Thoughts?

He should have his life ruined regardless.

His groomsmen obviously suck. I never let the groom out of my sight.

That's a BIG "what if." Most people just want to film and yell "that's an aggressive stance," or "what did he do?" As fighting a guy and answering question, while making sure the camera gets your "good" side is the easiest type of multitasking.

As soon as the film taker started talking I knew exactly what kind of person was filming the video and why. They got a real dose of reality after complaining about an "aggressive stance." Well **** yeah that's an aggressive stance! The guy's fighting him!

If the guy hadn't been shot, that film probably would have ended upon youtube under "police brutality."
