Video: Kansas City policeman shoots attacker on top and punching

Taser doesn't work that well when you are that close, the probes won't have time to spread.

Right, I get that. But could he not disengage, back away, and deploy the taser ?

Monday morning quarterbacking,​I know. Just exploring options.

This is one reason (the bystander's) why Indiana's "right to resist" is very disturbing.

And you would have been he one standing there laughing at the officer encouraging the dirt bag to attack him.

Nope. Actually I would have been helping him from the get go if I were close enough.

Yeah, helping the dirt bag...I know.

 

[nakinate]

Yeah, helping the dirt bag...I know.

Personal problem with BK? Awkward...

He has a personal problem with every non-cop on this site. Honestly, I don't know why he's even here.

Oh well if that's the case...I'd just point and laugh during the whole ordeal. Who needs cops? They just keep us down with their jack boots! apply purple as needed to avoid butthurt.

Not just BK. he goes off on that cop hater at random. Same ol same ol.

 

[Bunnykid68]

Yeah, helping the dirt bag...I know.

Believe what you will. No skin off my back.

Now if the cop was literally beating the perp to death, yeah, I might at that point attack the officer.

I met BK a couple of weeks ago. Very nice guy who did me a solid. He certainly strikes me as the kind of guy who would have helped the officer if he could have (as would I). My brother-in-law is LEO so I'd be more inclined to have offered any assistance I could have.

Maybe. Maybe he thought the guy had given up. Maybe he was already gassed from the earlier struggle. Maybe he was very cognizant of Betty and Bill Brightstar videotaping him and was already worried about YouTube comments about police brutality. . We like to think it doesn't affect how we do our jobs, but it does, and as that clip shows sometimes too little force up front leads to more force later on.

Nobunny believes everything BK says, not even BK. I've seen him poke fun and ask questions out of desire to learn, I've never seen him be anti-LE.

I am anti LEO, you just haven't seen some of it. I try to be as fair as possible though. I am not anti individual LEO.

 

[jbombelli]

Some people just aren't bright enough to tell the difference between anti-cop and anti-jackass.

 

[jbombelli]

apparently some of us also aren't bright enough to hit "edit" instead of "reply with quote."

lol.

 

[Indy 1911]

Absolutely correct

 

[j706]

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

I was thinking the same. And what kind of person walks up to a cop involved in a struggle and asks "what did he do" or talk smack about a stance the officer had? Like it is any of their business or concern. Probably dues paying members of their local Cop Watch. I would have been asking what he needed or what he wanted me to do for him. As those of us that work with the general public well know....some people are down right impossible to figure out. BTW the folks taking the video sounded like they were not feeling any pain.
