Why is it that the officer could not manage a windshield shot? Only a side second row passenger shot to get a kill. Your opine is full of bs just like most police departments.
I care about you brother!! Sayin...
I don't know.
No one was killed.
Opinion. Which it is not. It simply reflects the standing determination of the incident. You are offering an opinion, which qualifies as BS.

There is, many police departments don't hire cops with high IQ scores.

I went through the academy with this guy who could ace any test you placed before him. His IQ had to be high up on the scale. He was the academic leader of the class, however; that said, he was as dumb as a box of rocks. He totally lacked common sense. With all the brain power he exhibited on paper, he totally lacked when dealing with high stress situations. He was the dumbest smart guy I've ever known. I'm not saying this is the case with every person, but it was for him. I would never feel safe responding to a hot call with this guy, regardless of how smart he was on paper.
BTW, he couldn't cut being a cop and didn't even last one year. I think he became an insurance salesman, no lie... :grin
This will be solved when we have Police robots....:rotflmao
I guess it is true. I told my SIL something a few years back...he laughed so hard and liked it so much it is the screen saver on his computer.
Average...Not as smart as you think it is!
Just a little Info though...
100 is AVERAGE for a white .... less for both Black and Hispanic
The Police should be made up of Asians at 112....or Hasidic Jews at 115
Arguments are made that the test is flawed and ethnicly biased.

****. I knew they was smart, but not that smart.

Yeah, I bet the Asians are pizzed and want a re-test! :rotflmao

Interesting thoughts at 3 o'clock in the morning. Is there a code book or ring from a Cracker Back jox, I can consult?
The "official report" was the internal investigation where the state attorney did not find cause to prosecute the officer. There is nothing to support, only report.

He's always been one, he was just operating undercover for a while.
I heard he had a group of rogue mods who if you were banned from FS...they actually went to your house and pepper sprayed you and smashed your computer.....

If cops are only "above average"...what are all those average...and dare I say it...below average people doing?
There can't be that many custodian jobs :shrug What career fields do the slightly below work in?....

First off Gary, even thou retired I still work odd hours, just woke up. 3 am is normal. Just because the SA claimed no issue does not mean there is not one, check your history books, fools been had before.
I can neither confirm nor deny that....
That is where the blame or there lack of should be directed. I would guess the officer, if a good guy, would feel terrible about the outcome. I just dont want to see something like this swept under the carpet, no change in 911 telecommunication, no change in "what if's" and if the cop acted responsible then the state needs to state such.
Ok Ok...but...Don't taze me bro.... :rotflmao

In my experience, if the only no issue to see is represented by a personal injury attorney, there isn't one there.

Not to split hairs....since I do feel this is tragic.....BUT....
Theft...is theft...regardless of if you steal moms car...her TV or $500 out of her dresser. Cops are not to decide charges...he was to apprehend the thief with her vehicle... the STATE ATTORNEY & COURT decides what is and isn't a crime or the seriousness that they wish to attach to that.
The case is a Fete de acompli since it was investigated and no charges will be filed against the officer.....
What the agency does regarding how the call was taken and dispatched ...that is up to the individual agency.
Many things to do.

I could see anyone turning around, seeing a car coming at them and pulling their weapon. I am sure most of us would. But had I known it was a downsyndrome kid, anyone with Good common sense would know to approach in a completely different way. The day will come when one of these kids gets a hold of a gun, it will happen and the police may have no choice but to shoot him. Will they shoot him in the chest 4 times to make sure he can't shoot back, or will they use a sniper to shoot the gun out of his hands ? I think an officer in todays world would say, either way, doesn't matter. An officer 50 years ago who was friends with the whole town would approach it differently.
I think it makes a big difference and can have a big difference in the outcome. A **** person does not learn or is not capable of learning what police are all about, what a gun does, etc. The parents made a big mistake by allowing it to get to that point. I just don't know if the officer overeacted, or, did his job well because we dont know what was passed along.
Every call into 911 cannot be only BLACK OR WHITE.....
That is for sure. Tough spot and lots of hurt feeling... Parents should have done a better job... There had to be a hint of him thinking about taking off at some point...
Really Gary, lying about a shooting is OK in your book. I can see abroad but domestic total ****, we are supposed to be better, why lye?
This type of crap undermines our support of local police, just disgusting.
Just look at the local Seth Adams case, **** was shot by a police officer whom had serious review issues, yet nothing, not a **** thing, he deserves to be in prison. Things are going to change.
