I just think these officers were trying to stop the vehicle and to them that means stopping the driver.....I think when it shakes out it will show excessive force, but i have been wrong many times before....

I guess shooting into the vehicle that many times was more justified. Maybe you will do a spin on this one just like the war.
And i'm quite aware that cars can go for miles on rims just not very fast or very effective. Like I said they could have also smashed into the vehicle.

Thank you Wayne....I'm not going to judge too fast either, but in my line of work, I've met more cops who think they are above the law and trigger happy. Most of them are young guns who had little education and are roided up. They still think this is the ol' west. Shoot first, ask questions later.....I have many cops that are my friends, but it only takes a few assholes to ruin it for the majority.....

your right TTT...almost none of us know how it is to put our lives on the line everyday to try and keep crime off the streets...I could for sure see how someone who had never shot a gun in the line of duty before could get a little (or a lot in this case) trigger happy...is it justified?...of course not...but it's certainly not unexplainable

That's brilliant....Too bad we can't ask the kid who was going to be married the same day, what he thought about the cop, who had never shot a gun in the line of duty. Who emptied his clip, reloaded it, emptied it again, reloaded it again and then emptied it for the third time on a car that had no gun in it. And then claimed he didn't remember firing his gun. No matter how you slice that, something doesn't add up
And Tony....You're a rather intelligent guy. But to say Monte has no mind of his own on the subject of politics is not very intelligent or factual.Last edited by KazDog; 12-12-2006, 01:22 AM.

Originally posted by BettorsChatWhen reloading he never thought to shoot the tire or find another way to stop the vehicle that is if it needed to be stopped at that point. Shoot reload shoot reload etc.
i think the protocol in NY is to not use deadly force to stop a fleeing vehicle....I think the officers will contend that the vehicle was aiming for them, but in the initial reports it does not appear that way......It also says they never identified themselves as police......So if that is the case, I would be scared shitless and try to get out of there....I see no reason why someone would have the opportunity to reload 2 or 3 times....I realize in the heat of battle you may squeeze of an extra few rounds, but that does not apply here since he had to put a new clip in......This is just me speculating, but the facts are not in yet......(So Monte....i think we agree...not sure though),,,,,
