Fine. Here's what I think.
I think that the armed police could easily all wear small cameras so everyone could see exactly how it went down after the event, but they always refuse to do so. I am confused with regards to the reasoning of this but believe it may be because there are times when they do not want people to know what went down.
I think the police officer that went to hospital because 'he was shot', then was discharged from hospital with exactly ZERO injuries, should be punished.
I think the police officer that shot the first police officer's radio after the event should be punished.
I think the 'er, I felt threatened' line has the risk of being used incorrectly by police officers as a 'get out of jail free' card whenever they seriously mess up.
I think it is doubtful that this drug dealer formed the conclusion he could 'beat' 23 machine gun armed officers, with his single gun, when the event went down.
Anyone disagree with any of the above?
THat might just be the dumbest thing I've ever seen posted anywhere.
An officer who got shot, went to hospital but had no injuries was released should be punished?
Are you completely ******* retarded? Go down to a police station ask them to take you to a firing range, put a kevlar vest on and let them shoot you, when you're winded, struggling to breathe and in a lot of short term pain and ask to be taken to a hospital, they'll all laugh at you and call you a ****.
It hurts getting shot, people get minor injuries from being shot all the time with protection on, bullet proof vests stop the bullet going through your skin, they don't stop the impact or the energy being absorbed, and its painful. How much can a paintball hurt through semi thick clothing, then think if it was a metal slug moving MUCH faster.
Its a precaution, you get taken to the hospital, maybe you've broken ribs, maybe you haven't. Punish him, seriously, how completely stupid.
Why don't they wear camera's, because lots of coppers would be, unfairly, put in jail. You shove someone a little to hard, then also trip and cut themselves, lawsuit. Cops all with camera's = cops won't do anything to help anyone ever again.
As for your opinion of the drug dealer and what he thought, unless you're a criminal, wanted, with previous convictions and I assume looking at a lengthy jail term, you don't know how he'd react.
