The worst person in all of this is the person who caused all of this, let's not forget

LJ;1445470 wrote:No. Maybe backed off of the guy and waiting for backup. The guy there to save her not shooting her in the face gives her a better chance of living than what she got.

WebFire;1445471 wrote:So he's cleared then?

WebFire;1445472 wrote:There you go assuming again.

LJ;1445475 wrote:What? That the cop not shooting her in the face automatically gives her a better chance of living? Nah, that's not an assumption, that;s just a fact.

No. Maybe backed off of the guy and waiting for backup.

LJ;1445474 wrote:Why would he be brought on criminal charges in the first place? How often a stray bullet from a cops gun killing or injuring someone send a cop to jail?

LJ;1445473 wrote:I'll come right out and take claim to that one. He fired 8 shots while the guy had a hostage in his arm. That's reckless. You don't have to be passive agressive about it.

WebFire;1445478 wrote:Haha. 8 shots does not automatically mean reckless. :rolleyes:

WebFire;1445477 wrote:When they act recklessly and incorrectly, and it kills someone. Which is what you are suggesting.

WebFire;1445476 wrote:Or maybe this part. Nice try though.



YOU DON'T KNOW THE SITUATION!!!!!

I disagree with calling this cop anything other than 'reckless'

iclfan2;1445786 wrote:So the cop is an idiot, and I wouldn't trust any cop with that shot in the first place. They definitely aren't expert marksman, since most are too busy writing traffic citations to practice their shot. Also lost on this, is that how many times can you commit a crime and get paroled?? We need a 3 strike law everywhere for felonies.

Glory Days;1446367 wrote:7 of his 8 shots struck the target. someone who carries a gun and even served in a combat zone like yourself should know that you fire until the threat stops and that one or 2 shots will rarely kill someone, probably i would say almost never kill someone. i knew a cop who put a round in the center of a guy's forehead and the round didnt even penetrate his skull.
