Alaska Darin Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 That doesn't look like an AK-47 to me (more like a Mini-30). Anyone who argues against Tazers needs to see that video. Political correctness is about as responsible as anything else for the result of that encounter. The officer should have plugged the guy when he wouldn't follow his instructions but they've been browbeaten not to use their weapon or "excessive" force and now the guy is dead because he hesitated. THAT should be a story on the evening news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he went back into his truck after all that "shoot me" stuff, he needed a good shooting. -Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound_n_Fury Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 That's a tragic story and I feel terrible for the officer's family...but what kind of training did that guy have? That's about the worst procedural fvck up I can imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
