BLM protests to follow no doubt.

Doesn't look good, but he did try to run an officer over. Possibly a bad shoot, but not nearly in the same league as some others.

Any shoot anymore causes trouble. It makes good cops appear to be gunfighters looking for bounty money.
I wish I could get this one message across to the criminals...... DON'T MESS WITH THE COPS. DON'T BE A CRIMINAL. Be nice and you might not get killed.

I have no comment on the shooting...

But....

They need training in how to alert each other that their camera is recording.

That was a damn dangerous cross fire when the Jag (?) went between the cars and almost ran over the one guy.

Dayim.

Unfortunately the microscope only seems to be getting more powerful when looking at police action shootings. I am all for honest investigations but I honestly beleive the vast majority of incidents are properly investigated and the integrity of most officers is outstanding.I will admit I was shocked the incident with IMPD and the shnook that shot an officer and had the long chase about 2 weeks ago where the police fired @200rnds didn't get as much attention in the media as I expected. Which I am thankful for.

Stolen car and attempted vehicular homicide and the chief of police is crying excessive force?

You bet. That's Rahm's personally installed biatch. He just took the job a few months ago.

CPD just bit off a big, ol' piece of regret.

I would not be surprised, nor would I blame them for it, if one day soon a blue flu happens in a bigger city.

Was listening to the progressive radio channel today when this hit the news. The "talent", Tom Hartman, described the incident and just when I thought he was going to say that an investigation should be allowed to play out before rushing to judgement, he remarked "Every black person knows when they are being chased by police the police will just shoot them so it's logical for them to run." - or something very close to that. He then, although he is Caucasian, managed to work in a few derogatory comments re: his philosophy of "white privilege" which is a standard for him.

I Guess I should have known better but just for a minute I thought a "progressive" ( not liberal ) might speak with a voice of reason rather than inciting devisiveness and racial tension.

That was my first thought after I watched the second video. Then after watching the dash cam video I was amazed that his partner wasn't shot. Heck the second officer put a round into the hood of their car. He came out of the car with his weapon drawn and began firing as he cleared his door and before he came into view of the dash cam. The first officer didn't fire until after nearly being hit, and a few seconds after his partner began firing.

To me it appeared as if the perp was trying to evade and avoid a collision by squeezing through the gap between the CPD car and the parked car. I don't believe either one of the two officers fired the shot that struck the perp in the back. I think that came later after the one officer went over the fence. Did the officer that went over the fence shoot the perp? Don't know.

One thing I do believe is that the other arriving officers were very relieved they didn't fire any rounds.

I'll not second guess the officers. All I know is what I watched on the four videos.

I'm not advocating any shooting. Seems like a simple rules to follow is don't commit a crime, don't confront police and don't run from police.

From watching the videos and reading the story, it would appear the main issue is that you hear 4-5 shots after he ran from the vehicle. The family seems to feel that he wasn't shot while driving but rather after he ran.

Which is kinda a problem. However, there was chatter about him possibly shooting at them, so that may help.

I just wish the police hadn't used a bait car on the guy.

Simeon Adams was also just a little car stealing punk...........

While I can understand where the videos raise some suspicion, state laws can be different and department SOP's vary. So I won't speculate if it was appropriate action or not. However, I will say I am kinda glad I am not a LEO given our current society. But I will also say thank you to those of you who are LEO's.

The main issue IMO, was that this guy was unarmed, and supposedly fleeing when he was shot in the back. I haven't yet seen the state law or SOP that isn't in line with Tennessee v Garner.

This is little more than a message to appease a sect of people that tolerate this behavior and gives criminals a window for more opportunities to expand their enterprising ways.
