[BOUNCER]

Justified or not?...

[Teabagger]

yep...you betcha.

[SVTMuscle*]

Wow, I dont know about the cop shooting the dude in the head like that! He could of shot him in the hand or something.... but... if the cop did not shoot him, the guy would of shot the cop, so it was defense and it was justifiable, people need to stop looking at the cops as if they shouldnt use force, they cops need to be the ones in control.

[Puffader]

Cops are trained to shoot to kill. PERIOD...Justified to me. He should have shot him sooner. don't fight with cops unless you want to get hurt or die..

[SVTMuscle*]

Obviously if the guy didnt have a gun, he could of just tasered him. but, the oppurtunity for the guy to kill the cop was there, so...he chose to take a routine traffic stop into a gun fight with a cop, he deserved to die.

[oldman]

The guy got what he deserved. If he had the chance he would have killed the cop.. That sucks that a cop putting his life on the line is now being questioned..


~Old

[Puffader]

And don't forget the cop has to deal with killing a man at point blank range for the rest of his life. Nobody won but the cop got to live another day...

[anaBROLIC]

absolutely, your safetly comes first. the other dude fired at his head and just missed!

[SPIKE]

A lawsuit!?!?!!?!?!?!!? That really pisses me off. If that kid had the chance he would have killed the cop. It stated that the kid had a gun and even fired it. Did I hear it wrong?

Quite a few of my friends and family members are cops. The dont get paid $hit and have to deal with things like this.

[GQ-Bouncer]

Absolutley, and props up for the state trooper, good wrestling skills

I'm glad that Mr. Baker is dead

[cfiler]

That's bull... there should be no lawsuit. The cop fired in selfdefence. If he didn't, the kid would have shot at him again.

I hope this gets thrown out of court, and the family gets nothing.

[LAGMuXle]

Justified.

Stupid fvuck deserved it.

[Mighty Joe]

If I was the cop! I would've shot the perp in the head twice!

[Phreak101]

Agreed with all...by living in this country there are implied rules and ideas of police that we are expected to oblige..you attack a cop and attempt to hurt him, you are basically attacking the legal system for which he stands for, and in my mind, that means he has full authority to do what he sees as necessary to defend himself and that system.

I don't think the world will be any worse off without Mr Baker...

[Jimmya73]

the lawsuit pisses me off too, would the cops family get to file a lawsuit against the driver if he DID kill him? i think not. and what an ignorant statement by the father" i dont care what the video shows, my son didnt have to die". so as long as his son is ok, it doesnt matter who has to be killed to ensure that?

[Schwarz]

Hell yeah..I hope that fvcker died a slowly and painfully!!!! Damn fvcking parents filing a law suit...shame they didn't bother to raise there idiot son a little better!!!

[Teabagger]

Lets not forget the trial attorneys in all this...they are a life form that exists at a level lower than whale shit!! btw, cops are not trained to shoot to kill, they are trained to hit "center mass" that is the torso area, the reason for this is that the only reason for a cop to shoot is to stop the perp. The motive is never offically to kill, only to stop. Just conincidence that most vital organs reside in center mass Fvck the kid...he deserved to die!!

[needmorestrength]

And don't forget the cop has to deal with killing a man at point blank range for the rest of his life. Nobody won but the cop got to live another day...

exactly! He'll be thinking about that everyday for the rest of his life!

[Bigen12]

Yes, I think it is justified,

The officer was getting tired, after wresling with the guy for that long, he knew the guy was armed, he made the right choice.

[305GUY]

well i hate to say it but yes it was justified. atleast from what i could see it was.

[BARLOW]

good decision, family is stupid, the end.

[heavyrotation92]

yep, you shoot at me, i'll be damned if im not gonna shoot back.

[GQ-Bouncer]

awesome point teabagger,

I'm glad to see that everyone on AR supports the police. My father is a retired policeman, and i'm glad he's retired, youth are getting increasingly more violent.

[chest6]

Hell ya justified. The dude shot at the cops head, he was trying to kill him. Self defense. That is so fvcking stupid, the only reason that family is filing a lawsuit is cuz their son is dead...even though he deserved it.

[SVTMuscle*]

I hope the father takes it to trial and the judge says

"So you are trying to sue the state, because you raised a boy who had the desire to not only drive drunk, but then when getting asked about by a cop he tries to shoot and kill a police officer?"

[Jimmya73]

I hope the father takes it to trial and the judge says

"So you are trying to sue the state, because you raised a boy who had the desire to not only drive drunk, but then when getting asked about by a cop he tries to shoot and kill a police officer?"

and then requests that the bailiff please bitchslap the plaintiff for blatant ignorange,selfishness and general stupidity.

[chest6]

Either way that dad is getting in court

[SVTMuscle*]

and then requests that the bailiff please bitchslap the plaintiff for blatant ignorange,selfishness and general stupidity.

ok so maybe the sarcasism was a little to high for you there. but, fuk it, the kid had every right to get shot in the head.

[Jimmya73]

no i was in the same thought process as you lol. i just thought my idea would be a welcome addition

[Doc.Sust]

justified

[Red Ketchup]

It was quite justified... clear cut self defence.

If I were that cop I'd counter-sue the kids parents for having raised such a f*cktard kid!

Red

[spyderUSMC]

It's great to see people who aren't shittin' on the police for a change! They go out and do a job that most people don't want to do for far less than they deserve. And damn straight...the kid needed to eat a bullet!

[BARLOW]

now since he tried to shoot the cop that counts as attempted murder right? he deserved wut he got.

[breacherup]

absolutely justified

[thegodfather]

This really shouldn't even be up for debate. He fired his weapon at the officer, and after that, made no attempt to surrender it. He was in an on-going struggle at the time that the officer removed his weapon and fired into the suspects head. It may have been a different story if the kid was about to give up, but he clearly was still struggling to get a better shot on the officer. This world is ****ing amazing, people will find any reason to sue now days and its sickening. Anyone remember the parents of the guy in California who sued after he tried running over a bunch of off-duty cops and they shot him 26 times?

[SnaX]

Thats what happens when you try to kill another man.
If the guy almost shoots the cop in the head, and then tries to shoot him again... the cop has every right to fire back. In the head is what saved the cops life... don't take chances like that trying to wound a man who tried to take your life. Every living animal's default programming is self preservation.

Where is that video where the cop pulls the guy over, and the guy has an AK, and the cop hesitated...? What happened to that cop... didn't he DIE? I think so.

Hearts are broken, yes, but thats the nature of the thing.. there isn't much "beauty" in things like this.
The guy had a gun and fired a shot, expect to be dead.

yep, got shot in the eye.

[Neo]

I'm very impressed with the members here. I think it's great to see people actually appreciate the police for a change and realize the daily risks that they take in an effort to uphold the law. I think it's so juvenile when people constantly complain about the police. It's a job that is thankless and underpaid. Great posts, everyone!!!!

[Alex2]

It is justified. It happened at 1:47 A.M Sunday morning. At that time all Cops and Troopers on high alert because many people drive while they are drunk etc.

[USfighterFC]

good decision, family is stupid, the end.

agree totally
