Watch this video, it helps focus in on the Officer's reactions after he shoots the young man:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltqpP...eature=related This was an accident. The Officer meant to Tazer him, lost in the emotion of the moment he pulled the wrong police tool. Seriously Last edited by Mike : 01-09-2009 at 12:24 AM.

I can see using a tazer if the dude on the ground was resisting .. or if there wasn't 3 cops on top of a defenseless guy. It looked like a public execution to me...and I swear I could hear the guy on the ground saying "Don't shoot! IC loves OU in the big one.., I got a daughter.., Bradford can bail you out."

Extremely poor reasoning And, I have to backtrack on my thinking it was an accidental shooting. If he was on the ground, handcuffed, why Tazer him? Because he was dissin' the cop's mama? Last edited by Mike : 01-09-2009 at 07:46 AM.

I'm not looking at the video for the same reason most are looking at it. Most are looking at this in order to see what should be done to discipline the cop. I'm looking at it to see how this could have been avoided. I doubt the cop wanted to kill someone right in front everybody. So, I am gunna assume it's the biggest mistake of his life. What I do know is the easiest way it could have been avoided is if that crowd wasn't harassing that group of cops. Then, there would have been more help controlling this guy. How many cops are even looking at the suspect when he gets shot? Anybody besides the shooter? I think the cop helping him has his head turned towards the crowd. Many accidents have somebody doing something very wrong, and another person doing something that person wasn't counting on them doing. All I am saying is that crowd acted as a catalyst in this situation. It's his responsibility, but if they really care about this not happening again, then they won't do this mob harassment stuff. There is a way to act, and this wasn't the way. There are cameras. It's not up to them to try to stop cops from doing something. Make a formal complaint. Tape it on your cell. They got the exact opposite result of what they wanted. They made the result much worse for the people they wanted to be left alone. He'd be out amongst them today if they wouldn't have acted that way.

I see what you're saying, Scuds
At first when hearing about this shooting and video, I expected to see that the young man had exacerbated his own bad situation of having the cops remove he and friends from a subway, by being an ass. I imagine he must have been saying something that did get a reaction. However, if you're a government employee with a gun and handcuffs and have all your buddies blocking the crowd away from you, you're not supposed to be so thin skinned that you react like you're either an angry little boy or a maniac

Probably wouldn't of taken place at all if they weren't so loud harassing the cops like that. Of course it's a tragedy, but they didn't help the situation at all. Not an excuse of any kind, but there are a lot of reasons mistakes happen. I think all they could hear were idiots acting up, and that didn't help.
