Unarmed South Florida man with hands up shot by police while calming autistic patient

Not a lot of hoopla from BLM going on about this unarmed black person getting shot.....Why? My thoughts are probably because it was a Hispanic police officer that shot him...


Edit: and LOL the officer was a member of SWAT... wow that guy needs to resign.

 

Got it. Seemed weird to me. Being selective on the protesting. But I guess with as much black on black crime in Chicago for example, they have to be kinda picky.

 

Fucking autistic people. Them fuckers and people with other mental illnesses are taking away our excuses.

Like, don't drive with your taillights out and cops won't kill you.

Or don't sell loose cigarettes and be fat and you won't die.

Now there isn't any rule to follow. Hands up? Bang
Unarmed? Bang

I wouldn't expect anything from people who are trained to shoot dogs just for shits and grins, but I didn't think I could have less respect for cops than I already did. Between that moronic woman cop getting that crazy little guy shot in the face and this.....jeeeez.

 

I am pretty positive its A) their training, and B) the people doing it as a job get so fucking edgy after dealing with shit bags day in and day out that any normal person would have quit.

No excuses for the shit policing here and I really think they need to start reforming their training. It's just hard when you have places like Chicago and DC poppin' off with gun crime constantly.

If you can't hear the person on the ground like the cop said, then how the fuck do you think they can hear you? sofa king dumb.

 

If I were a police officer, I'd be so irrate at a cop that would do something like this, especially at this juncture. Oh man....there wasn't even a struggle going on here, just a guy laying on the ground with his hands up and they shot him??? They should shoot that cop in the leg.

 

Even though he wasn't killed, this is the most clear cut case of the police being waaaay out of line that we've seen in awhile. This shooting is outrageous beyond belief. The officer that did this should go to prison really.

 

my thoughts exactly. im very pro police but somethings are just inexcusable. i've sided with cops on most of these recent issues but this just isnt one of them. someone needs to be fired.

the conspiracy theorist in me has me thinking mind control or psyop shit. i just dont want to believe these cops are this poorly trained.

 

When I was with our local Explorer post (1997-2004), the Vancouver Police Department did Rapid Deployment Training about every 3 months or so. They would use Schools on the weekend, as well as the Fort Vancouver Barracks. These were regular beat cops; the Clark County Regional SWAT Team had their own thing going on elsewhere, IIRC.

And range training, IIRC, was required every 6 months. I knew an Officer with the Traffic Division, who became a mentor of mine who I still speak with occasionally by email, who had some sort of training every month, whether it be range time, Motorcycle Pursuit Tactics (being close to PIR has its advantages), or classroom time at the local training facility. I'm not sure if his training regimen depended on being a Motorcycle Officer or the fact that he just wanted to keep up on his training.

I'm not sure if, in this case, you can call it a "lack of training". Perhaps more required training per month is what's needed?

I happen to know that this gentleman went through about 3 relationships (including 2 marriages) in the time that I knew him. And I have a feeling the job played a big factor in that. When you work 12+ hours a day, and then are called in at random for special assignments and training, it probably adds up to not having much of a home-life.

 

Trust me i know the hours and training make for a horrible home life. Which is a major factor ill be 30 in december and still single with no kids. That and i cant stand women who have no sense which eliminates 99% of american women.

 

I agree that this could have been handled a LOT better. I'm very thankful the guy just received a non-mortal leg wound rather than a fatal injury.

I worked graveyard for 6 strait years with 1 vacation in all that time. I know what you mean: it makes for a shit home life. I'm 33, still single, and no kids.

Just curious: are you Sworn? I believe someone on this forum works as a Police Officer, but I can't remember whom.....

 

I cant talk about it on a public forum much, especially with how much of an ass hole i am.

I dont think ive had a true vacation ever. Just periods of unemployment where i didnt do anything but fill out apps. Lol

 

lol, I hear ya bro. Thanks for the hard work you've done for our community.

 

So.....take it out of the budget that also supplies their firearms training......which they clearly need?

Explain that one to me.

It doesn't make sense to punish the department for the actions of one dumbass. The likelihood of them needing those firearms to perform their duties and to defend themselves far outweigh the risk that they will either be abused or mishandled by negligence or incompetence.
