Damn ...
I see the cops cover them selfs by saying "Don't move.. Don't move" I really don't think the guy will after being shot 7 times from 3 feet away. Now there cop cars ... the patrol car sounded really crispy revving... I wounder if they have any work done to them.??

faaaaark thats a bit over the top isn't it? out:
At the start the cop says 'he tried to ram me'. No what i saw was you tying to block him and he went around you. At the end it was said they shot him because he tried to run them over. I dont think he was driving in circles trying to run over police, if you run in front of a moving car then thats your stupid fault. I cant see why they couldn't shoot out the tyres instead of killing him and nearly killing an inocent person. : I would have chundied my undies if i was the passenger

What you have seen is too many movies. There are a couple of reasons shooting tyres only works in Hollywood. Firstly, a bullet may not even penetrate the rubber of a big tyre (4WD, truck etc) as there are layers of steel belting and lots of rubber there. Secondly, the hole made is tiny and the tyre closes over it, resulting in a pin hole that will take hours to let the air out of the tyre, and therefore not disabling the vehicle. Thirdly, do you want to be letting bullets go in the direction of the wheel? A steel/alloy rim spinning at hundreds of RPM is going to start flinging bullets all over the place, and you are suggesting you're concerned about other people nearby. I'm wouldn't ever tell someone not to have an opinion, but I would ask politely they have an informed one.

He was directed to stop and he didn't, he had a weapon that could kill or seriously injure and the cop kneeling on the bonnet of the car was insane emptying his magazine into the driver.

if i get a chance im gunna take this guy out then when they attempted to pit him,they rammed him instead FULL TILT into his drivers door(left hand side) the cop jumped onto the bonnet before the guy moved,meaning he placed himself into danger with a felon who wasnt stopped. top it off with the cop emptying his gun into the driver for a traffic violation might be justified in doing so,but dont make it right does it. easier way would be to pit the car properly and surround it with police vehicles and shoot out tyres not shoot point blank a dozen or 4 times.

thats Heavy, Americans are always go a bit over the top. Look at American Cops vs the Force or what ever which is Austrlian.
Every 2nd person who gets pulled over for a random traffic stop gets tazered because there scared cause the policeman has a gun pointed at them so they take to long to get out of the car. While in Australia a guy gets pulled over and they pretty much have a chat and maybe get arrested if there have actually done something wrong.

Actually,if things are kept in context, when the cop said
"I am going to take him out" he was referring to the PIT maneuver. You have to know how hard the liberal media comes down on cops here. The cop knew he was on video, so there was no way he meant anything else. Also, if you go at a cop with a car, it's considered a deadly weapon. The cop was right to empty the clip into the a-hole. The thing that bugs me, you just SAW the guy do all this stuff, you have it on video, yet they refer to him as a "suspect". Hey, I don't suspect him of anything. He's freaking guilty, not "suspected". I just SAW IT. That cop just saved the taxpayers a lot of dough from a trial, and feeding the scumbag for many years. Go after a cop? Hope he rots in hell.

1) traffic offense doesnt require deadly force does it? 2)ramming or attempting to run over officers? where? all i saw was the guy U turn and the cop thinking about a PIT on him,as for the cop etc he jumped onto the car,the car was pitted for all of 3 seconds,then that cop yelled his demands and opened fire,does that require more then 1,2 bullets i dont think so,in america i can see your point as your bought up to believe that everyones a POS and that your god given rights are to shoot to kill if your in harms way,me personally believe that reasonable force could be used but not deadly. cops right in doing his job,but doesnt mean his right for killing a bloke over a petty traffic offense(thats all it was till they found the rest) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcDti...elated&search= mate look at how this perth cop got hit (hit and dragged,unlike the cop whom jumped onto the bonnet of a car)and still managed to shoot to stop the driver yet didnt empty his gun to do so. thats the difference between us and you. |

That is felony evasion, not just a "routine" traffic stop. The driver made the choice to run. The driver also made the choice to drive the car toward the officer when he was on the hood. That sort of thing simply cannot be tolerated. When a cop tells you to stop, you stop. What if the cop didn't shoot? Then what? The cop comes off the car and gets run over. The the cop was stupid for not firing. You might say the cop shouldn't have gone on the hood (bonnet), but once again, he ran, drove through town putting many others in danger, was old to stop, didn't stop, and paid the price. You also notice that care WAS taken to NOT shoot the passenger. The cop saw a passenger in there and positioned himself so there was little chance of the passenger getting hit. As far as how many shots he fired,, the guy kept moving. He paid the price for his own stupidity and recklessness.

Since when is driving a stolen motor vehicle a minor traffic offense? Police generally know when theres more to a 'minor traffic offense'.
When he showed obvious disregard for the public's and police's safety he needed to be neutralised. And when he was quite willing to put police officer's lives at risk by trying to drive over them while being apprehended then further action need to be taken. The police officer on the bonnet was more than likely going to be run over. Police arnt trained to put 'one or two' bullets into someone as they know its not enough to stop them.

Basically, the only people that are afraid of the police,
are the ones that should be.

I'm with birdman here, their rules of engagement is, if they think there life is in danger or a fellow officers they are to "SHOOT TO KILL". And this is not "only in america".

I suppose he should have screamed like a little girl, or lit some candles and chanted for the guy to stop. As soon as he decided to be a cop, he put his life in danger from idiots like the driver in this case. That is his job.

Geez, another cop bashing thread, a day barely goes by when one comes up and all these couch potatoes judge something they have no F clue about. How many people who have posted here have actually been involved in a pursuit, have dealt with violent offenders whilst trying to arrest them? And lastly it is a whole different world in the US of A. Where 10 years old carry handguns to school, completely different from Australia.
I am thankful some of the posters have some common sense though _2: I must say, no way in hell would I be jumping on a vehicle like that!!

and dont preach to me that i dont know what they go through,i talk to enough police and correctional officers to know exactly what they go through on a daily basis,i didnt say that the shoot to protect wasnt justified,but killing the bloke well most agree it was excessive. protect yourself YES kill because you decided to jump on a car that wasnt stopped properly NO after many threads on the subject most agree the force used, wasnt needed. didnt think the internet required me or anyone else to share your point of views yet,your ready and able to tell us we dont know F all about anything,intelligent post mate,im off to do some arm chair research : |

The only reason the police in the Brisbane case didnt fire more becuase he didnt have the chance, the vehicle took off (and ended up crashing into a building because the driver received fatal wounds) Police are not trained to just fire 'one or two' rounds, they keep firing until the threat is neutralised. One or two rounds is known not to be enough to effectively take down a threat, especially a moving one. Quote:

1) man jumps onto a car then shoots 2)man drives at police on the ground and from a distance and gets shot yep they are 100% the same empty gun Vs 2 shots and i bet the police in perth shot well before getting hit,and mate police are trained to use deadly force,it doesnt say you have to kill them to neutrilise them does it? nuff said,keep qouting me,out of various threads 95% of ppl here and in american forums agree that the amount of force used wasnt needed or warranted. your the minority of the 5% who see it differently. : |
