‘Sir, why did you shoot me?’ - Page 4

The victim presented absolutely no threat that would justify the use of lethal force. At best, the officer is incompetent, a coward, and unfit for duty. At worst, he's a trigger happy psycho who just wanted to shoot something. Regardless of intentions however, he committed a crime by firing his weapon and he should be held accountable.

Heard reports victim had started casting ice comet and cop was trying to interrupt. Since duck casting is still a thing on red he could have stood up at any second and finished the spell. Please nerf duck casting.

Well now that's not right, he could be horribly inept as I pointed out. Of course I don't have an unfavorable view of police though, most of my interactions have been fairly benign even if most I have encountered were assholes. Then again, I was violating the law, so that is to be expected I suppose. /shrugs.

from the article

Quote:

Cuevas stated the officer fired his weapon three times after Kinsey’s patient was unable to comply with police orders, hitting Kinsey once in the leg.

Based on what we know, I agree with all of this except the nasty name calling if he made a mistake and of course the last assertion, due to simple ignorance (on my part). What law has he violated as an officer?

Well now that sounds like Kinsey was just caught in crossfire as the police were trying to put down the crazy. I was just going off your excerpt which made it sound like they shot 3 times at Kinsey. I'll go read the article ^^

Laws... hmm excessive use of force? Shooting a person without cause?

He was obviously a hostile ISIS assailant.

Following an investigation, the guy can be charged by a DA with whatever the DA sees fit.

At the very least, he should be charged with assault with a deadly weapon, vigorously prosecuted, and sentenced to real time.

If it was a "mistake" as you claim, I imagine that the charge will be criminal negligence.

I haven't claimed anything yet. Keeping an open mind until all the facts are in ^^
