Cincinnati campus officer shoots and kills unarmed black male - Devils Advocate - 07-21-2015 Source Quote:A newly engaged dad was fatally shot by a University of Cincinnati cop on Sunday—raising questions about the university force’s authority off campus and adding to the toll of unarmed black men dying in police encounters. RE: Cincinnati campus officer shoots and kills unarmed black male - Beaker - 07-22-2015 Newly engaged...father of 13. RE: Cincinnati campus officer shoots and kills unarmed black male - SunsetBengal - 07-22-2015 couldn't produce a driver's license, just a bottle of alcohol. RE: Cincinnati campus officer shoots and kills unarmed black male - Cure4CF - 07-22-2015 Also arrested 75 times. Still does suck for his family no matter how you feel about him. I do have to say getting pulled over for not having a front license plate is ridiculous. It's happened to me twice and I think it's stupid, but unfortunately it is Ohio law.

Unless his life WAS being threatened that is. RE: Cincinnati campus officer shoots and kills unarmed black male - treee - 07-22-2015 (07-22-2015, 07:10 AM)Beaker Wrote: Newly engaged...father of 13.

But apparently this guy couldn't follow verbal instructions from an officer. Here's an idea for a new T-shirt slogan: "Comply, don't die" RE: Cincinnati campus officer shoots and kills unarmed black male - BmorePat87 - 07-22-2015 I'm going to assume he was drunk. At this point, he poses a danger to all other drivers on the road.

While I'm sure in other contexts we'd disagree about the intricacies of escalation of force despite your compelling arguments, I'm hard pressed to think of any other avenue that could have been taken to prevent the driver from potentially harming pedestrians.

Exactly. Well, unless you go to jail and end up "hanging yourself" after three days. Or you know, try to explain to the officers that YOU were the one that called them and then shoot you eight times. Just comply...don't die. :snark: RE: Cincinnati campus officer shoots and kills unarmed black male - Nately120 - 07-22-2015 (07-22-2015, 07:18 AM)SunsetBengal Wrote: couldn't produce a driver's license, just a bottle of alcohol.

What went on here to cause this, etc. RE: Cincinnati campus officer shoots and kills unarmed black male - Johnny Cupcakes - 07-22-2015 (07-22-2015, 07:10 AM)Beaker Wrote: Newly engaged...father of 13.

RE: Cincinnati campus officer shoots and kills unarmed black male - michaelsean - 07-22-2015 This is not a comment on the situation, but what is a campus cop doing pulling someone over for a missing front license plate? I know they are real police officers, but is that really what they are there for?

Actual investigations would be completely unnecessary. I guess you didn't see the one where the guy was shot eight times? I posted it with the settlement where they said its not an admission of doing anything wrong. Of course you also ignore when I say if the officer's life was being threatened...which would mean an investigation needs to be done. So, really, no surprise coming from you.

As if it makes his life more or less valuable.... I pointed it out because it's the most novel thing about the situation. Sad to say that a police officer shooting and killing a black guy with a less than sterling record isn't as new as it once was. I'm not saying that is right, but that seems to be the way it is.

Horrible. Seriously. I don't want to see any officer injured or killed in the line of duty. The person who did it should be strung up and treated like a pinata. And I mean that with out my heart. Its a dangerous job. Nothing to do with this case.

At this point, he poses a danger to all other drivers on the road. And because of that, I refute the notion of him being "unarmed" Behind the wheel of a 2-ton bullet while intoxicated seems pretty armed to me.... Did he have a gun? No. But was he in a situation where he couldn't have caused harm to those around him? Absolutely not |
