Yoshi1176 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) What a shame... The cop was busy thinking about donuts and not paying attention to what he was doing... I always said cops are more crooked than criminals.... Three of my family members are police officers, and are some of the nicest people I know. They would jump in front of a bullet for any one. My cousin works for CSI and my father is in the process of becoming a officer, so no they are not all crooked. And this guy was not crooked either, he shot either because he saw a gun or he thought he did. We are humans we make mistakes.

Jack Of Harts Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Some Police officers are complete idiots. They think a controller is a pistol... The police officer walked away from the crime scene crying, then she claimed he was holding a pistol... If she shot a guy who was about to KILL her, why would she have been crying? She's only trying to protect her image, and she KNOWS she'd probably lose her job if she mistook a video game controller for a gun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was nothing personal to you, your family, or even police in general. Just this one particular individual who happened to over-react to a situation and prematurely end a life, just by jumping to conclusions, and being trigger happy... Before fully assessing the situation and acting rationally. That coupled with my own experience with cops and how they are always rude to me, and those videos of police abusing their power, and that one where the cop shoots that guys dog, for no reason... All just because the dude was filming him.... Again I'm really sorry. I mean no offense to good cops, or to tried and true people who uphold justice and the law. I was simply anger and spoke out of blind rage. I have now shamed myself in the same manner as the police officer in this story, by over-reacting to the situation and not holding my tongue... It was a really bad move on my part... And for that, I apologize. Edited February 27, 2014 by The Stig 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Is not JL Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Incompetence. Failure. But also unavoidable. A stupid person's impulsive action is as unavoidable as a clever person's one, but if the police officer is claiming it was a gun AFTER it happened, instead of accepting that she just took a life, despicable. Can't say all the blame lies on the police though. (I'd raise a point here, but it's an argument for somewhere else.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Composite Armour Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I can understand a person holding a toy gun, but seriously, a wii remote? That's just stupidity. Also, to people saying that he could have shot him in a less lethal place, remember it's a gun. When you shoot, you shoot to kill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caboose The Ace Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hrrm.... Yes this is tragic yes this is horrible and no one deserves this no one deserves to die for nothing and on that note few people really ever need to die... This is a sad turn of events no one really is in the wrong really ... The cop simply thought it was a weapon and acted fast ... She was to fast she didn't see it was a Wii remote and chose the fire her gun ... fire her gun and hit his chest killing him.. No one here is in the wrong really yes police and getting worse and worse these days yes she didn't take a look at the situation properly .. But in her eyes it look like a gun she didn't have time to act logically... So she had to do something yes maybe she could have just pointed the gun at him or shot him in the leg and was a bad turn of events indeed I feel sorry for the victims family and hope they can recover ......

iDyn3x Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Police are trained extensively, using your tax dollars, to perceive danger and they're paid to be shot at....this child asked no such thing, accident or no, this man needs to be punished...severely.

Maestro Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 It should be mandatory for police officers to have psychological checkups every so often. Many have a tendency to stray from "protecting and serving" because they abuse their power and become slaves to their badges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mothy Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 How in the world do you mistake a Wii remote, assuming its the one pictured above, for a handgun? Seriously, there supposed to be Officers of the law, not total idiots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbrabbit Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 This is very disappointing to me, and I hope this case receives more attention from detectives because how can an oval WII remote look like a firearm? Idk. But the main thing is, this boys life was taken with an accident for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
