Quote :

"An officer, responding to reports of a suspicious person, shot and killed an unarmed man who was running around in a metro Atlanta apartment complex naked. The officer fired two shots when the man charged at him, said Cedric Alexander, the public safety director of DeKalb County. But given that the man was not carrying a weapon, the police department immediately turned over the case to the Georgia Bureau of Investigations for an independent probe. "

Given that the man was naked, the cop is going to have a hard time justifying this shooting.

nah, he will just say he was like a demon, coming right at me. I feared for my life...

3/10/2015 7:35:57 AM

that reminds me of this case when a naked white man walking down the street was shot and killed by the cops

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwwH4d3H-Ow

actually, NO.

he was tasered, he fought with the police, tasered again, kept on fighting, broke free from the cops and ran away, and finally subdued by them with the help of a citizen. not a single shot was fired at him.

imagine if that was a black guy....

'MURCA FUCK YEAH

So a man can only be a threat to an officer if he's fully clothed. Ok.

3/10/2015 9:57:32 AM

A cop I spoke to said naked people are far more likely to get shot. They tend to be the ones eating faces and taking PCP.

3/10/2015 9:58:22 AM

You can only say I thought he was armed if he's fully clothed. This dude was nude, he knew he was unarmed. Just another cop out to shoot a brother.

3/10/2015 9:59:15 AM

Not arguing he was armed with a weapon. I am saying that cops have a tendency to believe naked crazy people are dangerous.

3/10/2015 10:00:19 AM

synapse needs to quit being such a goddamned dick.

I was implying that the cop can't claim that he thought the guy was going for a weapon. Hard to have weapons hidden when you don't have any clothes.

3/10/2015 10:09:20 AM

he could have had it sheathed in his ass

3/10/2015 10:33:10 AM

yeah, buttguns are all the rage.

3/10/2015 10:34:48 AM

A penis is a weapon

Naked man charged at the cop, there was no talk of a weapon.

Naked white man lives, naked nigga dead. Another day in Murica with the Special Forces Cops doing population control.

3/10/2015 10:42:03 AM

I'm talking about what the cop could claim in a defense. Because there really isn't much of a defense here.

3/10/2015 11:28:34 AM

Charging at a cop will get you shot. That's a solid defense.

Now whether or not it actually happened is another matter

But the cop was armed with a taser and pepper spray

3/10/2015 11:52:12 AM

Cop won't need to claim defense. As if any grand jury will indict a cop. To get a cop indicted you'd need a 100% black grand jury from Ferguson.

"But the cop was armed with a taser and pepper spra"

doesn't mean he's always under an obligation to try those first, and in this case, we don't know that he didn't.

either way, charge a cop and get shot. that's how it works.

[Edited on March 10, 2015 at 12:24 PM. Reason : i think they would call that a "good shoot"]

3/10/2015 12:23:48 PM

being naked in public is illegal

black people are killed for lesser offenses regularly

given the precedent this thread shouldnt exist

There seems to be some confusion about how much damage some people can do with their bare hands. A huge body building motherfucker could kill you with his bare hands, choke you to death, beat your face in, cause traumatic head injury, poke your eyes out, etc. The other consideration is if he was high on certain drugs he would not feel or respond to pain at all, which means all the maneuvers cops know (like twisting your finger or wrist back, or a taser) that bring you to your knees don't work.

An average sized cop or a female officer could easily be in danger of death or serious injury going one on one with a suspect like that. Some officers probably body build and practice MMA in their off time, they probably do not mind wrestling with a suspect.....but if the fucker is high on drugs and no help is around you cant blame an average sized cop for not getting in to it with him.

There are videos on YouTube of it taking 6 officers to bring down a suspect that is high on PCP. Imagine if its just one cop and the suspect starts getting the better of him what would happen.

I am not saying the cop is guilty or innocent, all I am saying it the suspect being armed or not is not the only consideration. There are some sick fucks in society, and the guy seeing demons running around naked qualifies as a legitimate threat weapon or not.

yup. rjrumfel is having a hard time with this point.

3/10/2015 1:22:06 PM

I'm having a hard time with a trained cop shooting a unarmed naked person. There are 100's of ways this can play out without the person dying. The day I start seeing whites getting the same treatment as blacks I'll stop complaining. So either start killing whites, or letting blacks live.

3/10/2015 1:33:06 PM

He just needs a little affluenza...

3/10/2015 1:35:12 PM

3/10/2015 1:42:58 PM

Cure for affluenza is rehab, cure for being poor is death. Murica as fuck justice.

3/10/2015 1:44:47 PM

^^tlq;dw

3/10/2015 2:17:23 PM

Are there no good non-lethal weapons? Like a net gun, glue gun, taser?

Seems like that'd be just as effective and way better for everyone involved.

3/10/2015 6:01:35 PM

Why diddnt they just fucking tickle him?

3/10/2015 8:17:34 PM

lol just as effective

this ain't spiderman brah

3/11/2015 12:13:26 AM

How can they not have some good web guns, this is 2015 brah

3/11/2015 5:42:38 PM

If I was a cop and you're charging me, you're gonna get shot. I'm not attacking you. You're attacking me. Tasers don't always work, pepper spray doesn't set in for a couple seconds and I have no clue what kind of training the person charging me has. You charge me, you're getting shot. End of Discussion.

Don't wanna get shot and killed by a cop? Its pretty fucking easy.

Signed,

Millions of people that go their entire lives without ever getting in a situation that would have them shot by a cop.

Wanna keep making excuses for people that put themselves in those situations? I won't. White, black, orange, green, grey. If you put yourself in a situation to charge an armed person, prepare to get shot.
