TURBOXR I miss her... Donating Members 703 Member For: 20y 4m 24d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 31/01/06 07:33 AM Share Posted 31/01/06 07:33 AM I doubt he was shot for stealing petrol, maybe for attacking a lone policeman.As said, we dont know the details, so we cant jump to a conclusion. However,if the situation has escalated to the point where the man has a weapon pointed at him and has been told to stop or be shot, he makes the decision. And I know because ive been there.And also remember accidents happen, unfortunatly when weapons and struggling/fighting are involved the results can be fatal.

That is what a gun is for....The dead loser just forgot the saying that you should never bring a knife to a gunfight.One less in the shallow end of the gene pool. Sorry, cops are beaten up way too often and we are too quick to judge against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumpen Poison Fish. Poison Fish. TASTY FISH!!! Donating Members 5,181 Member For: 21y 10m 29d Gender: Male Location: The Bogan Shire Posted 31/01/06 09:13 AM Share Posted 31/01/06 09:13 AM So if he punched the cop then it's a fair bet he didn't have any kind of metallic weapon.Otherwise he would have pulled it rather than punched the officer. Police have self defense and "close combat" training, right?Police have a billy club and steel caps, right?One wonders how far away old mate was when he was shot, he was obviously past arms reach as the officer could easily pull his weapon...Break his nose, beat up on the crim for sure, in fact I'd encourage. But shooting him? That does seem a bit extreme.Basically what your saying Ian is taht if some nicked an $80 vase from my shop and then punched me, I should have shot them?Lumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
