“firing on an unarmed suspect”

Who had attacked him once, tried to wrestle his gun away from him, and was charging in to have another go at him.

Of course in practice cops follow no procedure”

Spoken like a true Cop-hater

Try again, dimwit.

Let’s sic a huge, violent street thug on you and see how you handle it. Then we can all sit back and second guess every move you made before concluding that you’re an amateur and a half-wit.

That kind of stuff sounds like Monday-morning quarterbacking to me. He said he was attacked, which the evidence supports, and that he only killed the guy when he doubled back to attack him again, which the evidence supports. The fact that he wasn’t a chess grandmaster about the whole encounter doesn’t bother me much.

I have a hard time believing that Wilson followed anything that resembled police procedure or tactics: maneuvering his vehicle so that the suspect could block his exit, drawing his weapon inside his car while struggling with the suspect, trying to subdue a fleeing belligerent suspect with no assistance, firing on an unarmed suspect. Is this mailman who volunteers on the weekend to patrol or a trained professional? Of course in practice cops follow no procedures, but let’s not pretend they are “doing their job” just by clipping on the badge.
