Looks like the off duty officer did about everything wrong here. Never good to lose an officer, but they, like the rest of us, have to use their heads. I also have to question the decision to shoot by the officer that shot him. link to story NEW YORK � A plainclothes policeman who drew his gun while chasing someone he had found rummaging through his car was shot and killed by a fellow officer who was driving by and saw the pursuit, the police commissioner said.
Commissioner Raymond Kelly said 25-year-old Omar J. Edwards died after being shot late Thursday within blocks of the Harlem police station where he worked.
Edwards had just finished his shift around 10:30 p.m. when he headed to his car and saw that the driver's-side window had been smashed and a man was going through the vehicle, Kelly said.
Edwards struggled with the man, who got away from him by slipping out of his sweater, Kelly said. Edwards chased the man up two streets with his gun drawn, he said.
A sergeant and two plainclothes officers in an unmarked police car saw the pursuit and made a U-turn to follow the men, Kelly said. One of the officers jumped out of the car and fired six times, hitting Edwards twice � once in the arm and once in the chest, he said.

I'm thinking the officer who fired first (obviously without verifying wtf was going on) did more wrong than the off-duty guy.

ditto
if he'd capped a civilian like that he'd be looking at a grand jury and a law suit.

so theres 5 people involved and only one in uniform.
and the only one without a gun is the perp.
NY and DC are the only 2 places i think should be absolutly without firearms.But I also think they should be fenced off to suppress the spread of stupid.

We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?
Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.

Bloomberg's finest . This is the problem you have in a city with total gun ban. Police shoot everyone they see with a pistol in their hand with no verification before shooting. I'm surprised he actually hit him twice .
A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

I suspect the first officer had no choice but to have his pistol in hand...or leave it in the car. Most officers don't holster their weapons when off-duty.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

You know, I'll just bet you are, and it probably doesn't make much difference who dies either.

saying that to Itppowell is hardly warranted. If you were talking about hunter1960, I would go along with you.

You ever worked the street with any of the LEO's here? Oh! of course, it's your Internet vibes. Same old story, old man. You don't like anyone who doesn't bow to you.

Nah, I'm with Sam on this one, but you have gotten better hunter, but for someone to make a comment like that to powell, they are showing just how foolish they are.
