Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire what do you guys think, happened here this morning.

Somebody brought a club to a gunfight?

I think that guys family just won the municipal lottery.

Guy dropped the 2x4 after the first shot. Cop put 6 more into him and continued shooting after he turned and was walking away.

This will cost the tax payers some money.

I think there is a whole lot missing to the story.

I don't see the threat after he dropped the weapon/board/whatever it was...

Noticed that too.

Very short, and these vids rarely tell the whole story.

guy was out in the street this morning swinging that pipe/tube whatever it is at cars, sounds like somebody either unstable or under the influence.

Why shoot him at all at that point? What exactly is the purpose? Guy swung the board like a flaming gay then dropped it. Taze him or rush him and tackle him. But shoot him? That's just a cop not valuing a persons life in the least.

Nothing new there though.

They greased a naked Chinaman in Canada a few years back.

He had a 2x4.

Maybe it was an American 2x4...

Seems more weak hand taser training is needed in that local.

I hope there's a lot more than what was shown in the video. Otherwise were it up to me, the city would pay for that last shot. Perp had dropped the 2x and was already on his way down, with his back turned, no public in immediate danger. Well, unless you were inside of the Popeyes, then you might have got your ass shot.

Permitted murder, happens a lot in America

Popeye out of chiggum sammiches!!!!

Metro cops killed a man for a bicycle infraction in Vegas yesterday. Riding without lights.

Metro incident

Bikers are fair game.

not sure if he's dead, news this morning said taken to the hospital in unknown condition.

Good shoot, proximity to Popeye's while wielding wood is probable cause. Too many dumbasses in the world anyway.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — An officer-involved shooting took place near the corner of Weber and Gollihar Roads on Tuesday.

At about 8:07 a.m., an unidentified CCPD officer responded to a call of of a man swinging a pipe at cars in the street.

Witness David Saucedo said he was in traffic on his way to work at a nearby job site when he saw "this guy walking with about a 4-foot-(long) steel pipe."

By the time he reached his work site, he said someone had called 911 to report the man in the street.

"He didn't look like he was in his right mind," Saucedo said. "Walking barefooted, with a steel pipe, in the rain with a lightning storm going -- that doesn't sound right to me."

The officer reportedly arrived at the scene and approached the suspect, who took a swing at the officer with a large pipe. That's when the officer fired.

"I heard the shots and saw the guy already fallen on the ground," Saucedo said. "By then, they were both already in the middle of the road."

Police say the investigation is ongoing, and they will be conducting a sweep for any available security footage in the area.

"The officer has to protect himself," Markle said. "The gentleman turned and attacked the officer with this pipe. There were shots fired. Subsequently the individual was struck and taken to the hospital."

There is no word on the suspect's condition.

"We'll get through this," Markle said. "We're collecting video, doing all those things we have to do. (We want to) make sure we run a good crime scene here."

Markle said the officer has been put on administrative leave per standard CCPD policy.

Saucedo said when he heard the shots, he figured the suspect must have "jumped the cop."

"I guess he got aggressive with the cop ... of the of the cars," he said. "I don't know. I'm glad the police officer did his job. (He) protected the public."

He said he feels the police officer was justified in the shooting.

"If someone's swinging a pipe at me," Saucedo said. "I woulda shot him myself."

They make it sound ominous, "swinging a pipe" That's like saying a T-ball kid and a major league baseball player are equivalent.

Not how i would’ve handled it
