Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Police shoot man running around with air rifle in Wal-Mart (video)

Typing out his ass.


You don't want to see his keyboard.

Where's the evidence of this? I've read several reports that don't make mention one of any of that.

Did the guy have a rap sheet? If so, perhaps society is better off without him, but removing people from the gene pool isn't the job of the police.

now seat belt violations are a shootable offense

there better be more to the story to justify killing the man

It's OK. He probably had a rap sheet. Anyway, the important thing is that the officer made it home safe at the end of his shift.

The 911 call puts things in an entirely different picture.

Caller told dispatch that a man was walking around shooting a black rifle at people.

This is what was the info police had at the time.

So, when you arrive where people are calling about an active shooter do you wait for him to point at you? Do you wait for him to shoot somebody else? How long do you wait for him to comply?

I don't have any evidence of that. I just figured that since everyone else was presenting their theories and opinions as fact that I would too.

Sorry if my outlandish theories temporarily derailed your outlandish theories.

When did he get an opportunity to comply? Seems like he was full of holes before he knew anyone was concerned about him, let alone that the police were making demands of him.

not to mention do you kill a man on the word of a 911 caller

About how I figured it.

Made ya look.

You didn't answer my questions. Nice dodge.

You clearly see the chance to comply. He took a step to the right, started crouch and raise the gun. Chance gone.

Bluedreaux just stated that he made that up from whole cloth.

Read this in a report elsewhere on the 'net. If this is true he should be charged with manslaughter and the dead man's family should sue the chit outta him.

In addition, the man who initially made the call to 9-1-1 to report that Crawford was carrying a weapon around the store and pointing it at people, Ronald Ritchie, has already admitted to lying about the facts regarding his 9-1-1 call.



During the initial call, Ritchie claimed that a black man was �walking around with a gun in the store.� He told the dispatcher, �He�s, like, pointing it at people,� and later told reporters, �He was pointing at people. Children walking by,� according to The Guardian.

But a month later in an interview with The Guardian he had changed his story stating, �At no point did he shoulder the rifle and point it at somebody.�

Additionally, in the initial call, Ritichie told the dispatcher that Crawford appeared to be �trying to load� the gun, which the 9-1-1 dispatcher relayed to officers telling them that they thought the gunman had �just put some bullets inside.�

Comply with what? Do witnesses confirm that cops issued a command and provided more than an instant to comply?

What??

It's your job to face the dude. You've been told that he's already shot people. What frame of mind do you approach him with?

Me? He flinches, he dies. I'm not giving him the chance to kill me. Remember, I don't know that it's an air rifle and I'm under the impression that he's trigger happy.

Seriously, what would you have done differently given that knowledge?

Besides schitting their pants. Nothing different and they know it

But TrH hasn't been able to jump on his soap box in a while so now he is making up for lost time

the toy gun has an orange tip on it and no one in the store is acting like a man has a weapon pointing it at people.

How often does a cop go into a retail store with someone brandishing a weapon and people are still shopping and going about their business?
