Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Man...a "blink of the eye" doesn't quite cover it. Anyone trying to pass judgment on a police shooting should see this. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/09/11/graphic-video-lapd-releases-video-officer-being-shot-at-point-blank-range-during-traffic-stop.html LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 LAPD Gang Unit. That's an exciting assignment for the very young. I hope the officer fully recovers. God bless them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Pretty much ruins any argument about the LEOs not being justified. Every shooting needs to be put up for the public to see what our folks in blue have to put up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 2nd guessing what was done here; but was the officer's approach to the driver a bit casual? LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 It’s my opinion that gang bangers should be shot on sight, but that’s just me. I have no love, appreciation, respect, or any positive towards them. I don’t care what their race is or where they come from. If you are affiliated with a gang and you commit a crime you should be shot...many times. Oh, sure, we have the Constitution, we also have the right of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” as listed in the Declaration of Independence. We need a new Declaration of Independence that declares people like gang bangers as “oppressors” and to be shunned and destroyed when encountered...but, that’s just me.

Irish jack Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Very casual indeed. Second guessing is different from watching the video and dissecting the incident for learning purposes. Not saying she's a bad person...but mistakes were made. Glad she survived though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish jack Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I just watched this again, with footage from the partner's view. The young female officer seemed hurried and comfortable in her conversation with the gangster. He definitely kept his cool and sounded agreeable enough, but in the future I'll bet she keeps her distance when the door opens instead of allowing a known gangster to get so close. The partner officer may or may not have been using his light to illuminate the interior of the car, hard to tell. The gangster put on a good show of cooperating, even raising his hands to show compliance, before arming himself as he gets out. Tough situation to read for everyone involved. Lessons learned the hard way are often the longest lasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLG Complacency kills. Nothing wrong with taking a few steps back, letting the takedown lights shine in their eyes, and ordering them out on your terms.

When the perp told her, that he was on probation-She and her partner should have gone to 'condition red'. OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
