Very true.

its tricky bcuz he was doing his job.. I bet he only gets a year..or probation, which really doesnt fit the "crime".

I think you are way off base.



.

What a fucking idiot. He should be arrested for that.

I hope he gets ass fucked in jail.

does anyone know the cop personally? history of being a prick or doing something like this?
Is anyones character taken into account anymore?

*throws hands in air* ... which is what the biker should have done..
fuck I dunno.. cops an idiot for what he did, he'll get reemed most likely.. make a mistake go to jail right?

Adam, You clearly want to defend the position of the cop. We get that. Most of us are either pro cops or anti cops and our judgement gets skewed as a result. I have a cousin who is a cop, and a good friend who is also a cop. We naturally sympathize as a result.

In this instance though I think it's clear that the guy made a horrible call. The result means the person he shot in the line of duty will never walk again. He is trained to make calls of this nature on a daily basis. Forget the details about who it was and what time of day it happened, as those things are really secondary to why he made the choice to shoot this guy. If they came into his decision making process then clearly he deserves what he's likely to get because you don't just shoot an innocent guy on a bike in the back.

How would you feel if this happened to be a security guard who shot a biker messing around in a parking lot of JC Pennys?

Or alternatively if this were a hispanic guy in Arizona shooting a white guy in the back?

Same crime different circumstances that's all.

Someone in your family is a cop right?

Let's say it wsn't a cop who shot the guy. Would you then feel the same way? Having a badge is not a get out of jail free card :2 cents:

true, you can play with alternate scenarios.. like in the movie Colors.. the black guy in bed bangin that chick.. cops bust in, they say thats not him thats not him, guy reaches for his pants, one cop starts firing..kills'em. That cop was repremanded (or did he lose his job? cant remember) but that was just a movie..

in this case, cop shot a guy without seeing a gun... did he do it maliciously or was it truly a fearful mistake? If its the former, send him to jail, if the latter, a judge should make the cop pay the guy money and do X amount of good things for that biker for the rest of his life.. lol yeah right.. What good is jail gonna do? make other cops think twice? what good does it do the biker? vindication gonna heal his paralysis?

they should make that cop be the biker's butler.

50 people shot in the back


you can make the same argument about jail reforming people the world over. Fact is, thats the way we hand out justice. You do wrong, you go to jail.

Not if your bike is running and it's in gear.

This is really fucked up, I can't stand these cops that do this shit. What happened to "To protect and to server"

That's why the train. Unless he was a pussy and got scared of a guy on a Harley and he was shaking then the gun went off.

Maybe it was a holiday and he had to work while his neighbor was home fucking his wife on his bed, I don't know. But who the fuck shoots someone in the back. He deserves to go to Jail for a long time. But will he, No.

its even worse for the cop.. he has to bunk down with people he busted.. it'll be interesting to see how this case plays out.

Is there such a thing? Seems to me that that's why they become cops in the first place... no competence.

i would wager that there are more competent police than less.

I hope the cop gets locked up

No he does not. He will be isolated from the main prison population.

shows how much I know about prison.. anyone else see Felon?

interesting how it was the friend that was getting the bike off the shot dude and doing any sort of cpr

cop should lose his job just for that bit of shock alone

But doing anything loudly like screaming would be considered a hostile action and you'd get shot anyways.

Surely some cop somewhere has used that excuse before. :(

no such thing as a good cop.

Same applies still.

Many people kill without intent - accidents etc etc - these people still get punished. Why should this officer be any different?

If anything, IMO he should suffer far harsher consequences as he should be protecting the public with all his *training* :2 cents:

His actions after the shooting speak boatloads, IMHO. He was not acting like it was a mistake.

Pretty sure his job does not entail shooting someone in the back.

So be it. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.

interesting to see everyones responses.. people mostly don't give a fuck about each other..

I like playing the devil's advocate a little bit obviously..

the cops goin down for a while I'm sure.. especially since he just stood there like a dumbfuck with his gun drawn after he drops the poor guy. I know a lot of bikers, and they're damn cool until you fuck with them. Cop was in FEAR... Insert fail pic.

:1orglaugh

He would be segregated .he wouldn't last long..probably get maybe 5 years .human life is worth shit

fuck officers

That is unfortunate.

only 11 years? you gotta be kidding me

Jack

I don't think cops get locked up in the same place as criminals. That would be pretty much like killing them.

GUILTY

bad judgement that leads to felonious assault with a gun has a consequence. i am glad justice was served in this case.

Suprised he got found guilty , i have seen much worse go unpunished/uncharged


i admit cops must have a hard time making those split second decisions.

checkout this video recently from oregon, although completely different scenario , the cop must make a split second decision to shoot or not, in this case his decision to shoot probably saved his life, fortunately it was a taser so all ended well.

"Both sides had good arguments."???? And what exactly was this good argument for White?

So disturbing.

:2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

are you smoking massive amounts of crack fool ?

he destroys some guys life and you think he should be fired ? :1orglaugh

fucking pathetic

RIP earth and humanity 2012

That guy was tweaking.

The biker deserved it.
