I guess if you are pulled over in Ottawa the best thing to do is to put your hands up in air and immediately start screaming that you are unarmed, and please don't shoot!!

Guy just shot him, his hand was not even moving towards the "officer" . . .

That cop should rot for a few years sitting in Gen Pop.

like steroids son? well here you go heres a gun...now go get em boy

cops suck, they always do, they always will.

Ottawa Hills, Ohio. Not Canada :)

Getting shot in real life doesn't look that spectacular...

Oops! My Bad! In that case, Ohio is the place I need to do that in... :winkwink:

well, ya ride your loud piped harley drunk and stoned at 3 am peeling out from stop signs with the police right behind ya and you are asking for trouble.

True, but you are not asking to be shot in the back :2 cents:

Yeah, it looks like he just got unplugged.

That's crazy! I sure hope the cop goes to jail for the full 11 years

I hope he gets the full 11 years and then some!

i agree. but, depending on the circumstances, when a cop pulls over guys like that, they are pretty skeered and on the defensive, at least in my experience and from the stories shared from riding buddies. also, there could be a serious problem in that area with mc clubs. not saying there is, i do not know, but if there is, that cop was peeing in his panties when he pulled those guys over, i figure that's how the 2nd cruiser was on the scene so fast, lights flashing.

not taking the cop's side, that was a serious fuck up, but riding like that at 3am is really asking for A LOT of trouble.

gutless .

here's an example of how cops pull bikers over- gun instantly drawn and it's an undercover cop, no badge, nothing-

11 years in prison and then, upon his release, snip his spinal cord so he is permanently paralyzed for the rest of HIS life. Sounds fair... :2 cents:

Sadly, that was funny :1orglaugh

Remember in earlier posts about Arizona/Illegals I stated nobody has seen real profiling unless they are riding a motorcycle?

Earlier in the first video about a minute before the shooting the officer drove right past a vehicle stopped partially on the road to follow 2 bikers that hadn't done anything. Talk about profiling.

If you're so scared that you need to shoot people in the back before asking them to dismount or step out of the vehicle, then you are not competent to be a peace officer.

If you made a mistake and shot someone in the back, you are also incompetent to be an officer.

There is no way to slice this other than guilty. With great power comes great responsibilty and sometimes great fail.

:2 cents:

Only 11 years for that? Wow.

you guys so fast to throw a cop in jail for 11 years are just as bad as the cop.. he's obviously very fearful or incompetent.. you discipline him accordingly.. but not even 1 year behind bars..

ever been to jail? You know what its like to lose your life behind steel doors for even 24 hours? Its no fucking joke. Your freedom is ripped away. That cop needs to be sued and disciplined or fired.. but jail is another ballgame. Put the Dahmers and violent maniacs in jail.. obviously this guy fucked up.. wouldn't you want a second chance?

Tell that to the guy that he crippled. He doesn't get a second chance to walk again. As far as I am concerned it was attempted murder.

I don't know about you but all I saw on the video was a cop following 2 guys until they accelerated hard from a stop then shooting one of them in the back while he sat on his bike. If I did that I would get more than 11 years. How about you.

.

That kinda thing wouldn't happen here.

He shot and paralyzed a man... Throw him to the dogs...

Never?

He discharged his sidearm into the back of a motorcyclist by mistake. Mistakes have consequences. Thats it really. When you have the ability to kill or injure someone by your mistake, you know going in how imperative it is to never make that mistake. No idea what the sentancing guidelines are for that. I guess just as harsh or light as the people have decided.

I do not think he is claiming he accidentally pulled the trigger. He may not have meant to paralyze a man that was no threat to him, but pulling the trigger was intentional.

He shot an unarmed man in the back and left him crippled. I think that is pretty fucking violent. 1 year in jail? What would you get for shooting someone in the back and leaving them in a wheelchair?

I wonder if the cop was using a Glock. I personally don't like the "safety" system. He might have nervously shot him. Still his or his departments fault.

ohhhh...fucking bastards!

yeah I get it... but cops are hired to carry guns, civilians are not.. this cop thought the guy was reeling back with a gun, which is lame bcuz he never produced one.. the cop is a chicken shit and for making a mistake.. a big mistake, he deserves punishment of some sort.. but 11 years?

If the guy wasnt paralyzed things would be different... but since he was, it becomes necessary to put the cop behind bars for 11 years? I dont mean to stick up for the cop so much its just a matter of principal.. many cops abuse their authority everyday trust me I know..

This idiot cop gives good cops a bad name. This idiot cop makes the job of good cops that much harder. He destroyed this guys life. They should throw the fuckin' book at this pig. Twice. :2 cents:

That's nothing! You should see what they do to you if you let your grass grow to tall in Ottawa Hills. They probably kill your first born

I was a reserve deputy sheriff for a while, and I can tell you that the only safety system that counts is that you NEVER put your finger on the trigger until you have decided to fire. It ALWAYS should stay extended along the side of the weapon. If this guy fired by mistake than his training totally sucked.

Holy shit I thought that was a hoax.
