If the incident had gone another way, and the department was facing a massive suit over a teenager the cop wound up going all excessive force on the teenager who vandalized his car, the lawyers might have them singing a different tune, since he was the victim first.

This story is well over a year old. http://www.elpasotimes.com/tablehome/ci_21708260/el-paso-police-officer-dies-from-sept-25 The cop was off duty and his personal vehicle got vandalized. He left his home and went looking for the person he thought did it. He was wrong to do that. (and stupid) When a cop is off duty and a victim of a crime he is the same as any other citizen. He should have reported it to the police and let them handle it. I feel terrible that he died but he never should have taken it to the streets. He should have handled it through the proper channels. As a cop he should have known better. And the ones who killed him just might get off with self-defense or SYG.

pulling the legs out from underneath him sounds like what knocked him out, people go down a lot differently like that, and Id like to see the autopsy records on his skull its a bit like appless n giraffes, but yanno reality has nothing to do with the fact that this kid deserves jail for killing a cop, if the cop was armed, to make this.... relevant, why didnt he use it? No Im not blaming the cop. Im blaming the shit that took his legs from under him and put him in a coma. then died as a result of his injuries.

Someone in plain clothes saying he is a police officer who means to harm you clearly, is no proof of his being one.

So you are claiming that the police are required by law to retreat? quote: ORIGINAL: Phydeaux quote: ORIGINAL: mnottertail because this is the exact opposite and the kid should be assumed to be not guilty and it should be stand your ground.

I never mentioned Zimmerman. There's also New Mexico case on the news right now where the arm chair legal experts are claiming that an officer shouldn't have drawn his Taser on a teenager who was swinging at him. That is based on the media myth that any teenager is harmless and that all police must possess superior Chuck Norris skills... which this incident (and the West Memphis incident, et al.) proves to be a false perception. quote: ORIGINAL:tj44 quote: ORIGINAL: EdBowie Well, wasn't it established by all the medical and legal experts on the internet that no one could ever be so incapacitated by a sucker punch from a teen, that their life would be in danger?

FR: If an unarmed teenager can kill a cop with their bare hands, why do all of the NRA screechers claim that they need a gun in order to defend themselves? Pussies.

Yes, that's a good question. All they need to do is make sure they are standing on cement and the perp is looking the other way and they can pull on their legs. Why the hell hasn't someone already thought of this. I can see the cops now, standing there just waiting for someone to do something wrong and then turn their back. Then they can either attack or suggest the guy move over to the concrete so they can take them down. I feel safer already. [8\|]

The facts of the case were all in the link I posted in my last post. The self-defense/SYG part was purely opinion but I just checked and I was pretty spot on. http://www.elpasotimes.com/ci_22029939/bond-reduced-suspect-police-officers-death The boy's lawyer is using a self-defense plea claiming that the officer aggressively confronted the boys, used profanity and gay slurs towards them and basically passed the first lick. So that was actually a good guess on my part. Like I said I feel very sorry for the death of this officer but what he did was very foolish. What exactly did he think was going to happen when he approached these men on the streets, off duty, out of uniform with no backup regarding a very personal incident? And he only decided to call 911 after he approached them and the situation started going south. I am very sorry he died and I sincerely hope the boy who killed him will do time, but I won't hold my breath. Again his actions were very foolish and will be used to defend the suspect. Police officers are not too popular these days and the officer was clearly wrong in how he handled this. That will most likely have a lot of influence on the outcome of this case. That being said he did not deserve to die and he does deserve justice. I hope he gets it.

You can call it wrong (or as others have put it 'stupid') all you want, many states require officers to act when they observe criminal activity on or off duty, he may not have had the non-LEO's option of staying out of harm's way. He may have thought back up was near but the subjects doubled back, or a host of other unknown or badly reported factors... like so many of these cases that make it into the media. Or he may have made every mistake in the book, I doubt if we can tell which is which from just the news. quote: ORIGINAL: MsMJAY quote: ORIGINAL: thishereboi I am not sure what the date matters but I doubt they will get off with SYG.

Texas law provides you have the right to pursue a thief making off with your property, and to use deadly force against criminal mischief in the night. So the very idea of some other 'proper channel' to 'handle' such a situation is stupid. What the victim did was a proper channel. Any other 'channel' would have meant no justice. The perps get away to commit crimes some future day. Some of us do not find that acceptable when we have witnessed who the criminal is--and want to do what we can to bring him to justice. This man gave his life to confront some thugs. As a result, three of the thugs are unlikely to ever cause you or me a problem. One, because he is going to prison for murder and the other two because they realize now, like most grown men, just how easily tempers can flare when you are out damaging the property others care about, and worked hard to acquire. This cop is a hero. His only mistake was in not keeping his attention on all 3 of the thugs, instead of the one who scratched his car.
