I was from 1990 - 1992 out in San Bernardino County in California, it was in 1997 I went to the dark side and became a cop.

Perry can probably get you a seat in one of those screaming red trucks!

Do you know for sure it was a black community.

I guess I'm a little disappointed in some of the comments. But then I'm not that suprised. I've never understood how people that have no experience in law enforcement or fire fighting or being a lawyer can have so much knowledge. It's amazing, some of yall should get together. I'm sure your accusations and comments could solve the worlds problems. And you dont even have to leave your house.
One poster said full swat team mode. There were 2 officers. 1 said the officer was probably scared because it was a black neighborhood. Do you know for sure it was a black community. Are you able to tap into this officers mine
And 1 said if it had been in colonial neighborhood he probably would not of shot. Basically your saying he is a racist and only going to shoot depending on the neighborhood.
Ft.Worth has gotten out in front of this. Although I wish the mayor would of chosen her words more wisely. Her statement has already convicted the officer and set Ft.Worth up for a hugh lawsuit. I guess we are now guilty before trial. I just think ad adults we should think before we make some of these ignorant comments.

Life experience goes a long ways when being an LEO... too many hired now days straight out of college or still living at home with mom and dad (on their dime). Never been in an altercation or stressful situation... but they have a super clean back ground check and good test takers. Doesn’t always make for the best police officer. Give me an officer who can enforce the law with a non-bias outlook and has life experience. Not everyone needs to go to jail and not everyone is a criminal just bc they make a mistake or made a poor decision. Feel bad for all involved in this horrible situation. Wonder if he fired on purpose or if it was an accidental discharge.

There are about 1000 police shootings annually that result in death in America. 98% plus are cleared by investigation as good shoots, IE, justified under the law. LE makes millions of citizen contacts annually....millions and millions. Hundreds of thousands of arrests. Huge numbers of body cameras on them every minute of every day. So the percentage of police misconduct, or mistakes, is a tiny fraction of a percentage point if you consider all of it. It is what it is guys. You can't give life and death decisions to a human and then not factor in human error. It is just stupid to ignore it. There is also NO way around it. EVER. Argue all you want, point fingers, listen to the media, believe whatever you want to believe, but LE does the job effectively and at a higher level than EVER before in this nation. PERIOD.

If mistakes become murder, then so be it. Prosecute them under the law just like everyone else.

Fireman also used to have past k knowledge of building construction and general knowledge of tools , not anymore. So who's fault is it? Parents right?
