So Pointing a Gun is Justification for Deadly Force

[hornadylnl]

Two teens killed by Chicago police after pointing guns, police say

"If you point a gun at a policeman, I guarantee you will get shot," Camden said.

What, no room for excuses and caveats?

Probely if you point your gun in a direction of anyone who possesses a firearm will get you shot. Not just LEO's.

 

[HoughMade]

Maybe the police pointed their guns first and these poor youthful victims were just defending themselves.

[DoggyDaddy]

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Get told to drop your weapon, refuse and then point it at the police? Yep, gonna get shot.

 

[eldirector]

That' pretty much my rule.

Depending on the situation, it may even take much less than that.

If that cop in Furgeson had had the good sense to get beaten to death we wouldn't have all these problems.... it probably wouldn't even made the news outside of Missouri.

 

[Hookeye]

Yeeesh, they were just showing the cops they had their own hardware and weren't going to get all Michael Brown and try to take theirs.

If that reporter had the good sense to not exercise his first amendment right to the freedom of the press, NOBODY would know about Officer Go **** Yourself.

Officer go****yourself wouldn't have even been in that position to point that rifle if Darren Wilson had just done the honorable thing and died like he should have.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

So now Officer Go **** Yourself is a victim of circumstance. So much for personal responsibility.

Yup.

Just like that reporter.... He wouldn't have been in that circumstance either had Darren Wilson done the honorable thing and died.
He probably did something to someone as some point anyhow and deserved it when you boil it all down.

Just curious what excuse you would think is acceptable for pointing your gun at a police officer after being told to put your gun down?

Gentle Giant pummels LEO....Film at 11

Are you serious or is this one of those devil's advocate type threads?

The gun doesn't even have to be real to get you shot if you point it at someone. Including turning with the toy in your hands to see who is yelling at you.

 

[VN Vet]

......OK, but.....Wait! Don't shoot! Here's my gun!................. no really, here's' my gum.....Bang....Bang.....Bang....

The police state unequivocably that you point a gun at an officer, you will be shot. Ergo, they will be justified in doing so. But when one of their own goes ape**** ballistic and points a rifle in multiple peoples faced without justification and screaming they will ****ing kill you, they equivocate over every possible nuance and excuse possible. Just today, Officer Go **** Yourself is a victim of circumstance. INGOers lose their collective minds when excuses are made for criminals but when the criminal happens to have a badge, suddenly excuses are good.

HHhhhmmmmmmmm......You hold us in to high regard.
You are constantly calling out "Ingoer's"
Are we the devil. Are we all that bad.
You have stated "WE" paint this and that with to broad a brush stroke.
Well horn my boy you are as guilty or even more so.
So many comments condemning Ingo members as a whole. A lot here of late.
If we are such butt heads and dirt bags why stick around.
I already know how you think of me and actually could care less as I see who you really are.
It just gets a bit old having you group everyone together as terrible people.
I know a lot of these folks. They ain't so bad actually.
That we do not hold your hate for authority figures does not make us the enemy.
You are in search of something that does not and will not exist in our life times.
