Holy WTF?!? Florida caretaker shot by officer

^^ Yeah. That's what bothers me about this one.

I want to hear quotes from the other officers on scene.

"I said, 'Dude, what the f_ck are you doing?!'"

Cartaker: "Why did you shoot me?"


Officer: "I dont know"

And then to cuff him and leave him there? Ok i get the 911 call and the witness the chief talks about at the press conference. But their is so much wrong with this story. Im guessing this DB had his safety off and finger on the trigger. But really? You arrive on scene and the guy complys on the ground hands above his head, with open communication and the "stand off" results in an innocent care worker shot and hamd cuffed on the asphalt. I agree with their decision to let the state and DOJ investigate this one, because you cant explain it. I dont agree with most law suits but i hope this guy retires wealthy after this show of stupidity.

If this officer isnt charged and convicted this will end all credibility with LE. Some shoots are good, some are bad, and some are WTF, but in the end he is responsible for every round he sends down range just like everyone else.

After FBI Director Comey and Hillary you think LE has any credibility? It is every man for himself.

It is just the state protecting people from themselves.

Back to the topic, clearly and indisputably a bad shoot. You can guarantee there is an opening on the department and their pocketbook will be significantly lighter when this is all said and done. As to what caused the officer to shoot, well, we can speculate that until we're blue in the face. Ultimately could come down to lack of training, adrenaline, or a combination of the two.

Shouldn't be funny but it's true. I did two years there. I was lucky to escape alive.

I guess Zika virus is a good a defense as any.

OP's link has AIDS, but seriously in what universe is the shooter not in jail right now? This is why people turn on the cops, justifiably in my opinion in this case.

Most of us wait for the facts to come out before finding a man guilty and locking him up.
Most of us don't condemn the entire police force based on the actions of few.
