Deputy Killers familys sues and wants an apology

[KevDen2005]

Hey Reyes family and attorney:

GO FUCK YOURSELF YOU WORTHLESS PIECES OF IGNORANT, VILE, SPINELESS SCUM!

+ 1,000,000

Keep in mind he took a deputy's gun...it wasn't like he was forced to use his own

[KevDen2005]

Be careful what you ask for. The right to file civil suits is a constitutional right. We already have enough encroachment in that department. Picking and choosing what to encroach and what to not encroach in that document is Russian roullette. Let the system work in this case.

I, too, am willing to put up with some bs that will get thrown out to make sure our constitutional rights are in place

Its always about the money

My dad was a cop/SWAT, after an 18 hour stand-off with a psychotic they managed to get the guy out of the basement alive and relatively unharmed but not before he managed to stab my dad.

We got notification of the law suit from the guy's parents before he was even out of the hospital. Luckily it was thrown out before having to go to trial. Can't sue the parents for not ensuring their adult son who was living with them was taking his meds, though.

Laws are skewed towards the criminals

Growing up both my parents were patrol with Anchorage Police. My dad ended up a LT. when he retired. He shot a guy at one point in his career. It was a Domestic disturbance, guy came at 3 of his officers with a knife, he shot twice center mass. He was put on leave with pay, psych eval, court case, justification, etc.. He said that was the low of his career, never drank so much scotch. For all good cops out there, its not a position anyone wants to be in. You are there to protect not kill. Guy ended up living, all court cases were thrown out.
I feel for both departments, both officers; loss of life and use of deadly force. Its a bad place to be and the family that was left behind, my prayers go out to you.
Having to deal with that aftermath is complete BS.

This is a good quote, one of my favorites. It was on my fathers retirement plaque:

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
-Theodore Roosevelt, Chief of Police 1910

I say file a counter-suit for law enforcement costs, damages to the officers, stress, rehabilitation, therapy etc etc.
Tally up a million dollar bill and send that to their sorry ass. demand they kill themselves or move out of the state or else they will proceed with the lawsuit.

I've just read the first of three pages of this thread but I agree with sniper on this -PLUS...

I say the family of the slain officer files a lawsuit against the murderers "estate" as well as the parents - for personal liability for the loss of income the officer would have probably provided for the next 20 years, emotional distress and hardship, etc.

The only ones held accountable for their actions these days are those who actually try to do the right thing.

Sickening.

" MY PIECE OF SHIT SON WOULD NOT HAVE DONE ANYTHING LIKE THIS. THE POLICE ARE LYING ABOUT WHAT HE DID. THEY KILLED HIM JUST BECAUSE OF HIS SKIN COLOR"


what a crock, too bad we can't dig him up and shoot him again.

it's funny....

I can be pretty critical of police when they do things they should not be doing.

But when I see a vid of the police beating up a guy that just led them on a long and dangerous high speed chase, I don't mind so much.

like that vid of the guy that killed a cop in an escape attempt, who's family goes apeshit when he shows back up in court all beat to hell after getting caught.

To that family, and the family of this threads aforementioned scumbag I say: "Fuck off and die."

I hope the sheriff tells them the same thing.

To the lawyer, well... I'll plead the fifth on what should happen to him.

Paid leave while they do an investigation?

If the cop wasn't carrying he'd still be alive. This case could be a Gun Hater's wet dream.
