Opelika, AL cop cleared of shoot 1st shooting of drunk driver-- WOW!

[Gunsnwater]

why? why did he think a traffic accident was going to result in a weapon being brought out rather than a wallet or other id???

Fake news promotes fear of getting shot by over coverage of radicals shooting cops blind sided.

Not that I am condoning the shooting, BUT.... ...if you get out of a car without being told to do so(except if car is on fire), and have something in your hands - you probably deserve to be shot for stupidity.


Stay in the car until directed to get out.

Do NOT have shit in your hands until directed to retrieve said items.

Do you sit in your car after an accident or get out and look for damage and see if everyone is OK? COP was an ASSHOLE.

Was the shot guy drunk driving?

I prefer to be able to support the police but that looks a little like a bad shoot to me and if I was that truck driver I might have giving porky an earful for shooting in my direction. Where's all the rioting at? BLM could change their name to citizens' lives matter and have more reasons to march. I'd say that the Chris Rock Educational Video would be a good lesson for all drivers.

It would of concern to see how this officer worked other encounters on the highway, if the vid of those encounters were saved.

The cop murdered that man plain and simple . Lets hope he get some karma .

He was on his way back to the air base according to the article. Was he out drinking or reporting for duty we don’t know. He sure as hell wasnt acting like an ass.

Remember a cops 'fear for their safety' trumps a citizens right to due process, humane treatment and the citizens US Conditional Rights.

While true, if we use that logic I would conclude that every person I meet is either going to assault or rob me.

I refer back to my earlier statement. If you think that was a good shoot, every single person needs to fear any interaction with the police.
