Pa State Trooper has killed 4 in 4 incidents

[GunLawyer001]

Trooper from around Jonestown PA has been the shooter 4 separate times, all against citizens with histories of mental illness and/or drug abuse.

This is obviously a hit piece, but any thoughts?

Looks like they all have one thing in common, that*s part of the reason why he*s still on the force.

i think someone from outside the area without the conflict of interest the da did should investigate deeper. after looking at all the evidence then make a ruling if he should be allowed to keep his job.

The article site locked up on me, but from what I read there was no detail on what the deceased did to warrant being fired upon. That detail had to have come out in court and obviously satisfied the question if the shootings were justified. To comment further, I'd need to read the court transcripts, not newspaper articles or watch TV news videos.

Well no dogs were shot......I would want to see that whole dash cam video on why he discharged his weapon....

I know a few police that have shot and killed people in the line of duty..the common theme was the person killed was given a chance to make a choice.....

Funny I am friends and related to about a dozen and a half LEO's from PSP to P/T township cops and those numbers in a young LEO just don't add up.
An independent investigation is certainly warranted. Personally I think this troopers mental state needs some serious evaluation.

It's this Gen 2 Kindle Fire. Sites with lots of embedded clickbait and bottom of page clickbait will slow it down and lock it up.

Looks like murder to me when he just up and shot that guy sitting in his car.
Seems like he just likes to kill people. Maybe one day he'll get his.

I don't know the details, it just seems like statistically this is troubling. He's killing people at the rate that TV cops kill people.

On the other hand, the loons who end up killing cops have a pattern to them, I believe. They act weird. They won't obey reasonable orders (not the "5 cops are screaming simultaneously "don't move!" and "walk backwards slowly!" and "get on the ground NOW!!)

it could go either way, or some 3rd way. The DA could be crooked and covering for a killer. It could just be that SOMEWHERE in the USA a cop will be at the extreme right on the "killings per career" graph without doing anything wrong. I've seen stories of people who hit the lottery for over a million, twice, which I wondered about because why would they keep playing if they won once?

It's all worth talking about, but we don't have the facts to conclude anything yet. I'd like to see 12 jurors all arrive at the same decision, after spirited prosecution and spirited defense.
