@seagullseagullseagul bro I don't like the police either, I really don't. But the driver was responsible for his passenger getting shot, because the driver was shooting at the police... If the driver didn't shoot, his car wouldn't have gotten shot up like that.. That's just common sense man.. if the cops would have shot first, I'd be agreeing with you 100%.. but I know that if you shoot at me, I promise I'm going to keep shooting at you until you stop. It's just self preservation at that point

@David-oj2ev 2 жыл бұрын

I think that was the passenger because I kept hear shots coming from that vehicle with a leg sticking down out of the car. The inflatable suspect was the passenger and that was his legs as he was jumping into the back for safety and he got hit in the back and his legs started to make those involuntary movements lol

@seagullseagullseagul Your credibility reduces when you use all caps. Also, self preservation is a factor, and I don't know of any law or law enforcement protocol in that state that does not allow the maneuver. What would you have done, and if you do have an answer to that question, would your suggested actions be available at the time and allowed by the law, while keeping collateral damage limited to one injured person?

People don’t realize what these officers go through at times like this one when things happen so fast that if not for training you might miss something, literally speaking, it’s a very dangerous job and some never think about these officers and what they do for me and you, I would like to thank all these officers for putting their life on the line for all of us, because that’s what they do every day for me and you, god bless all police officers everywhere all across our nation let it be known that here in Texas we don’t talk about defunding the police we talk about how we can help our officers.god bless youall. strait from a heart of Texas.

@happycamper6352 2 жыл бұрын

In my city they're paid approximately $16/hour from what I was told a couple weeks ago. The officer that told me is also in the National Guard, so I guess maybe the income is a bit more tolerable when added together, but I think they ought to be paid better for the risk they take. I guess that's one of the reasons why we see so much turnover here.

The real tragedy is the officer was only making $39k a year to put his life in danger every day, yet he's now a security officer who will probably never see that kind of crime nor ever have to draw his weapon or shoot it.
