Incidents like these are rare, though.

2018-04-07 18:15:39 UTC  

somewhat.

2018-04-07 18:16:40 UTC  

i'm sure they are... but i really prefer to chit chat with a police officer during a traffic stop 😄

2018-04-07 18:18:11 UTC  

But, I mean, most people do.

2018-04-07 20:54:20 UTC  

News only reports bad things.

2018-04-07 22:30:14 UTC  

Also, it's really one of those situations where it's easy to *say* "oh I can see that he's just bringing out a wallet", and actually being there in-person.

2018-04-07 22:30:47 UTC  

There's a reason you're instructed to not do anything such as make quick movements for your pockets in front of police officers.

2018-04-07 22:32:57 UTC  

When you're pulled over, don't move around a lot and just keep your hands on the steering wheel, etc.

2018-04-07 22:35:17 UTC  

And yeah, when you actually see the video that was taken, you'll see that he was clearly freaked out. He was clearly not ready to be out on active duty yet.

2018-04-07 22:38:25 UTC  

He was not. He said for the guy to get his wallet then freaked out when he did as asked.

2018-04-07 22:39:01 UTC  

I don't know how to respond to that other than to say that no, he was?

2018-04-07 22:39:06 UTC  

He clearly was if you saw that video.

2018-04-07 22:39:38 UTC  

Unless you're trying to say he was putting on some kind of act?

2018-04-07 22:45:36 UTC  

When in doubt, say specifically what you're going to do, then do so, slowly. If that isn't good enough, get out of the car.

2018-04-07 22:46:40 UTC  

Ask before you do anything.

2018-04-07 22:47:05 UTC  

I agree it shouldn't be this way, but this is more a matter of police training than it is anything else.

2018-04-07 22:47:44 UTC  

Indeed, the fact that officers in the US only get half a year's worth of training before they hit the streets is absolutely incomprehensible to me.

2018-04-07 22:47:58 UTC  

Becoming an officer over here is literally getting a Bachelor's degree, and takes at least three years.

2018-04-07 22:52:23 UTC  

same here... and one of the hardest jobs to get.

2018-04-07 23:02:42 UTC  

@JadenFrostwolf I was agreeing that the cop was not ready for active duty. He asked for the guy to give him info, so he was getting his info. The cop freaked out that the dude was slowly reaching for his info and started to scream don't reach for "it", and it was clear to both parties that "it" meant the gun and the driver said "I'm not". This cop was clearly not in a good state of mind to be out on patrol.

2018-04-07 23:05:23 UTC  

Yeah, I read that convo, it was more just a general statement than specifically addressed to you, sorry. lol

2018-04-07 23:06:22 UTC  

It was a generalized 'you', not a *you* 'you.'

2018-04-07 23:06:37 UTC  

*Checks to make sure that makes sense.*

2018-04-07 23:06:41 UTC  

..yeah..

2018-04-07 23:17:51 UTC  

TL;DR:4 people break into house, cops show up, one robber starts shooting at the cops, cops fire back, killing him. Now one of the other remaining 3 is being sentenced to 65 years for the robbery and a count of murder... Of the robber killed by the police.

2018-04-07 23:22:08 UTC  

Was he the leader of the group?

2018-04-07 23:23:08 UTC  

I learned in class that they'll sometimes pin any other crimes committed by the others on the ringleader, but I don't remember that applying to the police.

2018-04-07 23:25:41 UTC  

An accomplice law that basically said anyone who participated in a crime could be held accountable for murder should a death occure.

2018-04-07 23:26:59 UTC  

Why just one of the teens, though, and not all of them?

2018-04-07 23:29:39 UTC  

Oh, 'cause he didn't take the plea bargain. I guess the other two did.

2018-04-07 23:30:18 UTC  

Idk, my assumption is that this guy just got the largest sentence so I would guess that the other 2 might have.

2018-04-07 23:30:30 UTC  

Would have to look into the records for the other two.

2018-04-07 23:31:14 UTC  

Says the others have not been sentenced yet so that's why

2018-04-09 02:14:04 UTC  

so you guys ready for world war 3?

2018-04-09 02:14:16 UTC  

didint really think it would start on my birthday

2018-04-09 02:16:24 UTC  

whats happened now?

2018-04-09 02:23:50 UTC
