Fair assessment
His reaction does seem…….odd
I know a couple of guys from the gun range when they talk about self defense it’s almost like they want someone to try and break into their house so they can shoot them. That mentality puzzles me. I’ve had to grab a gun from the safe twice in 32 years of marriage because I thought someone was breaking in. Both times I was thinking the exact opposite and was actually in prayer “Lord let this be nothing.”

My neighbor called for help a few years back. We're out in the boonies and they'd been stealing him blind. He had caught someone red handed without a firearm. He had a dude pinned against a truck with a brush axe. I jumped up and grabbed my gun, told the wife to call 911. I drove over and sure enough he had this guy sitting on the ground next to the drivers side, open door of the bad guys truck. It was all I could do to point the gun toward the guy. As a matter of fact I just couldn't do it. I held it pointed at the ground toward his feet. He was real squirmy wanting to get into his truck. I was afraid he might have a weapon in the truck so I couldn't relax for a second. I was screaming at him to please don't make me shoot him. I was praying the same thing. I remember thinking that if I acted crazy enough he might think I was crazy enough to shoot him so I screamed at him with the craziest eyes I could muster "Don't make me shoot your ass!" I quiver at thought if having to shoot someone.

When you are involved in a shooting, your training takes over but everyone goes into a mini shock. It’s also a physiological effect on the body. Those who say police are going around looking for people to shoot have no understanding of it

Psychopathy vs Sociopathy - Mental Health America of Eastern Missouri

Traits of Sociopathy

Researchers tend to believe that sociopathy is the result of environmental factors, such as a child or teen’s upbringing in a very negative household that resulted in physical abuse, emotional abuse, or childhood trauma.

Sociopaths, in general, tend to be more impulsive and erratic in their behavior than their psychopath counterparts. While also having difficulties in forming attachments to others, some sociopaths may be able to form an attachment to a like-minded group or person. Unlike psychopaths, most sociopaths don’t hold down long-term jobs or present much of a normal family life to the outside world.

When a sociopath engages in criminal behavior, they may do so in an impulsive and largely unplanned manner, with little regard for the risks or consequences of their actions. They may become agitated and angered easily, sometimes resulting in violent outbursts. These kinds of behaviors increase a sociopath’s chances of being apprehended.

So like criminals in general? I agree that many are sociopaths especially when drugs and/or mental illness

Arkansas deputy fired for not activating body camera ahead of teen's fatal shooting

Being able to deactivate a bodycam or dashcam by the police to me should not be allowed. I can understand not wanted to be recorded while on a private phone call or in the bathroom but all too often we see police officers turn off their cameras when something dubious takes place. Technology is easy enough to implement where instead of turning a camera off it continues to record but it takes a judge's order to the manufacturer to unlock the video where it can be seen. If police want transparency they would embrace the technology.

I wonder why the kids were pulled over? Busted taillight or brake light?

I swear, these cops get their rocks off just pulling people over on these pizz ant infractions and just don't realize the danger they put themselves and the public in by pulling these stunts... especially at night. Now you got a two lives ruined, a dead teen and an officer out of work and facing jail time possibly... all over what may end up being something minor and ridiculous.

Cops engage in far, far too many of these damn traffic stops.

When I was a teenager I got pulled over all of the time, usually, and rightfully so for way exceeding the speed limit. Two that especially stick out to me was for one, having a burned out license plate bulb (1 of 2 bulbs) and the other was because someone was tailgating me. Sorry officer you didn't get your big teenager drug bust either time.

Lmao this guy is wrong as usual. I don’t know why you trust what this lunatic says. Again read up on his history and why he hates police. But fear is manifested in different ways with different people. Training overcomes fear a lot on incidents for both police and military

You can make up whatever excuses you want, but when that officer jumped in front of the car he did so to force a confrontation. Then he executed her. The only thing that officer was afraid of, he was afraid he didn’t have enough bullets in his gun to kill the driver. Fear for his life my ASS!

you really are an emotionally driven person aren't you? Not only are you jumping to all kinds of conclusions, you are incorrect from a legal standpoint

I don't know anything about his past, but what does that have to do with what he said in the video?

No, I am not an emotionally driven person. I don’t give a damn what the law says, what the DA says, or what you say about it. It was murder plain and simple. The fact that you continue to make excuses for that behavior says a lot about you.

Aren't you the one making excuses for a woman with a criminal history violently trying to kill a police officer?

Violently trying to kill a police office-😂😂😂😂
You make me laugh. He jumped out to shot her.
As I said before, if this was my daughter that a cop executed, we would have one less cop in the world. Now go play with your gun and your old badge so you can feel important again.

Since when does prior criminal history matter at all for folks? And I am really getting tired of you dishing out death and judgment dependent on your opinion. If you can not prove guilt for someone. Frankly, shut the hell up.
