In Seattle, they're thanking the San Francisco police for good marksmanship

Less than a week after the slaying of a South Seattle teenager, a lot of people in the Jet City are offering thanks to the San Francisco Police Department for the marksmanship skills of the officers who fatally shot the suspect in that girl's murder in a gunfight Saturday stemming from an attempt to ride the subway there without paying.

this should be a regular feature I tried to find out how many rounds it took the SFPD guys to take him out. Compare to the "lead in the air you got a prayer" policy of the Portland PD

a pimp and a murderer at 18 we will miss him!

San Franciscans outraged,, say no more, I fully understand. The haight, the whore of it all. He ran there to be among his own kind and good riddance. A big shout of "NICE SHOT" to the LEO that took him!

The "bubblegum" was a hominem that sounds like horror, but spelled like,,,, well you know.

Among many other things. Hopefully they dig a little deeper into his juvenile record.

Glad to hear he assumed room temperature.

So instead of returning fire and shooting him, maybe the police should have shown some compassion and let him go. Then he could have visited some of the local residents. Violent felons running amok aren't what I want where I live.

I'm surprised SFPD is ALLOWED to have guns, let alone use them at all! Those hippie freaks are too demented to know right from wrong in the first place, for the most part. I shouldn't generalize ALL SF'ians, but there sure are a lot of gun-haters.

Thanks SFPD for ridding the world of another heartless dreg of society

Did anyone see the video? Pretty chaotic. I'm glad police kept their calm in what I would construe as a "riot". &#x202a;San Francisco Police Shooting - Spectator Video - 07/16/11 - *GRAPHIC*&#x202c;&rlm; - YouTube

Six feet should be enough digging......

Six feet should be enough digging......

Amen!

 

[fyrediver]

And here's a witness stating that the man was armed and the gun was stolen from the scene: &#x202a;SFPD Shooting - Man Was Armed - 07/16/11&#x202c;&rlm; - YouTube

Interestingly, he doesn't feel safe about identifying himself. That tells quite a tale about the crowd and neighborhood. The truth is irrelevant to those people.

Story changing rapidly about South Seattle shooting, ‘person of interest’

Faster than one can crank out a newspaper, the details surrounding the fatal shooting of a so-called “person of interest” in a South Seattle homicide by San Francisco police over the weekend are changing, leaving one to ponder whether the dead man, Kenneth Wade Harding, had any connection to the slaying of Tanaya Gilbert last week.

Hey Paul, I believe the exact wording of that policy is, "Stop or I'll reload."

The city of San Francisco was at one time clean and safe. Whenever I was at Treasure Island I would freguently go to SF just to walk the hills and I always felt safe.
Since the SF has become a dirty, filth filled town. The streets are nasty, and most of the city only marginally safe. I will never visit San Francisco again.
A real shame because it was one of 3 cities in the world I have really enjoyed.

Police Kill Teenager After Shooting Him 5 Times In Back And While Laying Face Down On Street

So what really happened?

 

[One-Eyed Ross]

IF (big word there) the police story holds up, I think it was a good job. IF there was a gun involved and someone else picked it up and walked away with it, they were justified... The problem here is that neither side has a reputation for honest encounters with the other, so....

 

[Sasquatchvnv]

No gun or spent casings recovered at the scene - but hey - I found the gun later... Pretty weak story if you ask me. Watching the video on the above post is kind of compelling.
