Other State Police Shooting in San Francisco...no bueno

[Meridian7750]

Video released of San Francisco officer shooting fleeing suspect


Don't know if this has already been reviewed/ discussed.
Passing no judgement, but doesn't look good for the cop, in my opinion. And I am a strong supporter of LE.
I'll let others judge the merit of the shoot, but what really struck me was the immediate, hostile reaction by the thugs and trouble-makers in the area. They absolutely showed no fear of the police, nor "respect" for the severity of the situation. And, I must admit, the SFO police were pretty ineffective, initially at least, in preventing the situation from possibly escalating in a big way.
Again, regardless of whether the first shoot was justified, I almost think the cops should have unloaded on some of those fools. Immediate threat, disparity of force, and all that...
Stay frosty out there...these things are blowing up quickly these days.

Well the cop said he had a gun? Never know with all those people around it would disappear pretty fast. So the cop is pretty safe on this one.

Latest news report shows a Glock w extended magazine and laser sight found at the scene.

It was hard to see on camera what was going on, but shooting armed gang members in the back is ok.

I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle....

Should of maced the whole crowd when they did not back up like ordered. As far as a good shoot that's a tuff one imo.

If the suspect did have a gun and started running away is the LEO expected to wait and face him?

Hey, just what you see pal.

Barcenas was a documented gang member who was shot in 2012 when he pulled a gun on police, according to the station.

WTF is he doing out on the street in 2018 then?????

 

[shibbershabber]

wow.

Thats pretty bad...

Regardless of the legitimacy of the shooting, that whole thing was handled poorly...

Not so much the officer who did the shooting, I think he handled himself well enough, especially after shooting someone... having his life/career/future flash before his eyes..... not to mention whatever moral issues..... then to be surrounded by an angry mob yelling at him and pushing him.... WTF!?

The other officers responding were completely uncoordinated and unprofessional. The first one with the "broken radio" seemed like he was just throwing in the towel... not running to his car, etc... the rest of them walking all over the body, failing to control the crowd....

Geeeez... Id hate to be a cop in a place like that.

That city will get EXACTLY what it deserves.... pretty soon gangs of cannibals will be conducting random flash-mob open-pit BBQ's in the street.

I bet the stereotypical San Francisco resident would be....tender.

It's ok. They'll be vegan bbq's. Appearantly they only eat each other

So, being Kalifornia and all, I suspect that the corner thug fleeing from police had a concealed weapons permit?

Yea, I didn't think so...

And based upon the information that a firearm was retrieved from the scene, good shoot.

As for the crowd, I'm in agreement, pepper spray the entire crowd if the refuse to back off when told to do so.

But it shows the inner city mob mentality we face today. Stay alert, stay armed....

 

[nwslopoke]

I couldn't see from the video but my only issue would be if the man fleeing was making any attempt to get the gun before shots were fired.

Admittedly, the guy shot did many stupid acts leading up to getting shot. Lucky the cop is alive and the bad guy gad an extra scary looking gun. One would think California gang bangers would be more respectful of their laws.

 

[shibbershabber]

This is obviously fake news and completely staged video...

That magazine is not legal in CA..... nice try...
