Really? You're gonna focus on two sentences I said at the beginning, and ignore everything else? I don't care if it was about guns or gangs or anything else.
So what if the crowd wasn't being unruly? They sure were piling off the MAX, and that presented a situation where they could become unruly and the situation could become out of control..
Do you think all the cops rallying behind Humphreys are dirtbags too? Should we fire the entire Bureau because of your armchair police work? I'd like to hear your thoughts on that (the bulk of my post) instead of focusing on the first two sentences..

Also, as mentioned earlier... the officer recognized the girl, which means that they entered the platform anticipating the removal of a 12yr old girl from the train.
Or, they entered the platform anticipating the removal of this 12yr old girl from the train. Perhaps the officers prior encounters with this 12 year old girl, and possibly her friends lead them to believe that a less-than-lethal tool would be good to have along?
And that "They would have had to fight her for another minute or so..." idea, remember, that that was the MO that got the last guy killed.

Would you not agree, after watching the tape, that things would have gone down better if he had left the shotgun in the car and used his hands to cuff the girl instead of waiting for an opportunity to shoot her?
Well, I personally dont believe that Chasse was accidentally killed while being cuffed.
No, I would not agree to that statement. Things would have gone better if she had not violently resisted the officers. Or maybe he could have used a Taser. That would have worked. But ultimately, I have seen nothing to convince me that anyone other than the violent felon (uh, attacking a police officer and violently resisting arrest, those are felonies, right?) is responsible for what happened that night.
"But . . . but . . . he's a bad man that cop! He killed someone!"
Maybe, but totally irrelevant. I know a lot of folks have issues with the way PDP does things, and I'm not saying that I know everything about the good and the bad things they do. But this as a cause celebre? Don't see it.
Or wait, I did figure out who else is responsible! Her parents!!
ETA
So what do you believe?
First off, he shot her in the thigh, not the head, neck, torso or groin. Second of all, your expert lives and works on the East Coast in DC. They weren't there, and I would be willing to bet that he is not familiar with PPB policy and procedure. From everything I've read, Humphreys actions fell withing PPB guidelines for using the beanbag shotgun.
I'm a youth pastor and I have been for almost 10 years. I have never come across a 12y.o. girl I'd need to use any sort of weapon on. I'm 6'1" and 290lbs and proficient at Brazilian Jiu Jitsu so that may have something to do with it, but I can imagine there are some out there, somewhere who could put up a bit of a fight(unless they have a gun... then I become the 12y.o. girl). Still it seems like it may have been a little extreme to blast her with a Bean Bag round. I wasn't there though and don't know the circumstances surrounding this event. I hope these guys are cleared. Is there a link to the video or the arrest report?
Ah..but it sounds like, it'd be okay to kick the cr*p out of here with your "Brazilian Jiu Jitsu."
