Police kill man holding a hammer- video

[HeroesFall]

No one else saw the irony of a guy na med "bustacapp" from the UK being anti-gun?



I like how people came into this thread to say this scenario was different or more cut and dry than Trayvon, Brown, or whatever other cases in the past few years spurred riots, looting, and the BLM bullchit, and yet no one was actually harmed by the peep within recent time frame of this event. Dude got shot because of potential threat. Other cases there was blood on the concrete and / or dude rushed the cop.

Racism is real and it ain't just whitey or the cops. DaMN man. MLK probably rolling in his grave. When will people just be seen as people and not us vs them?

[DrFlexologist]

damn...they hammered him

[patriotmazz]

He was told to drop the hammer several times. What if he had thrown it at the cops head and it killed him?

[Pterodactyl314]

Guess it wasn't hammer time

[PrivilegeCheker]

The guy was an idiot but then when you're drunk you don't always make the best decisions.

Police have tasers right? Why is the lethal option almost always the first option with some US cops?

Because the government is very clear on this. Do what we say or we will kill you and your dog.


It's like the founding fathers would have wanted.

Half of you must live in a mystical land of right or wrong. There actually exists an in between. I will say this will only bring more distrust in my community towards law enforcement, a community that already was losing trust before.

[NattyAmerica]

Read this as Hamster and felt bad for the little guy.

He was a registered sex offender.

[FannySkelper]

Ban hammers

this guy got the banner hammer, from life. Permaban

[bjjruinedmylife]

Why isnt anyone commenting about him holding the ulyimate tradie tool. The hammer.

If he was holding a calculator he would still be alive today. Cops dont wanna shoot stem brehs.

In tradie camp we have a saying... You live by the trades you die by the trades.

[SaltyDog920]

He was a good boy. An honor student. He was the highschool football star and a kind hearted kid. He would have given you the shirt off his back. He didn't need to die like this. They could have shot the hammer out of his hand.

[SaltyDog920]

He's not black, no protests, his life doesn't matter, move along.

His privilege allowed him to not be shot 20+ times.

And if this was a white dude, the cops wouldn't have shot him.

Why are people who willingly take up such a 'dangerous' job always so afraid?

If only someone like you joined the police force, you'd make such a huge difference in situations like this...

[zilaniz]

LOL at how they handled that situation and LOL at the miscers who think this was perfectly fine. It was a drunk dude with a poverty hammer all the way across the garage from them, the one officer had the right idea with the taser, other two were dumb-asses.

irrelevant, cops aren't judges/moral police.

Drunk people with hammers aren't dangerous?

not enough to shoot dead

[x-trainer ben]

Game, Set, Match!

Whatever makes you feel special.

[x-trainer ben]

I don't need anything to feel special , i lift, i was just laughing at all of the "hammer time" excuses put forward by so many here. Why is it that an average civilian sees options while those that are specifically trained see none?

We are not in Iraq or Afghanistan

Speaking of which.

In Afghanistan, there was a mentally ill guy with a knife threatening to stab me the last time I was over there. He was far enough away that I didn't feel the need to shoot him and I didn't.

That's all.

[dsgb610]

That there ugly side of drinking. Nothing really they could have done otherwise unless they had a taser. Dude could have easily thrown that hammer at one of the cops faces. They aren't gonna wait for that to happen before taking action.

yeah I heard he was related to Thor bro. Better watch out man he is nasty with that Hammer.

Wtf is the the 2nd century..

Because civilians have never been put in this situation before.

[gixxer0.6g]

Looked like a good way to get shot. I can't figure out why it's so hard to some people just to do what you're told. Especially when that someone has a gun pointing at you.
Suicide by cops.
Self defense by the police.
Case closed.

[Tha big kahoona]

No tasers? Awfully hard to throw/swing a hammer if you got a few thousand volts coursing through you.

Agree with poster right above me, though, nothing of value was lost

Yeah, nothing of value, just a life. No biggie.

[Dave22reborn]

Yes, all life is precious...

[x-trainer ben]

So what is the need for training, if you are going to shoot first, delete the training. Shoot near him, wait him out, spray him, what other options are there from the misc?
Suggestions misc other than 5 bullets?

Wow, shoot near him now? How about they just shoot the hammer of out of his hand like the movies? Pepper spray indoors, what a genius idea, what could go wrong with spraying pepper spray indoors?
