Featured Washington cop shoots skateboard-wielding stepbrothers accused of stealing beer

On the surface, I agree. However....

The original call was regarding two men who had attempted to steal beer, and threw the items at the clerk. When the officer confronted them, they allegedly attacked him with a skateboard.

What part of that says "I deserve respect"?

For the record: the story as it currently stands does NOT support the use of deadly force. I'm reserving full judgment until we've heard from the two accused thieves; and I'm curious to see the investigation results.

 

Previous posts lead me to believe you are a pretty smart person. This isn't one of them. Still, I'm sure you can figure out how someone might disarm a person wielding a skateboard.

P.S. Police receive training in hand-to-hand combat, plus this cop was a veteran of the Afghanistan war.

 

A skateboard to the head could kill you. Please tell me how the officer could disarm the punks wielding skateboards without suffering possible severe injury to himself.

 

This is my take on it as well. It's not clear that both suspects were present when one of them allegedly attacked the cop with the skateboard.

 

I like how the headline implies that these two were shot just for stealing beer. Hello, they both assaulted a clerk and a cop:

Been to that Safeway many many times, it's all on tape. Good luck trying to turn Olympia into Ferguson or Baltimore, there's like fourteen blacks in all of western Washington state. You'll need all the rent-a-mobs and the many white liberals to participate, let's see them loot and commit arson

 

I like how the news article said they threw the beer at the clerks. I pictured them whaling cans of beer at the clerk's heads. Instead the guy kind of lamely offers it up to the clerk as he walks past her.

 

Well, got to go back to work five minutes ago, but here's a link to the tape of these two throwing the case of beer at the clerk:

SPLAT!!!!


Must be bottles - have a good one.

 

Violence begets violence.

 

When will petty thugs learn there are consequesnces for their lawlessness?

They're lucky to be alive. When able , they should look up the police officer and apologize for their behavior.

 

Ya know, somehow I knew I wasn't gonna get a response to that question.
