Think of it this way. If your speeding in a 35 by going 45 and cops don't turn the lights on but follow you onto the highway where you speed to 65 in a 55 and still don't turn the lights on but wait until you hit 90 in a 75 then decide to attempt to pull you over by doing a pit manuver which leads to the "perps" death.
Maybe the cops shoulda just pulled the guy over when he was in the 35mph zone.....maybe just a ticket or warning.
See that's my logic. Cops need to do a job policing not "stinging" citizens or targeting anyone.
See a crime, do your job.
Yep...spot on.
That's far from an apples to apples analogy and doesn't apply here. It will just have to be your little secret to law enforcement that LE should never go after anything bigger than street level crimes. The "he was a victim" agument and apologist rhetoric here is getting tired, but I'm sure you're just stirring the pot.

I never said it was (quite the opposite as a matter of fact). Just as this wasn't a shining example of law enforcement, it is absolutely not a shining example of what used to be considered journalism. From completely failing to report who Eric Courtney Harris really was and what he was doing, failing to correctly identify the agency involved, and doing an abysmal job of explaining what a reserve deputy in the state of Oklahoma actually is, I'm surprised they can get their own names right. The media reporting on this case is simply Godawful and there's no excuse for their shoddy reporting standards.
Perhaps they should in this case? That's about the only way the media would be forced to report who he really was and what he was doing. The reason you can't find any links to even a half-assed news report that will tell you what was going down, is because not one single outlet gives a half ass about reporting all the relevant facts. They came for the sensationalism and you've allowed them to spoon feed it to you. Confirmation bias much?
What's more troublesome is how many of you don't even care how bad the media has fubar'd this story.
It's fairly easy to get beyond the journalism problem, the blue line thing is much more problematic.
You gotta wonder how this was deemed justified.
Uh, why not just threaten to cuff the guy and see if he took the top of his own head off.

We see things different. I seen a guy get shot by a reserve deputy. That shouldn't have ever happened. That's the injustice. That's the possible crime. When the guy died of his injuries suffered at the hands of Law Enforcement, that make them responsible for his death.
Every conflict has 2 sides. You are seeing one side and judging by that information. As Paul Harvey always talked about "the other side of the story"
I would like to have all of the information, not just a small piece of it, before I make a decision.
It is sad that he got shot, and it appears to have other problems. Before you are judge, jury, and executioner, you need to have the whole story!
