I hope I never get the cops called on me by a troll because I will definitely be shot and killed.

Why? Can't follow a simple order of keeping your hands up

Yeah. I have a sneaking suspicion I may be a little nervous, upset and confused in such a situation and not just drop to my knees with my hands up in subservience. I forgot it's the civilian's responsibility to know how to survive a police encounter. We need to be the calm, controlled party.


I mean when a cop tells you keep your hands where i can see them and you decide to you know go to your waistband theyre going to shoot...esp when theyre responding to an active shooter and hostage situation

This suggests most people blindsided by a high stress situation will react calmly and logically. You'd think trained police officers would understand the human psyche.


Oh stfu trained police officers know that guns are kept around the waistband so when u respond to an active shooter and hostage situation and you see the suspect not follow simple orders and reach for his waistband ...chances are theyre getting shot.

I know hating cops is cool and all but use logic

It's not like he did it intentionally to piss the cops off or make a threatening gesture.

From his perspective, he had absolutely zero reason to believe that he was the suspect in a reported crime.


Doesnt matter cops pointing guns at u and tell u keep ur hands up...you do it.

Like who ovee the age or 13 doesnt know this

I hate that a man lost his life but come on the cop really didn't "murder" the person for no reason


At this point I'm not arguing whether or not the cop "murdered" the person but I also feel like the guy here is receiving blame for his "action" of lowering his hand.

It is logical to assume untrained civilians will not immediately act logical in such a situation. There's a chance of confusion, fear, uneasiness, etc. You'd think police would have figured this out 6000+ years into human civilization.

Its not so much blame...but more so a consequence of his actions. Which is down right unfortunate but ya

Actually, I have taken my hands away from where a cop can see them when pulled over and not gotten shot, so maybe I should be worried that I am still alive. Means an incompetent police officer is walking free. I didn't even get a ticket and I was breaking the law.

That's the problem though. He wasn't an active shooter with hostages -_-. So from his perspective it's not a clear cut case of "just follow the cop instructions", because from his perspective he had done nothing wrong and had given (in his mind) no reason for the cops to open fire on him.

I know it's a really terrible misunderstanding, but I don't get this "the guy was dumb for not following orders" mentality.

Finch was gunned down on Thursday night after cops believe Barriss told a 911 dispatcher that he had shot his father and was holding his mother and younger brother hostage

It was a real stop and this guy wasn't an active shooter. Now tell me is that cop bad and is it wrong that I wasn't shot or at least dragged away in cuffs?

Thats called hindsight. Cops were unaware. And it doesnt matter if you done nothing wrong. When an officer gives you a simple command you just follow it. Its like the easiest thing to do. So yeah not following the police officers orders wasnt the smartest thing to do

.

So what you're saying is the guy was just fucked? Obviously a human being is going to get emotional when suddenly being treated as a crazed murderer because a troll got mad at him on Call of Duty and obviously cops have to fire at even a hint of non-compliance, so nothing could have prevented this. I guess that means the Swatter really should be charged with first-degree murder. Are you also trying to suggest that no one who has been swatted before has ever even shown a hint of emotional reaction before this guy?

It literally has everything to do with it. Cops didnt know he wasnt an active shooter til afterwards and you're only speaking on the fact that you knew he wasnt an active shooter.

Now the only reason why you know he wasnt an active shooter is.....hindsight.

You lack the capability to put yourself in the officers shoes before knowing the victim was innocent.

Then again you also said a cop should shoot someone in a nonlethal area which is just dumb fucking movie logic

Not everyone is a sociopath like you. Some of us have emotions in stressful situations. And this poor individual was thrown into an incredibly far more stressful situation where he was falsely accused. Again, I guess I now must tread very lightly online because I will assuredly be killed if I am swatted. Guess It's time to get that life insurance.

Let's put this scenario out there.

Let's say this was a legit hostage situation and the unfortunate victim really shot and killed his dad.

If he was shot by the cop, the cop is a hero. No one complains about his action.

Unfortunately this wasn't the case, BUT it's the case the entire squad believed they were in. They had zero idea this was a horrible prank that went too far.

You cannot possibly blame the cop for doing what he did given the circumstances.

The usual suspects are out in full force using hindsight to crucify someone who has zero fault.

100% of the blame goes to the shit stain swatter.

And yes, the cop is absolutely a victim as well. He has to live with shooting and killing an innocent man for the rest of his life. While you other shit stains try to paint it like he woke up that morning looking to shoot someone.

Non of you clowns ever stop to put yourself into those shoes or wait for more information.

Its easy for everyone behind their computers to say what the cops and victim should have ideally done. 99% of people here have never and will never be put into life-threatening extreme stress situations like this. Most people have never had a gun pointed at them, or even held a gun before. Of course, the cop shouldn't have shot but the victim also shouldn't have let down his hands. IMO neither is to blame tho. Its very unfortunate, but casualties like this do happen in these sorta situations just like friendly fire in war. Cops aren't superheroes, they're just people like us. And stress in these sorta situations affects them the same way it affects us and the victim.

You can point the finger at the cop, saying he's a murderer. you can say what the victim should or shouldn't have done. but regardless, at the end of the day, there will always be one party who will always be 100% at fault and thats the "Swatter"

You can point the finger at the cop, saying he's a murderer. you can say what the victim should or shouldn't have done. but regardless, at the end of the day, there will always be one party who will always be 100% at fault and thats the "Swatter"

You're doing that "making sense" thing. Stahp it.

Imagine ruining your life over a $1.50 bet

he's going away for life

In the interview, the man claims that he had also called in bomb threats to the Federal Communications Commission and an events center in Dallas. He also said he did not feel entirely responsible for Finchs death because he did not pull the trigger.

Being sent out on a false call doesn't absolve a police officer of their part in shooting an innocent man. If you think that it does, you're a child or an imbecile.

You people literally can not judge them. As far as they knew they were facing an armed and very dangerous person. This man walks out and suddenly puts his hand towards his waist and you expect them to be ok with this? Idiot didn't follow basics fucking instructions. DO. NOT.MOVE. Any sudden movements and they're gunna shoot you. How is this in anyway their fault?

you make it sound like he chose to disobey consciously. he didn't. he was confused and didn't understand what was happening. the fact they were police didn't process in his brain and he wasn't hearing what they were saying cause when like 10 guns are aimed at you, I think you go deaf kindof, out of shock.

it's easy to victim blame. let's see how well you perform when your in your home and then go to answer the door and 3 seconds later you see armed men screaming at you. everyone expects the victim to perform perfectly and give them death when they make a mistake. but the cops? oh no. the poor cops can make all the mistakes they want.... that's what you sound like

Let's put this scenario out there.

Let's say this was a legit hostage situation and the unfortunate victim really shot and killed his dad.

If he was shot by the cop, the cop is a hero. No one complains about his action.


I mean people keep saying this, but if there was a hostage situation, and that guy was a dude who managed to escape and run out the door, he literally just killed a hostage.

The officer's reaction to this is completely unwarranted.

They shouldn't be so trigger happy. Dude was like 20 meters away with no visible weapons. Unless you're a scrub and thus shouldn't be a policeman, he can't reach, grab his weapon, and fire before you do.

Cops need to be less trigger happy. They signed up to uphold peace and protect. Not to kill.

Also the cop only discharged one shot... If they thought it was a legitimate threat they theoretically would have fired more, unless it was meant to be a warning shot in which case his aim was pretty bad.

That is not even funny to think about

I mean I'm not trying to make a joke at all, I am just confused why only one shot would have been fired if they thought it was a legitimate threat.

Sorry, I didn't mean "joke" in a "haha" way.

I meant that "if your premise were true" (and your logic makes sense) ... that just makes cop's actions all the more heinous.

You and others have a vendetta against cops and law enforcement. That's cool.

But stop moving goal posts to vilify someone who wouldn't have been in this position had the shit head not made a prank call to police and claimed they had hostages and had already killed someone.
