Re: 15 year old with pellet gun mortally shot by SWAT
'Seminole County Sheriff Don Eslinger said the boy was suicidal, vowed to die during the incident and couldn't be talked into surrendering the weapon. Eslinger says Penley was shot after raising the gun at a deputy.'
The boy was suicidle, he obviously knew if he pointed the gun at a cop then they would shoot him, its called suicide by cop. The boy knew what he was doing when he took the pellet gun to school. He vowed to die during incident, he knew what he was doing. And all of you people calling the cop this and that, how about you have a gun pointed at you and tell if its real or not, i gaurentee you wouldn't be able to.
'Authorities said he took to school a pellet gun that closely resembled a 9mm handgun'
The pellet gun CLOSELY resembled a 9mm handgun. If you had a gun on you and then had a gun pointed at you i gaurentee youd consider shooting first for your own protection. The cop was defending the rest of his co-workers and the safety of the public. In calls like that they have to assume its real, and the pellet gun looked very much like a real gun, and if the police department feel their officers or the public are in danger then they are intitled to use force, and it just happened that the force turned out to be lethal. And as for the stun/flash bang when you have a gun pointed at you aint got any time to use a flash bang, what they gonna do while hes pointing the gun go 'oh hold on a min, im just gonna go get a flash bang to distract you so i can get the gun, i'll be back in a min' NO, they have to react the best way in that situation. And for cops being disgusting, well i would think about that, they serve every country in this world, without them society today would be in ruins, without them protecting and serving your country their would be murder's, rapist's, paedophiles, burglars on your streets, without cops they would not be in jail right now. Im sure your think differently when you need the "disgusting" cops when your in need, when your in serious need of help, im sure as hell you'd change your mind then, their nice when it suits init, its people like that who really dont deserve help from the police, why help people like that when they can help someone who actually respect the work they do for your country. Some people hate the police but who are the first people they call when they need help, yeah exactly the police.
