Balch police officer guilty of murder

[LOCKHART]

A Texas Ranger friend of mine was involved on the Waco investigation. He told me they found PLENTY of fired 7.62x51 brass around the perimeter. The government said they NEVER fired into the compound! Liar, liars, pants on fire!

 

[Kar98]

Dude, you need to chillax. All I shared was my recent realization that "these two events happened both under Clinton" is wrong.

 

[LOCKHART]

The Waco incident DID happen under him! And if you Google it, there is a newspaper account of Reno going to Clinton with the info, and he approving it! Sorry to give you the news about your, apparently, favorite prez!

 

[Kar98]

Yes, but not "both" which was the assertion. You really need to chillax or you're gonna have a coronary soon, friendo.

 

[LOCKHART]

LOL! Hell, I guess you're right about the coronary! I've said my piece. Carry on!

We are still back at post #11:

I hope every officer hesitates to fire into a moving car. It is incredibly stupid and tactically unsound. Even if you execute a perfect insta-kill head shot, the car is still moving towards the person you thought you were protecting. You have accomplished nothing.

Still waiting four you to explain how shooting into a car solves the problem.

Sometimes firing the shot is the sound, correct, LEGAL choice . . . even though it can't stop all the consequences of the criminal's intentional actions.

And I'm NOT backing up what that Balch Springs officer did, because I really can't. He was wrong.

 

[LOCKHART]

I wouldn't want to be a policeman in the political climate of today. This fellow did wrong, obviously. Two families lives, ruined. And the crap he's gonna face in prison, beside the 15 year sentence, is gonna be hard! I feel for the guy, but I wonder what in hell he was thinking, firing into that car!

Firing at the driver of a car won't stop the car, but it "could" prevent him from intentionally continuing to steer (aim) towards an individual to do them harm.

 

[SloppyShooter]

I watch Walker. Firing at a moving car makes it flip on it's top and burst into flames!!!! Sheesh!!

 

[LOCKHART]

Guess it was lucky it didn't in this case.

 

[SloppyShooter]

An Arlington police officer shot into a moving car today, killing the driver.

This one should go the officers way.

Well not according to Kar98 and Renegade.......
It is a bad tactic don't you know.

That was the excuse used by the cops to justify their murder of Samantha Ramsey. Apparently the cop deliberately leaping onto the hood of her victim's car and executing her through the windshield was equivalent to imminent harm of being struck by a vehicle.

The cops got away with it, naturally.

Never heard of it till you posted. She was drunk and ran over the troopers foot. Maybe that is why he leaped on the car. Her family was happy with a 3.5 million payout so it is all good.

Perspective.

Officers stopped a Chevrolet SUV about 1:45 p.m. Saturday in the 2800 block of South Bowen Road

officers located the SUV in the 2200 block of California Lane.

Soooooo, yeah... that SUV still moved half a mile.

Also:

The driver complied at first but about 10 minutes after the stop, the driver began to roll both windows up and start the vehicle, according to police. The male officer reached inside the passenger window with his left arm and began to give verbal commands as the window continued rolling up

What kind of power windows is GM installing these days? Do they just snap up or what?

Naturally you have not heard of this, it's something the police want to hide.

Running over the foot is a lie. The camera footage shows the car already past the cop and angling away to leave the party when the shooting started off camera. There was zero forensic proof provided by the police to prove the foot injury, they actually back pedaled to saying he was afraid of his foot might be run over (which again is not compatible with the camera footage). Lastly, multiple witnesses contradicted the claims made by the cops, but the word of multiple civilians is totally abrogated by the word of single cop, go figure.

Saying the family is "happy" with the money is absolutely vile, I guarantee they will give it all up to have their daughter back.

So what is your perspective? That any kind of police criminality can be paid off with taxpayer money and it's all good?

Probably not. The quote states the window "as the window continued rolling up" implying that the window was moving at a steady and readonable speed.

Now had it said "as the window snapped shut"...

Right, one would think that. So was the cop's reaction time really that bad then that he got his hand caught in it?

Not sure.

How for up was the window when he attempted to stop it?

Should he have made an attempt to stop him and possible stop the craziness before the suspect left the scene possibly leading to the loss of innocent lives on the road?

Was he trying until the last second to reach the door latch or u lock the door so he might be able to end the situation without it leading to deadly force or putting other innocent lives at risk?

Did he loose his footing and was he attempting to prevent falling and possibly getting caught beneath the vehicle?

Maybe he thought he could break the window as it was going up.

I don't have the answers to these questions. But I don't find the situation to be implausible.

Didn't see the story so dunno what you are talking about. I just know you never answered the question I asked but I am grateful you threw me a bone. Thanks.
