Video: Cop SHOOTS At Minivan Full of Children

From my seat, the officer shooting appeared to come up from the rear and possibly didn’t know that there were children in the car (but I was trying to sneak and watch on my slow a$$ iPhone at my desk)… additionally, the fact that he was squatting as he shot, no windows were shot out, in addition to the fact that no one in the car was shot suggests to ME that he was indeed aiming for the tires.

I have a problem with police shooting to kill because I don’t see the need, but in a situation like this, where a broad was clearly ignorant and out of control – who knows WHERE her head was at that moment? Had she been one of those broads on the brink of suicide and drove herself, and those kids to their deaths, this story would be much different.

Do I think that cops had that scenario in mind when he shot at those tires? No… but I also don’t think the goal was to hurt anybody because if it had been, I believe someone would’ve been hit, or we would’ve seen glass shattering from at least one of those bullets.

In addition to my issues with protocol as it relates to HOW police are trained to deal with circumstances – I also have a problem with people who look at wrong, ignore it and focus on the wrong $hit.

For you, you are setting a tone FOR your black, teenaged son by defying authority, particularly the cops. Had she been a black MAN, she likely would’ve actually BEEN shot (and rightly so) but because she was a woman, he probably struggled with her ignorant a$$ a little longer than he would’ve a guy.

The problem I see, and the mistake she made was in teaching her son that resisting arrest and driving off after cops pull your stupid a$$ over, is a good idea – EVER. When HE starts driving and remembers how stupid his mammy is/was and tries the same thing; $hit will get real REAL quick.

Had that officer seen him running toward him to protect his mother and he shot HIM dead, she would’ve been culpable in my eyes. The son saw it as him protecting his mother from a perceived threat, from that officer’s prospective, he saw a PERSON running toward him when he was already trying to restrain one a$$hole.

I can’t say for certain what I would’ve done in that situation, but I can suggest that it would’ve likely ended up with somebody’s mama cryin THAT day!

She was wrong from every different angle and it pains me to see people looking at the “wrong” the officers did, while totally ignoring how this situation could’ve turned out had this ignorant broad taken into consideration how this could’ve turned out.

Sandra Rose says:

Still, shooting at the tires of a vehicle going at a high rate of speed could have caused it to go out of control and wreck causing injuries to the children. At some point common sense has to prevail. This is not the wild Wild West

Right, but a high speed chase could’ve had the same result.

At the end of the day, cops don’t give a damn about you OR your kids, so if anyone had incentive to use common sense, it was HER!

As a parent, there is no way on earth I would put my child in danger by going on a high speed chase with him in the car… That’s the “common sense” in me as a man concerned about my child’s safety first and THEN mine!

I wouldn’t even put him in a position to SEE me man-handled by cops because I don’t want that image indelibly imprinted into his mind… So, that’s how my cooler head would handle that.

I don’t think cops were right here… I just find it ironic that we’re looking past what and who STARTED this… And going directly to the end result.
