  • Looked like he reached into his bag to grab a peaceful flower and the cops just shot him dead. This is a conspiracy, I tell you.

    • @Solar23 Did you see the cop on the left shooting at random people, he wasn't even pointing at the bad guy

    • @MrRolLexus It does look like he's pointing left of the bad guy. People need to watch the video a few more times and they will notice it as well.

    • @MrRolLexus Look at the cop who is next to the bush/plant, it looks like he is shooting at the wrong people. They did say civilians were shoot by stray police bullets but who really knows?

    • @Solar23 Yea. Wrong. He only shot his boss. The innocent civilians that were shot, were all hit by POLICE bullets. The cops shot them due to their poor marksmanship.

  • Shooting your boss and getting killed by cops feels more like a Monday morning thing. Definitely not a Friday night thing.

  • If you are the kind of person who would kill another because they played a part in you losing your job, you are probably the kind of person i would play a part in having you lose your job.

    Its not rocket science, you lost your job because you are a wacko.

    • @flip Well, it's coming out now that he had filed complaints against this boss for bullying and also the boss assaulted him at some point. There is probably more to this story than meets the eye.

    • @trailertrashrnr They didn't even get shot. Just hit with debris from the ricochet. Whiney New Yorkers, just looking for someone to sue.

    • @lastmanindetroit Well, I heard it on ABC news, so, yah it's suspect. Actually the reporter bitch kinda corrected herself after saying police shot 9 citizens, she suddenly changed gears and said, I need to emphisize that some of the wounded citizens were hit by flying debris like from flower pots and paint on the buildings. Yup, she actually said that. So,, I think your right and she's a lying bitch. Thanks.

  • That was a pretty shitty death. I mean he's got to put some enthusiasm into it, don't just fall down, roll over, and die. Fall on your ass, get a stunned look on your face, and slump over dead in a sitting position. Or go down like a sack of shit and start twitching. Beg for momma, ask for water, play with your your newly exposed intestines... JUST DO SOMETHING GODDAMMIT. Take two.

    • @Tinderbox A gay ladies purse designer shoots his gay lover/boss and people talk about stripping away more liberty? I guess we should outlaw cars too. (Way more people died in car accidents yesterday than by bullets).

  • Our police department routinely invites citizens to participate in our shoot/don't shoot scenarios (A video system that places you in real life situations where you need to decide when to shoot and when not to shoot). We have a failure rate of 95%. The police departments failure rate is 6%. Most citizens either shoot the wrong person, shoot their partner in the back, or are killed by the second scenario. I relax myself by remembering this while listening to the idiotic ramblings of the Monda More..

      When you end up injuring 9 innocent people for the 1 that you were actually aiming at it should make you take a long hard look at the tactics and training you are using.

      Moreover if you have any sense you would see that the "hatred" that people feel for law enforcement is there for a reason. BOTH of my parents were police officers and as much as I know there are many good officers out there even I find a good amount of disdain for a lot of police in this country.

      If More..

      Panic I would guess, would have been better to just follow him until he could be taken down by a plane clothed officer coming the other way.
