SMH. read
Shooter was the cops
Moved out of there just in time that place is going down hill fast
The incident did not happen at Outback. The victim was FOUND at Outback.
Yep, I was right in the middle of it coming home from work.
Thanks laura for confirming!!😀
Yes, He is on paid leave…. The police officer, is the shooter. lol
So why was the person shot? Were they shooting at the officers or is this a tactic law enforcement is being trained to use on civilians when perusing someone on foot?
this is my question. Why was the subject shot during a foot chase. Seems odd.
maybe wait until everything is known. all we know is he got shot. Once the report comes out start debating but rn all you can do is guess. My guess is he went for his waistband or something
If you’re stealing cars and running from the police you’ve forfeited your right to be considered a civilian.
They shot first. That is why he was shot.
No dingbat! The cops always shoot people who don’t shoot at them first, especially J walkers (sarcasm). UNBELIEVABLE!
Maybe don’t steal a vehicle or anything else for that matter if you don’t want to risk getting shot? Just a thought.
The criminal was armed with a knife, trying to enter vehicles. So obviously he is a threat to the public and anyone inside that vehicle he’s jumping into. Would you ask the same question if this criminal got into a family/friends vehicle and stabbed them? Learn some common sense. Being a criminal you get anything that hits you and you deserve it.
Sierra Hotel LEO’s for the quick response.
Get to work, taxpayers. We have to pay the medical bills for this upstanding car thief.
I think you mean settlement for the victim after being shot in a foot chase by a police officer.
Yah okay Miller, how’s your brother doing? Cousin? Whatever, I don’t care. Obviously you can’t read, was much more than just a foot chase. You’re a criminal just like this loser if you want to defend him.
Probably another shining example of the catch and release program. No way this was a 1st time offender.
