hard to believe the persons life needed to be taken. the young cops in Nevada are trying to prove their worth.

if someone lunged at you while they were drunk and already beating up their wife, had guns in the house, what would you do? you have a split second to react and you dont know if he has a gun or knife hidden on him somewhere.

and also officers are taught in the academy not to use their taser if they are the only officer on scene

Easy for someone that has never been in a situation like that to say. But it's ok. When something scary happens to you, you can just run away and call the cops to save you. After the fact be sure to tell them how you think they should have handled it better.

He should of used a taser but if that didn't work then pull out the gun. It is hard to know if it was excessive force without being there.

Obey the officer's commands (so long as they are reasonable, and it sounds as though they were) and you won't end up dead.

This. Seems like common sense to me.

What a tragedy for everybody concerned. The officer had a legitimate concern with gun cases on the dining table and within reach of the assailant. The officer has a right and responsibility to protect his life and the lives of the others involved. The assailant was drunk and stupid, decided to assault the officer, and got killed for his bad decision -- tragic.

oh, it is just a matter of time before he shoots somebody else now. Cops, UFC loving, tribal tatoo having meatheads. Shoot first, answer question later.

Count me as someone in Nevada not happy with this. I hate cops in general but the police in Nevada are a joke. Just a bunch of young punks who think they are the **** cause they have a badge.

**Cychotiic** · 05-11-2011, 07:27 PM

**** tha police

they may not be the worlds top police agency but you sir are a *******. i love all the hate the police get from the people that have no idea what its like to be a police officer or understand what they go through on a daily basis. if you understood how the police were trained to do their job and the stresses they face on a daily basis you would know where the police are coming from and why they react the way they do. if you were by yourself facing a drunk belligerent that had guns within arms length, and had no backup nearby (even with the SCSO in nevada it can still take more than 10 minutes for them to arrive), please tell me what you would do instead. sure the nevada PD isnt perfect but in a possible life and death situation you are gonna do what it takes to go home at night. DCI exonerated him and that should be enough for people

Tell that to the friends and family of the man killed. I'm sure when his wife called 911 the last thing she expected was an officer coming with an itchy trigger finger.

so a drunk belligerent man being shot by a police officer who had every right to shoot him, constitutes an itchy trigger finger? i love people that believe they know what it takes to be a police officer and the stresses they go through everyday
