^^^^what he said.
I can't believe what I see. I wonder if the gun went off accidentally. That is the only way I can see this happening.
all the best to the poor paralyzed victim.
I don't expect you to accept our culture based on your upbringing, but staying armed did manage to help us keep the redcoats out.I'm sorry,but it really does underline the crazy gun culture in the States.
I can't imagine being in the position where every arguement,traffic stop,getting out of bed the wrong side etc,could end up with people dying as an every day thing.
The Gun laws make it so the Police's first instinct is that they have to assume that whoever they stop may well be armed
The above in no way justifies shooting someone in the back however.
And we Americans have guns because we let in every degenerate from every other country..........and because we can, don't be jealous, just move here like everyone else. (joke, no burning needed)

Wait, you can't see this as being the result of an over-zealous and over-aggressive police officer?
This is why I'm so critical of cops. Sure many of them are great, but even when they get close to grey zones they need to be held to very high standards. They hold the power of life and death (and paralysis in this case) in their hands.
Poor rider dude. Paralyzed for life for having his hand on his thigh. So terrible.
This cop should have the book thrown at him and then stripped of all pension and barred from the force.
But all I could think about was this video as we were getting pulled over.[/QUOTE]
I don't blame you and you're probably not the only one who will.
Like I said, there will be some bad apples, fortunately your cop was cool. I mean you had nothing bad to say. Really, not one thing?
Thanks for the story.
Yeah, written language, spoken, also I noticed.=GConn;320962]DISCLAIMER: Since written language can be misunderstood, I am not attacking anyone Just sharing my opinion
Looks like a case of "shoot first, ask questions later".
Good thing the guy survived, or it would be murder instead of assult.
