Tony D. Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 If an unarmed 6'4" teen tried to get Crockett or Tubb's gun away from them would they have used their weapons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavinsky Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) is that what happened there? I guess best thing would have been for them to mace them, like I remember don doing to some guy who axed his cuda on Nash Bridges. on the other hand I wasnt there and 6 foot 4 is 6 inches above the usual height and who knows how strong the kid was. as I've been out of the loop on this, as I'm making a point not to check headlines or watch the news anymore as its either pissing me off or making me sad frankly. or angry at the news media for not respecting the privacy of a family who lost their kid to a terrible accident up here on the kids birthday, now that was truly terrible.

Pink Flaming0 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 He was 6'4" 250lbs and rushing towards the cop. The cop did what he had to do and what he was trained to do. Put down the threat. Crockett would have done the same thing. To Protect and Serve. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any police officer who had a 6'4" 250-300 pound person aggressively trying to wrestle their gun away from them, while allegedly punching them in the face at the same time, should be able to respond with deadly force.

Tony D. Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 The latest I've heard is there's a fracture to the cop's right eye facial bone. There is still a lot of information to hear before we 'rush to judgment'. Crockett is short & lightweight so I think he would have used his weapon. I can't imagine a cop shooting a kid who supposedly was on his knees & his hands up, unless he was insane and didn't care about throwing his career down the toilet. There were people who would have witnessed this so-called "execution!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that hasn't stopped the lying hypocrite Sharpton and others from piling on the other side for personal gain, and remember this so called "kid" was video'd strong arming a store clerk and stealing from him.

You're referring to Rev Al I assume. If you know his history he never lets a good crisis go to waste (see Rahm Emanuel for that one) and goes in to places like Ferguson, stirs up trouble and spreads lies to gin up his base, and then goes out and extorts big $s from companies for some new "cause" in exchange for not picketing/boycotting. He is the ultimate hypocrite imo. Jesse is not far behind.How would Crockett deal with him? hmm, maybe see what dirt he can dig up on Rev Al and then tell him to leave town or else. lol Edited August 20, 2014 by Sonny-Burnett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAir Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Yup,the one and only Sharpton I remember a few weeks ago when that one black man sadly suffocated to death when police held him down over allegedly selling cigarettes.It stirred much trouble and I thought "Oh this is Sharptons stuff right here".Few days latter BAM right there leading the way.He gets around a lot Edited August 20, 2014 by BlueAir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavinsky Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I seem to remember hearing that with some of these Charities and the like that AL would be in charge of would usually only have 10% of the actual money go towards the cause they were aimed at. while the rest was spent on the big shots in the group. Maybe someone could get him on income charges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kavinsky Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 did they already do that for an episode though? God's Work I think? or something close to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Al (is that Bill Bob Al?) already has nearly $1 Million of unpaid taxes and financial problems. http://www.eurweb.com/2013/08/report-rev-als-nonprofit-organization-suffering-from-financial-woes/ That's why he's out trying to stay relevant in MO and then later use that PR to extort companies.
