From Donuts to getting shot dead

Quote:
Apr 29, 2007 - A Marshall County Deputy today shot and killed a Lacon man during an emergency call. Police say Deputy Wayne Strawn and a Lacon Police Officer responded to a situation involving Scott Sheets Junior earlier today.
Illinois State Trooper Tony Halsey says the officers arrived on scene at Illinois Route 26 North near Marshall County Road 500 North around 1:30 Sunday afternoon.
The officers found the 23-year-old man in his truck driving in circles in a field.
Trooper Halsey says the officers eventually surrounded him and got Sheets to stop driving, that's when Sheets got out of his car and the situation escalated.
"Marshall County Sheriff's Deputy along with a Lacon city police officer were dispatched to handle a case of a suicidal subject. In the process, when they arrived on scene the subject was armed with a knife during which time thereafter the situation - the suspect, Scott Sheets was fatally shot by a Marshall County Deputy," Halsey says.
Richard Weers is the Lacon Police Officer who was at the scene.
The Illinois State Police is investigating the shooting.
An autopsy is scheduled for Monday morning.

thats not wtf news at all...if the guy was armed and posed a threat to the officers, they had every right to use deadly force.

he brought a knife to a gun fight, Darwin states they were correct. However, they have a taser.. as well as pepper spray. I don't think "deadly force" was required.

ah but it doesn't say whether he attempted harm with said knife to one of the cops. where's the link to the full story so we can see the rest of what happened?

I would have shot once he refused an order...which is why I am not a cop. My policy would be, obey my orders or I shoot. Run, you die...I don't do that running shit. Resist...you die... |

yes... but not to kill. I wouldn't hesitate to shoot him. And I would shoot him to the point where his life was potentially at risk... but I'd see how he reacted to that before just offing the guy. If he's still irrate and still coming, then drop him.

that's why i'm not a cop either. in a hostage situation, shoot the hostage in the leg and it would freak the hostage taker out long enough to shot him too.

Shoot to kill or don't shoot at all. If you don't kill them, then you will go to prison just like the border guards did when they shot the drug runner in the ass in texas. They are now server 11 and 12 years for attempted murder on an illegal alien trying to smuggle drugs into the country...where in fact they also found the drugs.
Yeah, shoot to kill or don't shoot at all. |

also in a situation like that, think about it, if the guy is gonna come after the cops with a knife and threaten the cop's life, if that guy gets away, hes gonna have total disregard for civilians. by shooting to kill, u can in actuality prevent more deaths that my result from that situation.

lets see we have a slew of cops and one guy with a knife with enough distance between them. hmmm last I knew that isnt a killable offense maybe enough to take him down to the ground was all that is needed. Death def didnt need to take place the dude was doing donuts in a grass field come on now

If he was dumb enough to get out of the vehicle and make any kind of gesture, suggestive motion, or verbal threat to the cops relating to the knife...they he was a prime candidate for gene pool removal. |

Those less lethal procedures are what is wrong with society as it is today. Add some consequence to your actions and people might think a little before being stupid.... |
