Same question to you....
Do I have the right to protect myself from a beat down by cop?
I absolutely blame the dead guy in this incident.
"Right to Life"? Seriously?
The officer is not above the law. He IS the law.
And he was being attacked. Guess you don't support his "Right to Life".

Blaming the victim. How very cowardly. So easy to blame the one who cannot even speak up for themself.
"Right to Life"? Seriously?
Not just yes, but HELL YES!!!
The officer is not above the law. He IS the law.
No, he is not. At all. But you have already revealed your oh-so-arrogant authoritarianism, so I'm not surprised you would believe this.
And he was being attacked. Guess you don't support his "Right to Life".
Of course I do. But he's not dead. He has every right and opportunity to provide an affirmative defense in a court of law before a jury of his peers.

I have a slightly off topic question: Are all officers approved for conceal carry? I'm just curious because he was off duty and had a gun.
The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act (LEOSA) is a United States federal law, enacted in 2004, that allows two classes of persons—the "qualified law enforcement officer" and the "qualified retired law enforcement officer"—to carry a concealed firearm in any jurisdiction in the United States, regardless of state or local laws, with certain exceptions.

You guys are incredulous. Did ANYBODY here read the story?
A guy with 19 prior arrests that served THREE terms in prison for robbery, drug sale, and stabbing gets pissed when he thinks some guy cut him off. He chases the car around for several blocks and at a stop light, gets out of the car and starts throwing haymakers through the window at an off duty 3 year cop. The cop shot him.
Eye-witness and surveillance footage corroborates this.
Motorist punches cop before getting shot.

They are buying into the mainstream medias anti-cop thugs are saints agenda.

According to the people who made this country (founding fathers) it is not just the right of the family to seak vengeance but there duty. Sic Semper Tyrannis. If a cop killed a family member out of anger and skated on punishment well, then that would be a very dead cop. This country is about US! You and me, not bureaucracy, not tyranny, but Liberty and it's OUR duty to take back OUR government if that Government stops doing it's job and well, . . . . . That is EXACTLY what is happening. We should March to Washington and remind TPTB that we are the 99% and it is about what WE the people want and that is Justice, Safety and Liberty.
Blame the dead guy all you want.
