...because apparently IT RESEMBLES A GUN

http://thelibertarianrepublic.com/child ... z2tonoBYvb

Quote:
EUHARLEE, Ga. — A Euharlee police officer opened fire on 17-year-old Christopher Roupe while serving a warrant for probation violation on the child’s father, claiming the boy pointed a gun at her.

But when neighbors ran up the home, they instead found a Wii remote in the boy’s dead hands.

According to the attorney for the family, Cole Law, “The eyewitnesses on the scene clearly state that he had a Wii controller in his hand. He heard a knock at the door. He asked who it was, there was no response so he opened the door and upon opening the door he was immediately shot in the chest.”



Now, I know I shouldn't bash all cops for s*** like this. But these types of events are happening more often, and it makes me sick

I play my Wii every now and then. I can only imagine if it were me.

f*** the police. sᴇʀɪᴏᴜsʟʏ. "To Protect and Serve"? That's all a brazen f*** lie. They're not protecting anyone and they're not serving anything.

I just can't believe that an officer of the law would be so EVIL. They're all trained to know what is and is not a weapon and they weren't even there to find the kid. It just ignites my rage out of all control.

The police are no better than the f*** mafia. That's a sad, disgusting fact.

Now that's just ridiculous. Mistaking a wiimote for a gun? Dumbass.

In a country where nearly everyone and their grandma has access to a gun, I wouldn't say that the officer's fears were entirely misguided. However, her actions of choosing to shoot first, questions later, were very unprofessional.

well, if it was a black wiimote controler in a black wiimote gun prop... it COULD, to some extent, have been confused... if it were an airsoft weapon it would at least be acceptable. i mean, imagine i am training my aim in my backyard with my full equipment, and the cops ring in my door. well, i obviously go open it.

No it couldn't. In case you didn't know, the vast majority of TV remotes are either black or a very dark shade of gray. There is absolutely, positively, most assuredly no justifying what that scumbag officer did nor the fact that her department is now trying to cover it up. The entire thing is just utterly atrocious. Yet another example of police officers abusing their power.

And by the way, there was nothing attached to the wiimote. We don't even know if it was black (and it most likely wasn't).

it's something called "the heat of the moment". you'd know about it if you didn't spend your time yelling "f*** THE POLICE" at your computer

she thought he was armed, she reacted. was it "right"? debatable. was it justified? from her perspective, yes.

if you're going to sit there and say "SHE SHOT HIM BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO SHOOT EVERYONE f*** THE POLICE" then please go away

When I heard this story almost every politic-heavy friend I had spammed links about how in China when stuff like this happens the cop is fined, and then put to death.

Or something like that. I've always been wary of police, but this kinda puts them in the red.

Shooting so quickly like that was a very irresponsible choice. Punishment, in my opinion, should be harsh.

What, every cop ever doesn't want to shoot me?

What did I do wrong this time? I was sure they'd want to at this point.
