I'm doing this a lot lately but....Ditto.

While I agree with you in principle, I cannot help but question what really happened here.
The police could easily figure that most of us would just shrug our shoulders because he was an illegal immigrant...without questioning the facts of what happened.
I'm hugely against illegal immigration, but I just felt so badly for this guy's pretty wife and child. Like she said, he was a father. My heart absolutely aches for that little kid.
Having said all of this, if the facts are indeed accurate, then I'm afraid the guy had it coming. For me it's only a question of whether or not the reported facts are the truth; that's all.
Yeah, I'm sure that Deval Patrick will raise some kind of tax to pay for his funeral, nomorehacks.

Cops, do get caught up in an adrenilin rush,as witnessed in beatings, or extra rough
man- handeling them into cuffs.
They will bounce his head off the door jamb "accidently", when puting him into the cruiser. They feel they need to punish the offender for not following orders. (How dare you dis-obey ME !)
Shooting should only be used if the car is actually heading at a cop,that is out of the cruiser. There is'nt a full picture of the actual events that took place in this case. When it is all said and done, the cops probably did'nt have to shoot him. Hell in some states high speed chases are illegal,and the cops must stop the chase if the speeds get to high. Innocent people ,by standers have been killed due to high speed chases. If it turns out that this guy was just ramming his car into a cruiser then ,it was excessive force.
One other note, It's not like this state is know for deporting illegals,if anything it's a santuary state. You would think the illegals would know this, as they flock here to work !

This guy supposedly came here in 2005 on a visa
his visa expired, did he go home??
NO WAY WHY DO SOMETHING THAT IS LEGAL,
I'LL JUST STAY HERE AMONGST MY OTHER ILLEGAL ALIENS AND NOONE WILL BE THE WISER.
What i'm not supposed to beat my girlfriend if she doesn't do what I say, why?
OH THAT'S ILLEGAL, BUT IT'S OKAY BECAUSE I'M ILLEGAL TO.
What my girlfriend has taken out a restraining order on me, why?
BECAUSE SHE SAYS I BEAT HER, AND THAT'S ILLEGAL
BUT IT'S OKAY CAUSE SO AM I.
This case reaks, but not because this guy got shot, but because he was still allowed to be in this country ILLEGALLY, THAT'S WHY IT REAKS.
His girlfriend takes out the restraing order, for her own safety, now because he was shot, SHE IS SAYING "MY BOYFRIEND DID NOTHING WRONG HE WAS A VICTIM"

YEAH RIGHT

Also, I don't believe the deceased was trying to run the officer down. What the DA was doing is positioning himself for a plea. Now this is out there and trying to get an unbias jury is next to impossible.

Hello legendkiller:

Yes, the police look for speeders in the city as well. Before they start discharging a firearm, the police in the city let the speeder go. They have enough confidence they will catch them later. Take the license plate number, run it thru the registry and go the house.
Again, from what I saw...we are talking a 90 second pursuit. I don't see the rationale in firing a weapon at someone in a car. A car which had people in it, and who could have been hit.
This is not the wild west.
The hand gun is a big issue. This cop will quietly fad off the force.

People drive illegally all time without a license. Should we shoot them as well?

Hi Legend:

Again, I am just making points and not comitting one away or the othere.

But, you are helping me make my point of going to the deceased home later. You stated the man was known down there to the police.

I appauld the officer for going into the building. But this is not going to help him on when to use his firearm.

I am not attacking the officer. I never suggested police are looking to use their gun. I suggested that their approach is different from city cops, who deal with this all day. And just some, not all.

Where was he coming home from?

In summary...even is this is a good shoot, without the deceased having a gun, this is going to cost the town and state a few bucks.

You are right about only them knowing. But the facts are, one person is dead for not stopping 90 seconds after some cop put his rack lights on.

Legend: What really bites is: If he is here illegally and there is a restaining order against him. How come he isn't just escorted from court to the first boat back to his birth place?

One of my posts did not go thru.

I hope the cop makes it thru this. It is a tough job.

1sckmnd,
It's true the mother is as much to blame as the boyfriend was, she had the restraining order out, but still hung out with him.
She could have told him to stop the car but
didn't, now she is just blaming everyone but
herself.
