If I was the cop I would of shot him too. He could of been on anything, I have seen it over here in my town where a guy high on god knows what attacked a police officer so the police officer struck him with his baton which is fair enough, the guy who was high, grabbed it, ripped it out of the officers hand and began to hit the officer with it so 8 other officers had to tackle him to the floor and put their knees on him to stop him getting up and it took another 15 minutes to cuff the man. He also got CS Sprayed too and that did basically nothing...

See that officer was lucky he had back-up and over here police don't carry guns apart from trained armed patrols like CO19 but the officer in this story did not have back-up so if he didn't have a gun he could be dead or seriously injured, heck if this kid was on bath salts he could of started eating the officers face, so yeah.

Also these people saying "shoot him in the leg hurr durr" have you ever heard of the femoral artery? if he got shot in the leg and it went through that without immediate medical care the guy is as good as dead and I am English and even I know you shoot for Center Mass because it is the largest part of any given human body which means you have a greater chance of disabling the person in question. Seriously comments like "shoot him in the shoulder/leg/arm/foot" are well... Borderline Peter Griffin stupid and let me tell you that is pretty dumb.

It's shocking how many people seem unconcerned about this incident. This is yet another case where an unarmed individual was gunned down by police unnecessarily. In the UK police are able to successfully apprehend suspects without being armed and with minimal risk to themselves or the general public. Police officers should be deployed in pairs and should easily be able to take down an unarmed individual - if not then they disengage and radio in for backup. The US police system doesn't work - it's not fit for purpose. It was only recently that we saw an unarmed double amputee (missing an arm and a leg) with a mental condition in a wheelchair shot dead by a police officer.

It's sick that this is allowed to happen and nobody seems to bat an eyelid. What a reprehensible culture.

So the suspect was taken in alive to face the justice system and the police officer was fine... yet you're supporting the US approach where people are simply gunned down because it's more convenient? Sure it's not nice for a police officer to be assaulted but neither is it for somebody to die as a result. People need to be afforded due process and shooting them dead is not due process.

Being prior service USMC I would agree shooting first and asking questions later is safer for P.D, but if you see the pics of this guy he isn't buff by any standards. He could have easily had his partner behind him with his sidearm out and the cop in front pulls out his tazer and try to detain the suspect that way.

I do to some degree but I don't support the US approach entirely and I would of preferred that he was brought in alive to face trial and due process BUT I agree with what the officer did to the extent of, this guy is on drugs and he is not calming down and I have seen the skinniest people drop the biggest guys and anyone is capable of anything at any given time, heck I know I am, I've been arrested (not charged and it only happened once, I lost someone and I was angry with myself but had a hard time controlling my emotions) because I've gotten so angry and if I was shot I wouldn't blame the officer for it, so yeah if the guy was detained that is great he can be charged with whatever and go before the courts but in this instance I do not blame the police officer for shooting him either because he could of been scared for his life.

Like I said above, I have seen some stick insect guys drop some really big, well built men and yeah the guy could of been Tasered but I am not going to blame the police officer for his actions because I feel under the circumstances the officer had to make a call and he made one where someone died but the guy could of done ANYTHING to the police officer and at the time if he is attacking a police officer he could of been on his way to attack someone else or could of just beaten someone to death with a baseball bat and he burnt his clothes that and that is why he naked (I am not saying he did but anything is possible) you just don't know.

I am not saying in every case like this that an officer should shoot the man but people have to realize that they have to think FAST and make split second decisions, yeah it is easy to say Tazer him, spray him or use a baton after the fact but in the heat of the moment you go for what you feel is the most effective thing at the time of this happening. And you have to remember that officer will have to live for the rest of his life knowing he killed a young man who could of had so much potential in life and he took it away in the heat of the moment.

But that's exactly why you need a police system that works properly. If police work in pairs, wear stab-proof / bulletproof vests, are equipped with non-lethal weapons, have access to support, having training in psychology and unarmed combat and are taught how to deal with violent suspects then you can eliminate the need to use guns when dealing with unarmed suspects, as is the case in the UK. Further, when dealing with people off their head on drugs you need special training - pointing a gun at them and trying to use reason isn't going to work. People in the US are dying needlessly because the police system there is simply not resourced or trained to deal with situations properly, as well as a culture that supports an excessive use of force. I'm not defending the actions of the suspect here - he was clearly behaving in an unacceptable manner and his actions cost him his life. But he shouldn't have been killed and that is a clear and obvious failing of the justice system.

There was a video of another case where a man with a knife was running down the street in New York. In that police all ran after him, pointed guns and were shouting at him, while he seemed to be under the influence of drugs. The police lacked any coordination, any obvious command structure and they clearly hadn't been trained in basic psychology - it was pandemonium and unsurprisingly the guy ended up being shot about ten times and dying instantly. It's the same with police chases where you see a dozen police cars all speeding after a suspect - there's no strategy. I would say it's a joke but that's not appropriate when people are dying as a result of police incompetence (and by that I don't just mean the officers involved but the entire command structure).

The man involved was a campus police officer. What exactly does that mean? Is he a real police officer or a security guard?

At the University I attended we had campus police officers that were legitimate and trained officers with jurisdiction on and around campus. Their primary focus was the campus itself, and that's where their station was, but they had cruisers, sidearms, uniforms, and were required to complete the same training as everybody else. I think they probably just pulled people from the local city police to use as the campus police.

Really? why don't you try to stop these kind of people high on drug w/o using force. What you do if you don't have anything besides gun at that time? You want to stop him with bare hand alone?

When was the last time you faced someone under the influence of PCP/bath salts? I am not going to describe what I had to do in order to get out of his grip.

LETHAL FORCE.

Read my god damn post :p

I have no problem with officers knocking someone out, spraying them, etc. Shooting an unarmed person dead is beyond ridiculous, high or not.

You really need to stop watching movies.

Did the officer forget that he could of shot the guy in the feet or arms or aimed for the shoulders. Eventually no matter what drugs hes on he won't have the ability to get up. Instead he went straight for the deadly shot......

Campus officers shouldn't even be carrying guns, period. As far as I know in the UK for example not even regular police officers carry guns.

The UK and the US are two entirely different countries. Just because something works in your country doesn't mean it works in another country.

Is it that hard of a concept for UKers to understand instead of preaching and belittling others to why everyone should be like them?

The UK rest of modern society and the US are two entirely different countries entities. Just because something works in your country, doesn't mean it works in another country we'll support it.

Is it that hard of a concept for UKers foreigners to understand instead of preaching and belittling highlighting potential issues to others to why and claiming everyone should be like them adopt stances based on reason?

Fixed.

But on a serious note, there are some issues that have been highlighted with the American police force in the past. I believe concerns over being too quick to resort to violence, poor training in dealing with crisis situations etc. have all come up and been well documented.

Wasn't there a fad not long ago about videoing police officers doing rather dubious things?

If this had happened in the UK, nobody would be dead.

Because the policemen over there are actually trained and not retarded like most people here in america.

Trained or not, you never know what a person on drugs is going to do or what they are capable of. Besides, this wasn't even a real cop. He was a campus officer.

How do you know the guy on bath salts wouldn't have killed the policemen?

Police officers are trained to deal with strong, violent men. They carry tasers, pepper spray, batons, and usually work in at least pairs. They could send a riot cop with a shield. One rampaging man is nothing compared to a riot, even if he is high.

Guns aren't the answer to everything and there's something seriously warped with that opinion.

Campus officers are given the same training as city officers and are often pulled from the city department anyways.

Here in Austin, the community college campus officers also have jurisdiction throughout the entire city just as a regular police officer does. They can write citations and everything even when not directly on campus.

So "deploy them in pairs" when 8 cops cant even take down one person on PCP? You amaze me with some of your replies on this forum.

EDIT: Then again all of you overseas amaze me with your replies. You take every effort you can to bash the US in one way or another. I find it funny. Its almost like your jealous that you don't live here. We all know that's all it is anyways.

    • Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds by Sayan Sen Microsoft has released new Windows 11 builds for users flighting the Experimental channels. The new builds are 26300.8758 for Windows 11 26H2, 28120.2374 for 26H1, and 29617.1000 for future platforms. There are improvements related to the Taskbar, File Explorer and more with the new update. The full changelogs are given below: First we have the build 26300.8758: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Taskbar] Taskbar customization just got easier. As we continue to make improvements to the Taskbar experience mentioned last month, we've introduced a dedicated Taskbar Size setting, making it simpler to find, understand, and personalize your ideal taskbar experience. UI showing the new Taskbar Size setting in Settings. We've also made refinements to the transitions between taskbar sizes for a smoother overall experience. [File Explorer] We've improved the reliability of thumbnail previews for cloud files in the Details pane. The pane has also been reorganized so file properties are easier to find and review at a glance. Fixed an issue where the OneDrive shortcut in File Explorer stops working when File Explorer is run in administrative mode. Fixed an issue where the confirmation dialog might display an internal Recycle Bin file name instead of the original file name when permanently deleting a file. [Sounds] Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode. Up next we have build 28120.2374: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes [Mobile Device Settings] You can add and manage your mobile devices in Settings under Bluetooth & Devices > Mobile Devices. On this page, you can manage features such as using your device as a connected camera or accessing your device's files in File Explorer. [Remote Recovery Management] Added a recovery remote management plug-in to extend WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers. [Input] The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of the Tenor API. Finally we have the changelog for Windows 11 build 29617.1000: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announce blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [Windows Magnifier] Magnifier now gives you more control over how you zoom. You can type an exact zoom percentage directly in the magnifier toolbar to land on precisely the level you need. We've also added preset step increments (5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, and 400%) to the Settings dropdown, so you can jump to common levels in a single click. Whether you need a subtle boost or a dramatic close-up, Magnifier adapts to how you want to zoom. Enter an exact percentage or jump to preset steps —5% up to 400%. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Magnifier. [Accessibility] We're introducing screen tint, a new accessibility setting that applies a color overlay across your entire display, softening its intensity so it's easier on your eyes throughout the day. If bright, saturated screens leave you with tired or sensitive eyes by the end of a long session, screen tint can help. Screenshot showing UI for screen tint in Accessibility, with color presets and a strength slider. To get started, open Settings > Accessibility (or press WIN + U) and look for screen tint under the Vision section. From there, you can: Pick from six preset colors or choose a custom color of your own. Adjust the tint strength slider from a subtle wash to full intensity. Night light warms your display to reduce blue light that can interfere with sleep. Screen tint reduces overall screen intensity to ease eye fatigue and light sensitivity during the day. They tackle different problems and you can use both at the same time, one working on warmth and the other on intensity. Note that turning on screen tint will disable color filters, and vice versa. If you currently rely on color filters, you might need to keep screen tint turned off. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Narrator. [Voice Access] Voice Access now supports Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), and Korean (South Korea). [Audio] Continuing our work on improving Sound Settings, we've made a few more updates in this build: We've adjusted the description text for the Allow option in properties for audio devices to include the current state of the device, to improve the clarity of the text and the purpose of the button actions. "Listen to this device" is now available in properties for audio devices, so you don't need to enter Control Panel for this functionality. [Multiple Desktops] Improved explorer reliability when switching between multiple desktops. [Storage] We've updated the dialog when creating a Dev Drive to now support specifying the size in GB instead of only MB. This has also been added when changing the size of volumes under Settings > System > Storage. [Personalization] This update improves color selection accuracy when adjusting your accent color to match your wallpaper when automatic accent color selection is enabled in Personalization settings. This update improves wallpaper persistence reliability across restarts and upgrades, including better support for large-resolution wallpapers and other scenarios to prevent solid color wallpaper fallback. [Display and Graphics] Improves the reliability and persistence of applying color profiles. You can view the official blog posts here (link1, link2, link3) on Microsoft's site.
