Extra, extra, read all about it! The little facts on the killing at the capitol has finally been made public!
So it appears the drunk that was killed at the capitol was not a former MMA champion, as inferred by the deputy sheriff who claims he had to shoot the perpetrator because he had the sheriff in some form of headlock.
I guess when you are confronting a drunk 5'3" 105 lbs. cripple, who was reported as barley being able to maintain his balance while standing; lethal force is definitely the only option, instead of pepper spray or baton.
Could have it been more likely that the drunk perpetrator could not hear or even was obeying the deputy sheriff's commands to vacate the premises, and as he tried to stand-up or walk away, he lost his balance and instinctively lunged or grabbed on the deputy sheriiff to regain his balance, which might have been wrongfully misinterpreted as an attack through which the deputy sheriff ended that person's life?
In any case, another incident of questionable judgement at the hands of law enforcement resulting in an avoidable fatality.
But I guess for the supporters with the shoot first and ask questions later approach to law enforcement in this forum, lets see if HPD can break the all-time record for police shootings and/or fatalities in this year.
