I take it you are being sarcastic?
Criminals play stupid games and win stupid prizes.

You da winna!

Dafuq going on with HPD this week? Shot and killed 2 in less than a week. First a drunk at the capitol, now a POS at Walmart Mililani. If this is going to become a regular thing, we should take away firearms from HPD as obviously they cannot be trusted with them and they have deep psychological issues and should seek professional help. Maybe be more like the traditional English Bobby and just have a billy club and whistle. That should be more than enough to deter any crime here in Hawaii.

Interesting comment on what I perceive to be either a growing trend of shoot first, ask questions later, a growth in the resistance offered by perpetrators or suspects when it comes to obeying instructions given by cops or a combination of both.

I ran into a circuit court judge at the gym about two weeks ago. He handles criminal cases.   Interestingly, he mentioned that he's seeing a trend with HPD and their use of firearms as a means of addressing situations rather than taking less drastic measures.

Those on this forum should actually be highly critical of police in any police involved shooting, especially if non-lethal options are available.  Even when faced with deadly force, police should always seek the non-lethal solution, first.  Police are there to protect life, not take it.

Who knows?  In such an anti-2nd Amendment environment as we live in Hawaii, would any pro-2nd Amendment supporter like to be stalked by shoot first, ask questions later police officers at the next pro-2nd Amendment rally?

I think not.

a Taser against a vehicle = total fail.

Both officers were in fear of their lives?  .

Those are the magic words they are trained to say after a shooting.

Get out of jail, free.

The first officer, who was holding onto the door of the suspect vehicle, feared for the second officer's life."

If the officer who said he was in fear for his partner's life was holding on the perpetrator's door, is there a report as to where was the second officer's location at the time of shooting?

Furthermore, did both officers discharge their weapons?

He was standing in front of the truck and moved out of its path before he was struck.

You didn't listen to the HPD press conference?

Maybe get all the facts before posting derogatory comments about the Cops?

The truck was blocked in by 3 police vehicles. The driver was ordered multiple times to exit.  Instead, he reversed into one car before driving forward toward officer #2.  What did he think would happen?

So the police did trap the perpetrator using their vehicles, but one officer deliberately put himself in harms way within the police vehicle barricade.  HPD really needs to rethink its SOP in these situations.

Do we have officer camera footage of the event, civilian eye witnesses, or just hearsay by the police officers involved?

Police must be always put on their toes when they choose to execute somebody, instead of bringing a suspect to due process of the law, no matter what the risks may be.  That is what they are specially trained and paid large amounts of money and overtime to do.
