Murder .
The beating after the car accident scene is what sent me over the edge. I tried to think objectively about what I was seeing and
what I would do in those same situations with all of the adrenalin running through me.
I also looked up the statistics of officers killed by gunfire or stabbing and found 47 by gun and 5 by stabbing in 2012, I also found
out in the same year they killed 587.
That ratio makes sense to me but, I am sure with better hiring/training they could get that number down. I have never been able to get
my head around shooting a guy 15+ times for holding/attacking with a knife. I have never been shot in the kneecap but think that would
be able to end most situations.
" Police had been deploying Tasers, but holstered them and grabbed their guns when Reddie displayed the knife. "
That's making a conscious decision to kill this man instead of apprehending him. They didn't just react to the victim producing a knife.
They made the decision to put back the tasers, pull the guns and execute this man.
Why do police carry tasers? I'm pretty fucking sure it's for instances exactly like this one.
Crawford County Deputy John Klepadlo should be charged with murder. I don't think this is a very complicated case.
I did not see the link in the original post the first time I read it. I found a link for the most up to date article written on Reddie's murder.
