Minnesota Police Shooting

Police shooting during traffic stop leaves Minnesota man dead

 

Warning: Video link on her Facebook is very disturbing and graphic.

If it happened like she said, it's not good for the officer.

Just so sad. And that the girlfriend's daughter witnessed the whole thing.

 

Curious---if you have a gun and a permit, are you suppose to tell the officer right away at the traffic stop?

 

I can't help but wonder if he had not provided that information to the police officer while reaching for his license, this could have been a different outcome.

@hoops5 When I took the CCDW class the officer instructing the class said you should always tell the officer right away if you have a weapon with you or on you and present your ID.

So freaking sad....that video is just awful.

[UKMustangFan]

This is not going to end well.

 

Seeing a lot of "Why comply if you're just going to get shot anyways" floating around the web. Not good.

If you're in possession of a firearm when making contact with police, you are required to report it that's what the law says. Obviously, the sooner you tell them the better.

 

This does not look good for the cop at all, the victim appears to have done everything right. I don't know if it's PTSD, or just unstable cops, but too many are pulling the trigger too soon lately.

In Ky you do not have a duty to inform by law, but it is recommended that you inform.

 

237.110 (15) The licensee shall carry the license at all times the licensee is carrying a concealed firearm or other deadly weapon and shall display the license upon request of a law enforcement officer. Violation of the provisions of this subsection shall constitute a noncriminal violation with a penalty of twenty-five dollars ($25), payable to the clerk of the District Court, but no court costs shall be assessed.

That surprises me I thought in KY you had to report.

The more I read about this, the more I'm baffled by the officer's actions. He asked for ID, the guy was reaching for his wallet, let him know he had a CC and a firearm (which sounds like what an individual is supposed to do), and the cop shoots? There has to be more to it. Just has to be.

I haven't been feeling well so I didn't watch the videos on this situation or the one in Louisiana.

 

BUT, there are people in all walks of life, jobs, careers, that have no business doing what they are doing. Any of these LEO involved incidents only deal with those LEO's that are actually involved.

 

I just hope that these videos are not as bad as some of you all are saying.

It surprises me as well, I know in Ohio one does.

I'm not saying it didn't happen the way the lady said it happened. I am going to say though let's see if it happened that way. We have been walked down a road of lies before from witnesses. The officer trying to justify his actions and the tone of his voice lead me to believe this will be really close to the witnesses account though.

GF seemed more interested in her FB than her BF. I don't care to say it.

Completely true! I have encountered way too many LEO that have NO business being LEO.
