Cops caught on camera 'executing' criminal (WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT)

People are confusing right and wrong, with legality.
 
If you were mistakenly identified as a criminal and the cops started shooting at you, would you shoot back?

Is that a trick question?
Shoot back with what?

Good thing the cop wasn't white, otherwise this would of been international news and everyone would of started caring about the victim.
Atm it just means less wasted tax payers money, less overcrowded prisons
That means current prisoners can live in more comfort in jail before they get released with their new found connections and education so that they can rob and kill people as a bigger group.
 
When armed criminals are considered victims of police brutality after being shot, and then portrayed in the press as anything but a violent criminal who got his just deserts, we should also be seriously worried.

^ Nail on head. Well done to the Police
 
Good glad he's dead and won't be able to hurt again.
Hope the cops, all of them, get what's coming to them we cannot have cops like this in power.
 
Now boys and girls, don't go vloeking at you police man like that couple in that article about that cop shoving that dude.

This is assuming you are armed as I assumed Glock26 is.

Killing criminals is great and all but there still need to be ROE. The video implies that the criminal was shot after giving up his weapon (or throwing it at the last minute).

Are you one of those people that takes ages to make his pointless?

Objection your honour! Relevance!
In other words, wtf has that got to do with anything? He was not innocent, he had just moments before tried to kill the cop that shot him, and he would likely have done it again if/when he was free.
What has that got to do with mistaken identity? Are you trying to shift the goalposts here?

Oh, and of course executions are ONLY ok when done by a black mob in a township environment when killing suspected criminals as part of a "kangaroo court" THEN it is ok, because no-one is ever prosecuted for that.

Reality does not equal the dream world we sometimes pretend to live in. These cops 100% saved the life of some future victims.
 
Cops should not be executioners. But the greatest danger we face at the moment is from the criminals. And if two cops can agree to execute an wounded shooter this way, it implies that things are going downhill as even police may be reaching breaking point and losing trust in the justice system. (Especially given the recent spate of cop executions.)
 
Good riddance! It is horrible to watch anyone die but the world is better off without that scum. Since he'd already shot at the police there is a good chance he would have killed someone in the future. His case docket would disappear and he would have been out on the street looking to rob/kill us.

I feel sorry for the policeman who now will lose his job. Anyone who commits armed robbery or shoots at police should be executed.
 
Look, I'm glad that piece of scum is dead and won't be able to hurt anyone anymore, but seriously? That last shot was unnecessary. The scum was already down, probably already dead.

I would have thought that unless he was very highly connected the act of shooting at police would have made it impossible for his docket to disappear.

Firstly, the question was related to you saying that you would do the same thing yourself. Would that include defending yourself against police as well?

Secondly, kangaroo courts are wrong in every way possible. The cops are going after the gangs and people responsible for taking the law into their own hands. Perhaps you should have your reality checked.

Cops themselves have given me the names and details of at least 3 lawyers who are the choice of most of Jhb's criminals, who have the ability to pay judges and prosecutors, and the cases are thrown out for stupid reasons.
The cops know, and can't do anything about it. Been happening for years.
They said it will only end when someone takes these lawyers out to a field somewhere and executes them. Until then, nothing is going to change.

I was given details, shown photos and videos of clear cut crimes. This is the Rolex gang. Pics of the members, leader etc. Arrested IN a stolen car, with guns and goods stolen. Lots of info and tracking and evidence.
And the judge throws it out.

The story is there for someone who cares to follow it up. I was shocked. They have SO MUCH info on the whole gang, and can do NOTHING. So I really don't care anymore if and when these career criminals are taken out of the equation.
 
What is cringe-worthy is that elements of society have so empowered criminals that they fail to recognise their own complacency is nothing less than complicity.

Again, what is the relevance? If I had just shot at the cops first, then yes...I would expect to be shot by them.
Has no bearing on this situation, no similarities at all.
If a criminal tries to shoot me or my family, and I am able to subdue him...the threat is not over until it is 100% over.

As for kangaroo courts, you are wrong again. The usual dockets are opened. But can you please show me 3 examples of people who were convicted and jailed for murder as part of a revenge mob or "kangaroo court"?
