the only thing i dislike about this whole incident, is that they did not find a weapon on the guy who got shot. this cop is getting away with shooting the guy, who was potentially unarmed, all for trying to steal his bike. i agree the guy deserved to get shot, dont get me wrong...but if any one of us would walk outside with a gun and chase down someone who was stealing our bike, and shoot them, we would be in jail for a long long time.... "was your life in danger?" "why didnt you stay inside the house and call the police?" etc etc etc.. i think its great the robber got shot - fuck him.....but i think its a crock of shit that the cop is in no trouble at all, yet if we were to do this EXACT same thing, we would be in jail on attempted murder charges. and probably have a fat civil suit filed against us by the robber - ultimately having to sell the bike anyways just to pay for the legal battle the cop was off duty, there is no sign that his life was in any immediate danger, the perp was unarmed and no gun was turned up at the scene...i understand even while off duty he was doing his part as a cop to stop the robbery - but to what extent? all i see here is another cop getting away with stuff that the average citizen cant....a cop is allowed to shoot someone to protect his property, but nobody else is. bullshit.
