    That cop's going to be in a world of trouble. I'm sure Trump wishes him well.
    He'll argue that the guy might have been getting a gun out of the car, and he'll probably succeed.

    I don't think so. Not this time the Wisconsin DOJ has already launched an investigation. In this current climate I think these cops are fooked.

    No police officer will face charges over the shooting of Jacob Blake.

    Kenosha County District Attorney Michael Graveley said he "would have to disprove the clear expression of these officers that they had to fire a weapon to defend themselves".

    "I do not believe the state... would be able to prove that the privilege of self-defence is not available," he said, quoted by the Associated Press.

    Gunman kills at least 3 in multiple shootings in the Chicago area, police say

    A gunman killed at least three people and wounded several others in a series of shootings in the Chicago area Saturday before being shot and killed by police, authorities said.

    Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said in a news briefing the shootings started in Chicago at 1:50 p.m. (2:50 p.m. ET) Saturday when the suspect -- identified by police as 32-year-old Jason Nightengale -- entered a parking garage and shot a 30-year-old man sitting in his vehicle, who died from his injuries at the scene.

    Moments later, the gunman entered the vestibule of an apartment building a few blocks away, police said. He asked to use a phone and fired shots at a building security guard. The woman was shot in the chest and was pronounced dead at a hospital a short time later, according to police.

    A 77-year-old woman getting her mail in the same building was also shot in the head, officials said. Police said she is currently in critical condition.

    A short time later, the suspect went to a nearby building and pulled a gun on a man he knew, police said. The suspect got the man's keys and fled in his vehicle.

    Around 3:45 p.m., Brown said the gunman fired shots inside a convenience store after announcing a robbery. A 20-year-old man was shot in the head and pronounced dead a short time later. An 81-year-old woman was shot in the back and neck and is currently in critical condition, according to police.

    At approximately 5 p.m., the suspect shot a 15-year-old female in the head as she was traveling in the rear seat of a vehicle being driven by her mother. She is currently in critical condition, police said. The driver was not injured.

    Police said that after this shooting, the gunman returned to the convenience store and fired at Chicago police officers investigating the earlier attack, striking a police vehicle. He then traveled to Evanston, located north of Chicago.

    Evanston Police Chief Demitrous Cook said Saturday evening that police responded to reports of a man firing shots at a CVS around 5:38 p.m.

    The gunman, now known by police to be Nightengale, ran across the street to an IHOP restaurant where he took a woman hostage, Cook said, shooting her before fleeing on foot to another business.

    Evanston police officers engaged him in the parking lot, where he was killed at the scene, Cook said.

    The woman who was held hostage and shot is currently in the hospital, Cook said.

    "But for the brave conduct of Evanston police officers confronting this suspect, many more people would have been injured," Brown said, adding that no Chicago officers were known to be injured from their earlier confrontation with the suspect.

    Chicago police say the investigation is ongoing. Brown said no motive for the shootings is known at this time.

    A gunman opened fire inside a Minnesota health clinic Tuesday morning leaving at least five people critically wounded — and then at least one bomb went off inside the facility, according to police and reports.
    Police responded to the Allina Health Clinic in Buffalo, about 40 miles northwest of Minneapolis, just before 11 a.m. local time, The Star Tribune reported.
    About 30 minutes later, at least one bomb exploded in the clinic, the outlet reported, citing emergency dispatch audio. That forced emergency medical workers to leave the clinic’s parking lot and set up from a safer distance.
    Three victims were taken to North Memorial Health Hospital in Robbinsdale, 35 miles away near Minneapolis, which handles severely critical incidents, the Star Tribune wrote.

    1 - what were buffaloes doing in a health clinic . . . or calling fat Americans 'buffalo' is unkind. Factual, but unkind.

    2 - How many buffalo were injured?

    Don’t think I ever mentioned my daughter-in-law got shot just before Christmas. Her and my son had a spat and somehow she ended up at some storage unit place trying to break in. Silent alarm went off and the live on site manager shot her. Why she was trying to break into the place is just wacko. Has plenty of cash in her savings. People do stupid shit when they’re on drugs.

    Prosecutors said a man in Pennsylvania shot and killed a couple in a murder-suicide over a snow removal dispute on Monday, the same day a major winter storm dumped more than 30 inches of snow in parts of the Northeast. Jeffrey Spaide fatally shot his neighbors, James Goy and his wife, Lisa Goy, before killing himself on Monday morning when officers were called to West Bergh Street in Plains Township, about 15 miles southwest of Scranton, according to the Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office.

    There's a video of the whole thing and its very fuct up. Typical white trash yelling between guy , wife vs neighbor. Neighbor walks outside, shoots them casually as he's walking up to them. They are both half dead. Moving and speaking a little. Then the guy comes back out with a long gun and blows them both away for good, point blank range

    The video is just down this page a couple clicks

    Remarkably she doesn't seem to have been fired yet.

    Minnesota officer who shot Black man meant to draw Taser, not handgun, police chief says

    BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn. — The police shooting of a Black man in a Minneapolis suburb — a short drive from the courthouse where a former Minneapolis police officer is on trial, accused of murdering George Floyd — further devastated a community already facing persistent headlines about police brutality.

    On Monday, the police chief of Brooklyn Center, Minn., north of Minneapolis, said the officer who shot and killed 20-year-old Daunte Wright during a traffic stop the day before may have intended to use a Taser, not a firearm.

    “It is my belief that the officer had their intention to deploy the Taser but instead shot Mr. Wright with a single bullet,” said Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon, adding that he believes this was an “accidental discharge.” The officer, Kim Potter, has been placed on administrative leave.

    The shooting of Wright yet again ignited tensions in Minneapolis and a nation torn and rising in the streets in a call for racial justice and an end to police brutality.

    Residents and activists quickly pushed back on police, calling for justice for Wright, who was unarmed, officials said.

    This is the second time I've read about gun being drawn instead of taser and I imagine it's happened on more occasions.

    Personally, I think the the problem is to do with the gun on primary side and taser on secondary. It means that the officer will instinctively go for the gun when under pressure. It appears training is more about self protection than serving the public.

    I'd agree . . . and with over 380 million guns in private hands it kind of makes sense. Get rid of the guns, get rid of the madness

    From your link:

    "Potter shot Wright, a 20-year-old Black man, during a traffic stop Sunday while officers were attempting arrest after discovering an outstanding warrant. In body camera footage, Wright can be seen pulling his hands free and ducking back into the car; Potter yells, "I'll tase you! Taser! Taser! Taser!" then fires her handgun."

    He had choices. Now he's dead and her life is ruined. No winners here.

    Why anyone would want to be a police patrol officer in the US today is a mystery to me.
