The Truth About Gun's Anti-Cop Crusade Reaches a New Low

[ptmccain]

If you guys are familiar with the blog site, The Truth About Guns, you may have noticed that Robert Farago, the site's owner, has a real axe to grind against law enforcement. At every possible opportunity he is bashing the police, to a point that can only be described now as an obsession.

He reached a new low with a post in which, based on his extensive personal background in law enforcement, firearms training and criminal investigation [sarcasm there folks] he provides his readers with his "speculations" on what happened in the Michael Brown shooting.

Read it for yourself.

I got to the part about the holster retention and stopped reading. What a joke.

This is no small point. If Officer Wilson drew his weapon on an unarmed man, even after being assaulted, even while being assaulted, he was clearly, legally in the wrong. Officer Wilson would have been responsible – on more than one level – for everything that happened subsequently.

Bullshit. Disparity of force and whether the assailant posed a credible threat determine whether it was a good shoot.

Yep, gettin real tired of the "unarmed teenager" shtick. Unless you're someone like Steven Hawking you ain't unarmed. If you have fist and feet and are fully ambulatory you are armed. Whether or not you know how to use them is another matter.

Which has to be determined by what state of mind the officer was, at that exact moment, and how reasonable it was that the officer felt that his life was in danger.

As bad as Ferguson's initial police response had been, the media collectives response has ranged from equally awful, to "worse by an order of magnitude!" I watched a CNN report/interview in which some lawyer representing the family stated as a matter of fact, and no fewer then on four separate stages in the interview, that Brown had been shot "execution style" by the cop, CNN's Don Lemmon did not once intervene with an "allegedly," he just allowed the guy to state over and over again that the cop had "executed" Brown! Such is not journalism, its inciting....

What kind of crack is this guy smoking? You aren't allowed to defend yourself while being assaulted? Really?

A case that you can relate to this: http://www.kctv5.com/story/24820327/...police-officer

Of course poor Bruno's wife is calling use of extreme force.

Point is we should not be questioning the circumstances of the police shooting before the grand jury makes a decision on an indictment. The official County Coroner Report will be what they base part of their decision on, not some family hire.

I wonder if this guy thought Zimmerman acted wrong too?
