So wait...a cop misses a shot at a very large man, but hits a guy six feet away...

Maybe that cop should never have been allowed to carry a weapon. Even if you buy the cop's new b.s. explanation, it still means they were trying to shoot a guy who was posing no threat to anyone.

1. Nothing but lies and excuses

That cop would have fit right in at the RNC. Justice really needs to be done. IMO, the police officer should lose his job and then there should be a large settlement in a civil suit.

2. I must have missed this story. Do you have a link?

I've been on vacation and haven't been around much for a week or so.

4. Latest excuse by the Miami PD

They weren't trying to shoot the guy with his hands up. They were aiming for the autistic kid (that's better?) and missed, and hit the counselor instead.

So a cop, a supposed trained professional, can't hit such a large target, and just happens to hit another guy six-ten feet away? Seriously?

I'm not sure what's more disturbing...the cop not being able to hit such a large, close target; or the fact that the cop was trying to shoot an autistic kid holding a toy truck.

Anyway, I don't have a link, I was watching it in a window on my computer. It's gotta be online somewhere.

5. Thanks, I did see that story, but didn't know they had said the were aiming at the autistic man.

That cop needs to be fired, not just for bad marksmanship, but poor judgement, as well.

3. The autistic guy was not threatening. They have scopes on their rifles where they could see

the truck in the guy's hands. This is such a BS excuse it makes me sick!

6. Look on the bright side....

The poor guy was shot... but he's gonna be OK.

And when the jury sees this story, he'll be a VERY rich man!
