Vet put to sleep

[Tiger Wench]

The other thing that was not mentioned often is that the cop had been disciplined two weeks earlier for being too rough on suspects. So he was probably being more cautious than he would have because he was afraid of getting in trouble again. That's going to be the aftermath of the Trayvon/Michael Brown shit - cops TOO afraid of getting in trouble to do what they NEED to do to protect themselves or others.

Who else was in the truck and why are they not complicit?

That dog did nothing wrong.

The last shot you hear is when Brannan walks over to Dinkheller after shooting him several times, and stands over him and shoots him in the face.  It is a hard one to watch, not just because he is a LEO, but because he is a human being doing a job that not many people wish to do once they are no longer playing in the back yard with their friends. A job that I can say without knowing, he didn't get paid enough to do.  A job where most people just want to sit back and curse him until they need him for something.  Dinkheller was wrong, and like Token stated, it cost him his life.  I have said it before and I will say it again, if you don't think you can pull the trigger when the time comes, then find another job.

Already happening in NYC....

Pretty sure that I heard him barking derogatory remarks toward the cop when the perp opened the drivers door.

Pretty sure WT is correct in that it isn't that you're mentally ill, but just how mentally ill are you. Most killers are some kind of crazy, after all. You can be bi-polar or even tri-polar and be declared mentally competent to stand trial and be executed.

This may be just me but I don't think there should be such a thing as life in prison. Not because I'm angry, or want revenge or even because I think its our place to visit vengeance upon murderers, I just think its pretty impractical to pay to keep someone alive for 75 years after they've been declared unfit for society. Heck, life in prison is probably the most cruel and unusual punishment modern society inflicts, we keep you alive under extremely shitty circumstances while you wait to die and clog up the legal system with appeals. Its a huge drain upon our resources and for what?

I love my country but damn we flush a lot of time and money down the shitter.

I'm with you on that. I grew up watching a lot of old movies. They would hang a bastard in second back then.

and you knew, good people were good, and bad ones were just nasty. They knew if they got caught, there weren't no prison for them.

Oh, I have no problem frying a bastage. And I would have no problem with this if he claimed to have JUST PTSD. But this guy was also bipolar. he was messed up from the get-go. And like I said, if you do him, hurry up and get the rest of the crazies too.

We have precedent in place for just this type of thing. If a person is crazy, you don't fry them (not that I agree with it). And dude is obviously batshit crazy.

When the law becomes arbitrary and random, there will be no reason to follow any law.

I can testify to this guy's batshit craziness because I experienced it firsthand. This guy, while working for the VA, walked into work on day and told his coworkers that he is threatening the POTUS back when Clittin' was in orifice. Needless to say, the POS went to jail for his actions. This dude is really spent and I could see him doing something like what the old vet did. Clint is also a vet. I'm not sharing my experience with you guys, but take my word for it, that motherfucker is CRAZY!!! BTW, he was arrested for domestic violence against my ex-wife, so there is a KARMA God I'm sure.
