September 15, 200719 yr Some you guys are nuts if you think there was some kind of thugery street execution. Let me break it down: Man shoots 4 cops, kills one of them. Manhunt ensues. During manhunt, cops make contact with suspect at which time HE OPENS FIRE on them Cops counter deadly force with deadly force. Suspect dies.

The problem is that people want thugery street execution regardless of whether the guy opens fire or comes out hands up. What if the guy that they mistook the real suspect for hadn't lived in Jacksonville? What if he was in Miami and they found him and didn't realize he wasn't the suspect?
September 15, 200719 yr Author Some you guys are nuts if you think there was some kind of thugery street execution. Let me break it down: Man shoots 4 cops, kills one of them. Manhunt ensues. During manhunt, cops make contact with suspect at which time HE OPENS FIRE on them Cops counter deadly force with deadly force. Suspect dies. Add on the fact that the suspect opened fire on the cops with weapons that could easily defeat their armor and, in the first 4's case, the suspect had superior weapons. All of this done in public places where anyone could have been and where the suspect's weapons could have easily harmed them.

The guy wrongly named wouldn't have had the weapons, wouldn't have had the bullet-proof vest, and likely wouldn't have resisted arrest. He would have been arrested and later cleared. He turned himself into Jacksonville Police after all....why wouldn't he have done the same in Miami?

But the way people here are talking, they want him killed regardless of whether he had weapons. They want him shot on first site. Blow him away and don't let the legal system work itself out. That kind of thought process is plain idiotic.

That kind of thought process is plain idiotic. For the record, I never wanted the suspect "shot on site". He brandished a weapon when the cops were closing in and he paid the price. BTW, the Miami Dade officers funeral is on Tuesday at FAU @ 11:30 AM. I will be in attendance.
