Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19314724 Man driving home from work dumps bike as child runs out into the street. Man tries to render aid to child. Father of child and others go ape-shit on man. Man fears for his life and caps mofo attacking him. Mofo stops attacking. Seems pretty simple to me. and yeah, ALWAYS trust the media when reporting about cops. Ok, then, cop was planning on hitting the child so he could murder the father. He just had to wait for the child to run out into the street. STFU already. No, I do NOT buy most of what the media says, but some things seem pretty cut and dry. |

Shortly after, the officer drew his weapon and fired once, fatally wounding Middleton. He was pronounced dead at around 10:14 p.m. Saturday at Loyola Medical Center. Quoting: Nostril Domus “At that point he’s defending his life — he’s on the ground, he’s about to lose consciousness from the people who are beating him and draws his weapon in defense of his life,” Camden said. “The officer responded accordingly.” Sounds familiar!!! Yup, and I fully support it. People need to understand how to control their emotions. Put it this way, the Dad should have directed ALL of his energy into helping his little girl. Why he was too concerned about beating a cop instead of helping the 4 year old is beyond me. |

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW THAT ??? were you there ??? are you a god ??? 2. was the cop tested for DRUGS and ALCOHOL ???? ANYBODY ELSE CERTAINLY WOULD BE !! 3. was the cop SPEEDING ??? it SURE SOUNDS LIKE IT. 4. motorcycles can STOP VERY QUICKLY. 5. and are VERY MANUVERABLE. he has NO TIME TO STOP, he has NO TIME TO TURN AWAY, but time to lay the bike on it's side ??? I DO NOT BELIEVE IT. he probably tried to turn, and JUST LOST CONTROL. then, he made up the "lay the bike on it's side" story, to fit the evidence, while portraying himself in the best possible light. 5A. are motorcycle cops TRAINED to lay the bike on it's side ??? 6. was the cop ticketed ??? (being out of control of your vehicle is a ticketable offence) (being ticketed goes a long way twards proving guilt) |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 2773589 United States 08/15/2012 02:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1131166 Yes because thats what civilized people do. Accidents happen all the time, doesn't give one party the right to try to beat them to death. If I had a gun and was being attack I would of shot him as well. I cannot BELIEVE you just said that. I would rather be uncivilized and die fighting than be someone like you. I would rather tend to my daughter then fight a cop for accidentally hitting my daughter, he jumped off his bike to try and avoid hitting her, it was an ACCIDENT! the dood is an angry black guy and he deserved to be shot in self defense. You blacksicans never learn. Attacking a cop is not a priority over the wellfare of my daughters being. sorry just isnt you freakin' idiot. you DO NO DO NOT DO NOT know how you would react in a similar situation, nor should you be judging others for reacting that way. I hope you find out someday, but everybody lives. You judgmental arshole. My daughter was walking down our street, a black man and his son were playing in the near by park when their pit bull grabbed my daughter by the wrist yanked my 3 yr old daughter to the ground and began dragging her, 17 stitches. Did i kill the dog? no, did I attack the black guy? no I ran to my daughter scooped her up asked the man to call 911, he did, he kept apologizing and I said with anger in my voice "its not your fault it was an ACCIDENT! yes i have been there I just choose to live with compassion for my fellow man then harbor hate like the majority of South Central, Watts, Inglewood, and LA do, and that is not be stereotyping, that is fact! |

Cops are not trained to shoot to wound. The situation either warrants deadly force or not. Obviously a man who lets 4 year olds play in the streets or wander around neighborhoods to be molested is a few fries short of a happy meal. What if a man who is a few fries short of a happy meal is bigger than you and has friends with him? |

Cop had a broken shoulder and a broken leg. He is knocked down by a punch out of the blue while trying to assist the girl, and then is getting stomped to death. All you people who don't understand deadly force have never FACED deadly force, that's obvious. Well, in the real world animals often attack other people trying to kill them and/or inflict damage that could maim them for the rest of their lives. People who don't understand the concept of self defense up to and including deadly force are either too young and too sheltered to even contemplate it, or they are simply moral and physical cowards.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 18335718 United States 08/15/2012 02:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Moments after his motorcycle struck a 4-year-old girl, an off-duty Chicago Police officer shot and killed the girl’s irate father after he allegedly attacked the officer, the Chicago Sun Times reports. Quoting: Nostril Domus Fraternal Order of Police Spokesman Pat Camden identified the officer as a 43-year-old veteran of the Chicago Police. The officer was headed home on Saturday evening when the horrifying incident occurred. As he was driving home, the officer says he saw a child unexpectedly run into the street. In order not to strike the girl directly, the cop jumped off his motorcycle, pulling it down on its side on the pavement. However, the motorcycle skidded and flipped, hitting the 4-year-old girl and her 18-year-old cousin, John Passley. As the officer attempted to provide aide to the girl, her father, identified as Christopher Middleton, 26, came running out of a nearby restaurant and aggressively approached the officer and began shouting, officials said. The cop argues that he identified himself as a police officer but Middleton still hit him in the face and knocked him to the ground before striking him repeatedly. According to the Daily Herald, the officer said, “Take it easy, I’m the Police.” But Middleton replied, “I don’t give a f*ck who you are,” and punched him in the face. [link to www.theblaze.com] The police officer is in the wrong. Any normal parent would be out of their minds and attack anyone that would harm their child. It is human instinct. Are you retarded? The guy was in some restaurant while his kid was outside running around in the middle of the fucking street. You people are SO STUPID it is unreal. In the real world, you can't just attack people. The kid was with an adult when she was in the street! Please read all of the story before posting bullshit. Hey Coke-Nostril Dumbass, you reread the article. Pay close attention to the RED lettered sentence. She ran into the street in front of him! |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 7321230 United States 08/15/2012 02:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | While I don't think the father should have been shot, there really is no excuse for a 4 year old to be darting into the street suddenly. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7321230 Kids are stupid. It was hardly the officers fault for hitting the girl with the motorcycle. That sort of aggression was not warranted, he should have gone to tend to his child. You can kill someone by punching them... The whole situation is tragic but could have been avoided entirely... you people sure are good at Monday morning quarterbacking. There is "no excuse for a 4 year old to be darting into the street" ? You're kidding right? Let's be clear here, we are talking a 4 year old vs. a policeman who is known to be 99% of the time on a power trip and if he's got a motorcycle, he's got a screw loose in the head and too much testosterone. In your clean little politically correct world you made for yourselves, you seem to forget that a father's role is not to nuture, but to protect his family by removing danger. If more father's reacted like this, the world would be a better place. The fact remains that cops across the country are tasering and killing people who they could easily subdue with an armhold or with diplomacy. They are storming into houses and shooting people and dogs. They can stop everybody at a stoplight because someone told them the "robber went that-a-way" and perform illegal search and seizure. If one runs over a 4 year old with his bike - and he SHOULD HAVE BEEN GOING AT A SPEED where he could STOP for anything - which motorcycle riders and cops RARELY do - I'm siding with the 4 year old and her poor dead father. Oh shut the hell up. My father in law is a cop and he's a great guy. Gave everyone a fair shake and put his life on the line for people who would no sooner spit at him than shake his hand. He was shot by teen thugs while driving his family home, took 4 bullets and not only did he stay on the road and keep his family safe but drove miles to the nearest police station with 4 fuckin bullets in him. Later during the trial he requested a lesser sentencing for the young men even though they could have easily been tried as adults (they were 16-17 years old) because he believes that ALL people are capable of turning their lives around. These young men could have killed his wife, his three month old son, his 4 year old daughter or his 10 year old son but he plead for the judge to have MERCY on them. I know a LOT of good men that are police officers and it's a shame that the public has such a low opinion on ALL of them because of the corruption in SOME. Also, my brother was hit by a truck once. He was crossing the road when it happened. Did my father or mother take the driver of the truck out and start beating him? Hell no they went to tend to my brother EVEN though the truck WAS speeding when my brother was hit. Afterwards, the driver wasn't charged with much because my brother illegally crossed the road and my parents didn't blame the driver but themselves for not keeping a better eye on him (He survived by the way. Didnt even break a bone - but it WAS only a day after getting a cast removed from his wrist lol) How hard is it to watch your kids? Yeah, you aren't going to be a perfect parent and things ca happen in an instant. But if that happens, it was still a lapse in YOUR judgment. As a parent you have to be prepared to deal with the consequences because your childs well being does belong in your hands. That isn't to say you can prevent everything. But a child darting into the road is something that can easily be preventable. I know when my children are that young, I am going to hold their damn hands when by the street and not let go until they are old enough to be aware of their surroundings. It's called goods parenting. It doesn't take a politically correct world for this to be possible, it takes a RESPONSIBLE one. Imagine that. |

At least he had the opportunity to do so. Unfortunately in Illinois -- normal citizens aren't allowed to carry. So had a normal citizen been riding the motorcyle and had the accidentally injured the girl then the normal citizen would be dead. Illinois does not issue concealed carry licenses, nor does it accept CCLs issued by other states. It is the only state that has no provision for the concealed carry of firearms by citizens. (In compliance with the federal Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act, retired police officers who qualify annually under state guidelines are allowed to carry concealed.) Open carry is also illegal, except when hunting, or in a fixed place of business with owner's permission, or in one's abode. When a firearm is being transported, it must be unloaded and enclosed in a case. There are several pending lawsuits challenging the state's prohibition of the carrying of firearms in public PS: I'm not hating on cops, just hating on gun laws.
