CRYSiiSx2 Posted September 18, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) Following an automobile crash and subsequent attempt to call for help, former Florida A&M University football player Jonathan A. Ferrell was shot and killed by a Charlotte-Mecklenburg, N.C., police officer on Saturday morning, according to the Associated Press via USA Today. Sad story, charged with voluntary manslaughter... I guess if you wear a badge you immune from being charged with MURDER. http://bleacherrepor...amming-national Edited September 18, 2013 by CRYSiiSx2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted September 18, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Murder indicates that it was premeditated. I'm not defending him, as I think he acted horrendously. Voluntary Manslaughter seems more fitting to the facts. It is a sad story, however, I'll agree to that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent0range Posted September 18, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Only a Aggie would be stupid enough to charge a armed cop.... Was that a failed attempt at a sports reference? Texas A&M are the Aggies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kowalski Posted September 18, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Was that a failed attempt at a sports reference? Texas A&M are the Aggies... And was that attempt to act like a d!ck? Even if you attend a A&M university in Florida, in my eyes your an Aggie.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafterman Posted September 19, 2013 #7 Share Posted September 19, 2013 The guy was looking for help ... the lady and the cops were paranoid and misinterpreted his actions ... 10 shots !? Or they were racist. Would this event have turned out differently if it had been a white person seeking help? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DecoNoir Posted September 20, 2013 #9 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) For once I agree with overkill here. Tasers are a wonderfull thing in this case. Bt only if you actually know how to use one. Edited September 20, 2013 by DecoNoir 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted September 20, 2013 #10 Share Posted September 20, 2013 The guy was looking for help ... the lady and the cops were paranoid and misinterpreted his actions ... 10 shots !? I don't think the lady was paranoid at all. Her 911 call indicates that she was freaked out because it sounded like this dude was trying to break down her door. It's 2 am in the morning, and she was asleep. She was panicky, but not paranoid. But I think her reaction is completely understandable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think her reaction is completely understandable. I completely agree with you. But, the cops reaction leaves a lot to be desired. When in doubt empty the clip? a little excessive IMHO. But we will never learn the full details of this one. the cops whole story sounds really fishy in my opinion unless Ferrell had some serious stuff in his veins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent0range Posted September 20, 2013 #14 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Oh? You really had no clue when you posted this that race would be brought up? I for one, don't believe that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafterman Posted September 20, 2013 #15 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Why does everything have to turn into a white person being racist? Well it is a very significant aspect of every society. We judge people by a lot of factors including the color of their skin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
