A prison term isn't even a start on what I'd do to the son of a bitch.

The cons just love bunking in with a cop.

I'm gonna guess he'll get 6 years, 4 years if he behaves himself.

All I can think is too much adrenaline after the car chase caused the deputy to go nuts. No excuse. But it may be why you get him on something besides attempted murder. DA was on Fox and he seemed like a good man

Surrendering to your passions, lacking discipline and self-control: these are unacceptable for anyone in authhority who carries. a weapon. It would be best to get rid of these guys before they screw up and hurt people. Short of that, we hold them accountable.

Of course, the actions of a rogue officer don't represent the police, just as the actions of misbehaving Soldiers don't represent the armed forces.

How very different this story would have been if there had been no video tape. Had that been the case the airman would be facing charges for assault or resisting. It is truly a disgusting story of police excess.

I just don't understand what happened here. Is the allegation that the cop told him to get up so that the cop would then have an excuse to shoot him? Why would he want to shoot him in the first place? There had been a car chase -- I believe, although I don't know details -- but no physical contact or spouting off that I've read about.

I have seen nothing that this cop has a history of aggressive behavior. Does it just come down to racism, wanting to shoot someone who isn't white? That seems ridiculous.

Does anyone have a REASON for the cop behaving this way, unless there's going to be a bunch of details coming out at the trial about him being addicted or having a history of questionable shootings or his marriage just broke up or *some* stupid damned thing that made him pull the trigger in what appears to be a premeditated murder situation, and *not* a sudden fear-for-my-life reaction.

I just got off the phone with Rurik and between us we put together an expanation you aren't likely to hear from the MSM. The cop who did the shooting is Deputy *Ivory* J. Webb. The guy who got shot was Air Force Senior Airman *Elio* *Carrion*. Maybe it's just two old mens' overactive imaginations but we decided an African-American cop shot a Hispanic-American airman for racial reasons. It beats any other explanation I've heard yet.

So he's avenging Rodney King ... ???

Since we're making suppositions here...

My take on it (I don't think I watched the video) was that Carrion was trying to calm the officer down and the more he did the more the guy got torqued. Maybe on a primal level he felt that Carrion was trying to assert dominance.

It shouldn't have mattered. There isn't any excuse for an officer being that out of control.

The deputy should go to jail, but California is an anti veteran anti military state who knows

Good. Justice will prevail. I hope. Most policemen are good, honest people but with the rise of the Police State, there has also been a rise in criminal activity by those who are supposed to protect and serve.

This seems to be one example of a rogue cop who should be behind bars.

In no way could I ever confidently be a cop, or even in the military. If called, I'd go. While it seems the deputy was definitely wrong, it's tough to judge unless you are in his shoes day-in, and day-out. I'm not letting him off the hook, but can really judge him myself.
That's why we have a court system in place. One that works.

Forget the liberal spin that he was an Iraq veteran. The perp was in a high-speed car chase. I don't care what war he was in, nobody gets to terrorize our city streets in THIS country!!

Do you think the DA would have filed charges if the cop had been white?? Do you think the (white) DA is throwing this equally brave, 9-years on the frontlines of crime, policeman "under the bus" because he's black??
