The "context" is not good. Whether it's justified or not, it's very hard to justify the appearance of those types of baton strikes. You can "beat" someone with a wimpy ass expandable baton and have very little effect on the bad guy and have terrible looking video. Fortunately it's a white guy so it shouldn't draw to much media attention or outrage.Originally Posted by breakingtime91

Can someone offer an opinion on this? Without sound and without knowing if the cops knew he was a PCP user, I can't quite figure out how bad this is.
From my little knowledge, 10 feet from an officer with a knife out and not responding to an officers commands doesn't sound good to me, but 16 shots on target when the person is down pretty early doesn't look good either.

Thank you.

My opinion is that the charge came from the officers inability to stop shooting. It is a classic legal "past the reasonable point" of force use.
One or two shots? Mybe even 10? Good shoot, 100%.
Its like the battered wife who stabs her husband fifteen times. Once or twice in self defense is good work, ten times now we have a problem.

Not sure if this is the best thread or maybe a new one's needed for assaults on officers? Be careful out there. VIDEO HERE.

Skip the first 20 seconds of the video. The DA's office concluded that officer Patrick Feaster negligently discharged his weapon, but decided not to charge the officer with criminal negligence because the DA did not believe he had sufficient evidence to satisfy the burden of proof. The officer acknowledged that he had been trained not to put his finger on the trigger until he formed the intention to fire and stated he never intended to fire. Given: (1) the officer acknowledged his training not to put his finger on the trigger until he formed the intent to fire, (2) he never intended to fire; and (3) he put his finger on the trigger, I think the DA probably had all the evidence he needed to prosecute. I'm not saying the DA should have prosecuted, I just don't buy his explanation for why he didn't prosecute. More information here.
At 1:06-:10 it looks really bad. It looks like he strolls up, sees the whackamole pop up out of the window and places a double tap on him and then reholsters. If I just saw that (which I did) with no audio, commands or knowing that he just killed 8 nuns in a school bus carrying St Mary's school children for the blind, that's be hard not to prosecute. JMHO as a MMQB. Hope there's more to this...

There's some more info, which is in the link I provided. Short story, the guy in the lead car is drunk and the LEO observes reckless driving and pursues. Drunk driver flips the car, ejecting his wife (who dies). LEO sees the ejection and considers this to be a felony stop. LEO exits car, draws sidearm (felony stop), and negligently shoots drunk driver once in the neck (paralyzed, perhaps permanently). Other first responders arrive and LEO fails to mention he shot drunk driver for several minutes until he's asked why drunk driver has a GSW to the neck. There's no dispute regarding the shooting . . . it was negligent. The video is a good reminder to exercise caution when muzzling the subject and trigger discipline. I suspect LEO was pumped on adrenaline after a short car chase and seeing the wife ejected and forgot some of his training.
