Okla. Officer Shoots, Kill Man Holding Child Hostage

[Cjwglock19]

For whatever reason lately I have gotten away from carrying on body daily. I am thankful the little girl is safe! Reminds me of why I got my CHL to start with!

Now that we've seen the video.

What would you have done if you were that parent?

I'm asking this of myself and right now, I don't know.

Excellent shot by this officer!

Yes, it was.

However, if the mother had her own CHL and a touch of situational awareness, the only need for police would have been to tape off the body outline and take statements.

Excellent shot, indeed.

He shot the man point blank range, another officer distracted the man so the officer could execute him.

Poor choice of words.

That was a hostage rescue, not an execution.

Yeah the hostage got rescued and the man was executed on the spot. Agree to disagree.

My. I suppose the cop should have shot to wound. Poor man had his rights violated.

He should have shot the knife out of his hands like they do on them TV shows.

Can't wait to see what Al Sharpton says.
