Concealed carry license holder kills armed gunman

No. I don't know whether he identified himself or not. All I'm saying is that if he did and the suspect tried to fight him anyway then physical force is justified.

 

Physical force like punching him in the face numerous times is warranted?

 

That's what usually happens when you punch a cop. The Perp would have been smarter to just submit quietly to being arrested and get a good lawyer. Next time he probably will.

 

Did he punch him? And how was he supposed to know he was a cop. I can buy a badge anywhere. You shouldn't be a cop if that's what you have to do.

 

I don't know if the cop identified himself or not. If he didn't then the kid was thinking he was defending himself against an unknown assailant. If the cop did identify himself the kid was stupid to try to fight him.

Whether it's right or wrong everybody should know that if you punch a cop you are going to get a beatdown. He is lucky the incident didn't escalate to the point of him getting killed.

 

Yeah I couldn't understand why all the involved parties weren't separated and questioned immediately. Now they all have an opportunity to get their story straight. State Police have already fucked this one up. The Marshall was also driving an unmarked car. How is this guy supposed to know he's a cop?

My heart breaks for that little boy, the last minutes of his life he was probably terrified out of his mind.

Blue line will protect its own here again and there will be no justice for this child.

 

I'm afraid you're right this time. It's shocking to me that they let those guys go without being interviewed.

 

i read this yesterday morning and it pissed me off so i didnt even want to discuss it. this firing on people in vehicles who arent firing back or first has to stop.

 

Lots of unanswered questions. Few had no outstanding warrants. Why were the marshals after him?
Three of the officers were city marshals. The 4th was an on duty Marksville police officer who was called in for backup after Few made a run for it. Why does a town of Marksville need 3 city Marshalls?

Since Few had no outstanding warrants why did he try to run? Were the marshals in uniform or plainclothes?
Were the marshals black or white? I could see making a run for it if I was on Martin Luther King St. and I was being approached by 3 armed black men in plain clothes. Or 3 armed white men in plain clothes for that matter.

Few had had a DWI conviction and a few traffic citations but there is nothing about any criminal record. There doesn't seem to be any reason for him to run if he knew the marshals were law enforcement officials. If there was a reason for him to feel like the lives and safety of himself and his son were in danger running makes sense.
