I think that would be a hard shot to take even for the ETF. You have curved glass at the front and back of the street car and lots of poles obscuring the view. I believe shooting through glass especially curved is tricky since the bullet loses a lot of energy and can be unpredictable. Even from the side it would be a hard shot because the kid is high off the ground and there wouldn't be an optimal line of fire. A sniper would need a stable platform to take the shot from. The roof of a cruiser or a ladder might do in an extreme pinch, but those are hardly stable.
Man with knife on streetcar at Dundas and Grace, shot by police
- Thread starter Shrugged
- Start date
The keyword is outside. One of the 23 heroes could have locked the door instead of the driver. Do we really need them to just issue traffic tickets and kill us when we become slightly inconvenient? Besides, he wasn't holding a firearm and had Jimmy 9-shot aiming at him and providing cover for this kind of dangerous operation.and there was a guy in the streetcar stressed and armed with who knows what, possibility a firearm. You walk up and close and lock the door, I know the driver won't.
Was the knife small enough that it couldn't puncture anything? if not blow me retard. while your at it check out what happens when you call a cop a pussy and brandish a knife... where the fuck do you idiots come from?so yelling at a cop with a small knife, while alon on a bus, makes you deserve to get shot several times to death?
your obviously a cop or a retard
So cops only issue traffic tickets, right. Again let get really close to a guy possibly armed with a gun and give him better shot.The keyword is outside.

says the turd who just signed up and has 30 posts in 2 days. it must be fuckyville here todayOr a troll.
So your real concern is that more cops should carry tazers?23 people and no taser? And you suggested a few posts above that they responded on mass because they knew what the situation was and came in huge numbers because nothing could be more important, right? Didn't they know they might need a taser for that kind of thing? That's why I said that they should have called for more qualified help instead of just shooting the guy. Why can't you consider ALL the facts before forming an opinion?
You never answered, how long to you wait for someone with a tazer or a MMA expert to show up, not knowing if someone young girl was bleeding out on the floor of the bus?
Yes, they responded on mass because there would be nothing more important. If the police are responding to some guy cutting up people on a bus, they would not bring a tazer. Tazer's are far too unreliable to be used in a life or death situation.
Will agree a tazer would have been nice to have and use in the situation as it was before the guy was shot. Would have preferred the kid was tazered and spend some time in jail, and hopefully grew up to live a normal life.
A sniper could have also walked right up to that door and shot him in the knee. You are making it more difficult than it should be.I think that would be a hard shot to take even for the ETF.

The roof of a cruiser or a ladder might do in an extreme pinch, but those are hardly stable.
Even if they tried to enter from both sides and shot him while doing that, it would have been much better than the execution we have all seen on video. They never did.So your real concern is that more cops should carry tazers?

Also, you don't wait. As soon as you arrive and realize that you need more qualified help, you call for it. Should not take more than a few minutes for them to arrive since they are probably patrolling downtown area on a Friday night anyway.
Just read an article in the Globe interviewing one ofthe passangers. He had made the split second decision to use his bike as a barrier to allow time for the other passangers to get off.
What is intersesting is that previous reports that SM had ordered the passengers off the streetcar were wrong. He was on fact ordering them NOT to get off the streetcar when they ran for it.
It sounds to me like he was planning on taking hostages(or had made the last minute decision too). Kind of puts him in a different light now.
I'm really torn with this. A lot will depend on more witness statements but this kind of thing really starts to make the cop look better.

Who ever said he had a gun?? Why do you keep bringing that up? Did he also have an atomic bomb? Can we just stick to what we have please.So cops only issue traffic tickets, right. Again let get really close to a guy possibly armed with a gun and give him better shot.
turd.... have you read any threads here? some get hijacked some dont most are lame some aren't. half mine have 30 kr more spellng mistakes in each word... who cares? you? ok. . now stop fucking whining.And this has exactly what to do with the topic? Nice try, troll.
It doesn't matter what his intentions were; they never materialized. What matters is what he was alone trapped in a streetcar when he was killed. The cop wasn't evaluating the situation clearly and exceeded required force.Just read an article in the Globe interviewing one ofthe passangers.

did thecop know that? no. he sees a kid calling him a pussy and flashing a knife. coud of had a gun too... fuck it.. shoot him and check later. done.
OMG, So you want the cops to come in at the guy with the knife from opposite sides and try to wrestle the guy to the ground, and if that does not work, open fire. Feel sorry for the cops at the opposite end of the bus when the shooting starts. What would be acceptable police injuries and/or deaths before they can use their guns?Even if they tried to enter from both sides and shot him while doing that, it would have been much better than the execution we have all seen on video. They never did.

You still have not answered, how long do you wait for more qualified help, not knowing if some girl is bleeding out? 5 minutes, 10, 30?
Yeah, make sure to empty your gun while at it. 9 rounds should do that, right?did thecop know that? no. he sees a kid calling him a pussy and flashing a knife. coud of had a gun too... fuck it.. shoot him and check later. done.
Can you not read? You quoted me saying "you don't wait". I never said they should try to wrestle. Don't make things up. I said try to enter, then open fire if still necessary. Have you ever fired a gun? Do you know that there's nothing to be afraid of when you're holding it? Definitely not a guy with a knife a few metres away.OMG, So you want the cops to come in at the guy with the knife from opposite sides and try to wrestle the guy to the ground, and if that does not work, open fire.

adrenaline... it makes people go the extra mile. why not get those extra shots off while you can ? he might not ever have that chance agan. unload... see what it feels like. 99 percent chance he is already dead anyways.Yeah, make sure to empty your gun while at it. 9 rounds should do that, right?
why waste time? they have patrols to do. other people need their help.Can you not read? You quoted me saying "you don't wait". I never said they should try to wrestle. Don't make things up. I said try to enter, then open fire if still necessary.
I was just commenting on the difficulty the ETF might have had with such a shot. And all of us has made the thread more difficult than it should be.A sniper could have also walked right up to that door and shot him in the knee. You are making it more difficult than it should be.
A shot from a sniper rifle to a stationary man's knee from where Jimmy The Killer was standing? Extremely difficult indeed.I was just commenting on the difficulty the ETF might have had with such a shot. And all of us has made the thread more difficult than it should be.
