'And let's not forget....

Spoiler

You can't kill the undead if it ain't 'a headshot >_>

If you shoot the arms and legs they will just crawl after you <_<

It's easy for know it alls to make assumptions of what the officer 'should' have done without knowing what it's like. It's like playing a video game where you get a bonus for disabling some enemy than outright killing them, it's easy to say 'well you SHOULD have just captured the guy', but it's entirely different when you're in the moment and your adrenaline is running with your nerves on edge, the likely response is 'survival over laws written on paper'.

Hell, I already respond like that when I'm playing SWAT4!

SWAT is serious business.

:eep:

I don't know. It sounds a bit ludicrous to me, since the officer would have been close enough to shoot the arms or legs. I guess the police knows what is best. :shrug:

Ok, I'll make sure to tell that to the officer trying to rescue you when some crazy guy is trying to eat his way to your brains.

"WAIT- WAIT.....I know this guy.....he said it was ok to be polite in this siutation. So if you could ask him to stop using "Sir" and "please" that would be great......thanks officer.

Is it wrong I found that sorta funny?

Yes.

you know, the guy could have stopped after getting shot once. its clear he was frenzied.

Zombies don't have thinking capacities. Nor do they feel the pain of non-headshot wounds. >_>

» Wed May 30, 2012 7:10 pm

Yes.

It's just that it was so out of the ordinary and random.

It was more of a shock laugh than anything.

Exactly! Which is why Zach got what was coming to him!

Ok, ok. I was just trying to show my sympathy towards the victim(s). I did not imply that I knew better than the police just that I found it odd.

Sounds like a law that is very easy to bend and exploit. I don't think anyone should be encouraged to use lethal force unless there are no other options.

I agree...laws like Stand your ground or Make my day law (as it's known here in Oklahoma) can backfire on the person who uses a gun in public. Even if it's in self-defence and with good reason, I've seen cases where people have shot someone in self defence get treated like a cold blooded murderer. All it takes is the wrong kind of jury and a sly Prosecutor and you can face life or the death penalty.

"...the officer who fired the shots "is a hero and saved a life.""

"Not only that... it saved the taxpayers $$$...
we put down Pit Bulls, why not our own kind?"

This, and the last line.

Yes, cause if someone was eating your face off, you clearly wouldn't want anyone to help you. The lunatic wouldn't stop eating the guy's face when he was shot the first time.

What?
I was supporting the police mans actions in shooting the cannibal.
And I merely agree with the comment about killing the man being better than arresting him, since in comparison he is no different than a dog.

Gunned down? That doesn't seem justifiable. If the hokerr had been taken down, alive, with physical force however, that I could understand.

Reasoning with zombies? You would die in the first 5 minutes of zombie apocalypse. lol, sorry no harm intended!

Would you choose to wrestle a caanibal knowing he just got the better of someone and ate them - would you take the chance after he ignored your command to step away? Don't think so.

Just for the record, in this particular case I agree with the cop shooting the guy. However, I really don't see how an unarmed, naked dude on drugs is any threat to an armed police officer at all, face-eating or no.

Unless he really was a zombie I suppose.

Okay. You sounded sarcastic.

Once again. The headshot killed him :whoops:

Yeah but from what Sadist is saying is the armed cop should never have pulled the gun out in the first place, and given the police man would have been shocked by the goings-on it's highly unlikely that he'd be able to takeo n the cannibal without some injury.
Think about it realistically; Would you not be confused at sseing that, it'd be enough to throw you off and long enough for the cannibal to turn his sights to you and gain an upper hand.

It's not just that he may have been a threat to the policeman, any other means of attempting to incapacitate him could've resulted in things being even worse for his victim either from the continued attack or the victim being injured as well as the hokerr. Perhaps in an ideal world, but the risks were too high and a decision had to be made immediately.

I'd be thrown off to be sure, you don't really encounter something [censored] up like that every day. But I still believe that a naked junky is no threat to a trained and armed policeman, I can't see the cannibal gaining the upper hand in any situation really. However, he clearly was still a serious threat to the victim, see the next bit:

Exactly, which is why I fully agree with shooting the cannibal, despite him not being a threat to the police officer himself.

» Thu May 31, 2012 12:45 am

I thought you diagreed with shooting him, also if the cannibal wasn't shot he would have killed the victim for sure since he was ignoring the cop.

» Thu May 31, 2012 2:40 am

Yeah, if he had simply been arrested, he would likely have gotten out on bail...but it would have cost him an arm and a leg. :ohmy:

Which could be served at the next lawyers convention. Perhaps the guy missed his calling. Should have been a lawyer and could have had arms and legs any day. More meat than a face as well. though I'm sure cheeks are sweeter.

Yes folks, she went there...
