Comments on: New York Police Officer Killed By Fellow Officer Pursuing Suspected Car Thief http://jonathanturley.org/2009/05/29/new-york-police-officer-killed-by-fellow-officer-pursuing-suspected-car-thief/ Res ipsa loquitur ("The thing itself speaks") Tue, 14 Feb 2012 07:32:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: bill ruland http://jonathanturley.org/2009/05/29/new-york-police-officer-killed-by-fellow-officer-pursuing-suspected-car-thief/#comment-57792 Sun, 31 May 2009 06:40:22 +0000 http://jonathanturley.org/?p=11424#comment-57792 This is a tragedy, two young men who with the exception of the color of their skin enjoyed the same values for family and life are destroyed. PO Edwards is dead and PO Dunton has to live with it for the rest of his life and what do our so called leaders do, fan the fire of racism and hatred. That old man from Harlem Charlie Rangel tells the President of the United States not to come to Harlem without ID and Rev Al Blabbermouth Sharpton decides this is a racial problem without even having the benefit of an investigation. How come our President hasn’t rebuked Rangel’s statements and try to calm these flames, because he is worried about taking his wife out on a date.

Thank you for the follow up. To me based on what’s known so far this is more a tragedy than a case of culpability. An unidentified officer in plain clothes, with a weapon out chasing another man through the streets, what were the officers supposed to think? When he turned towards them, still holding the gun, they moved to protect themselves.

Shot first, then ask questions later is no good.

Obviously they’r not cut for this kind of job.
This is a murder.
Throw him in jail or chair, whatever comes first.

Remember the guy they shot 47 times on the stoop of hit apartment block? Well, at least they shoot their own as well.

Hopefully, they don’t train cops in our neck of the woods to be as corrupt and murderous as LA “Ramparts” cops or NYPD cops.
