@TaCRaiD Wow, look how may thumbs down you have. These idiots will never understand that it had to happen, it was in defense. And besides, he'd already been slashing tires and stabbed an officer, which is a capitol offence I'm pretty sure. Just because he's in a wheelchair doesn't make him any different from anyone else, all they did was protect people, and these retards who are probably the first to ask for help aren't giving them one bit of respect. I give you thumbs up because you understand.

First shot was with the shotgun, which shot the bean bag. Then the officer fired his pistol. I think the guy really deserved it.

Must have shot him with plastic/rubber or bean bag, I could have taken him with a rolled up news paper and 4 feet of rope.

@TheDarthvader9999 If he was shot at that range with a standard issue 12ga. shotgun he would be missing an arm.

@TheDarthvader9999 You are dead wrong. Bean Bag Shotguns are standard issue in many departments. As you can see from the video when he is standing that there is no blood on the perp. He was shot with a bean bag shotgun as later reported on the news.
