911 Caller shot by police during manhunt
« on: November 17, 2014, 12:05:32 AM »
I am not even sure where to start this one. Just too many questions from the article.

Quote
Police mistakenly shoot 911 caller during manhunt

 A man who called 911 to report that he had seen a shooting suspect was mistakenly shot by responding law enforcement officers on October 31, Vancouver police said Tuesday.

The man had told police that he spotted 59-year-old John Kendall in the 700 block of Northeast Blanford Drive. A manhunt was under way at the time for Kendall, who deputies said had shot his neighbor earlier that morning.

Background: Suspect dead, two injured in Vancouver shootings

Investigators then confirmed Kendall's cell phone was in the immediate area according to the Vancouver Police Department.

A SWAT team arriving at the scene spotted a man who matched Kendall's description. They were unaware that the citizen who called 911 was still there.

"Law enforcement personnel watched as the citizen (believed to be Kendall) exited his vehicle and circled behind his trunk," police explained. "Fearing that he armed himself, law enforcement fired multiple shots at the individual in order to stop the perceived threat before the citizen could enter the woods."

The man was shot in the leg. He took cover behind a gravel pile and fired a shot back, then he called 911 again, this time to report that he had been shot.

The cops were shooting a perceived threat?!?!?!

I sure would like to hear all of the 911 traffic on this one.

I know if I shoot a perceived threat I won't be placed on administrative leave, I will be locked up. If I can't articulate (prove) a threat existed to me at that time it will be all over for me.

Some animals.........  It's getting old. But I think the public just might be waking up and if so, healing a rift is not on the menu.

I wonder what they will charge the 911 caller with?  No doubt a good opportunity to save face for the popo.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

"Obstructing an officer."

But they went home at the end of the shift, right?

Is it needed to note sarcasm?

So the victim was armed?

A couple of easy ones would be, discharge of a firearm within city limits and assault with a deadly weapon. He did after all return fire once shot.  =|  ;)

Sure hope he can prove he didn't know it was the police shooting at him and he is damn lucky he didn't shoot one of the officers.  More than likely he would have been shot more than just the one time.

I would say the cops are lucky he didn't shoot one of them, and he's lucky they didn't execute him (whether he hit anybody or not)

The lesson from all this is don't get involved -- he never should have called 911 in the first place.

My thoughts also and that my friends is where the police state ends up leading.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Which is why I no longer respond to the call I get from my neighbors alarm company. I do not want to be walking around his place at night checking doors etc when the police may show up- even if they know I will be there, there is way too much risk of some stupid mistake.

They fired all the ammo they had and (mostly) missed?

sad, but the police all went home safe and sound.  Right?  That is all that really counts.  Eh?   ;/
