Male LU student shot and killed by cop IN Female Res Annex

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Male LU student shot and killed by cop IN Female Res Annex

Post by manfrednissley »

Tragedy struck my college of Liberty University today. :(

http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/edu ... story.html

A male LU student was trespassing at Residential Annex II. This Annex is former motel two miles from campus that LU bought and now uses for a Girls dormitory. A female student called the Liberty University Police Department and told them there was a suspicious character hanging around. An officer arrived and apparently discovered the male student in the lobby. The student apparently attacked the officer with a SLEDGEHAMMER!!! The girls state that there were 6-8 shots fired and the student died.

Hm. Shame. If only he hadn't gone into the dorm in the first place.

I feel sorry for the person who shot him because she's going to get a lot of flak and probably fired.

I don't think he/she will. The cop was attacked by the student and went to the hospital for treatment. I should also mention that this happened a 4am!

A weapon was discharged. Based on recent current events and that fact alone, something's gonna go down. To quote a movie: "Someone's gotta go to prison, Ben." (metaphorically speaking about how punishment has to be imputed on someone.)

It is looking more and more like this was a premeditated "suicide by cop."

Yeah, I think cops can get away with shooting someone who is attacking them with a deadly weapon still.

Sorry, I thought I was clear. Let me clarify this.

I applaud her for doing her job. I appreciate what she did. I just feel sorry for her because she is most probably going to get in some sort of trouble.

I get what you mean, Whitty. Unfortunately, even the justified use of firearms can cause a huge political upheaval, especially if it turns out that somebody involved in the incident is part of a politically correct (or politically incorrect) segment of society. Hopefully in this case everything will be resolved in an appropriate manner.

It sounds like justified use of force to me - protecting yourself or someone else. There should be no negative consequences from the actions of the officer. The end result was sad for sure, and it'll be a tough recovery for the officer, but there shouldn't be any legal issues arising, particularly since the officer has injuries as well.

I doubt the officer involved will have that much problem.

No thanks, Liberty does not need the type of media frenzy he would bring.
