shoulda just shot him

[QUOTE=sloppy_joes;42756160]As much as this isn't goin to be a popular opinion, maybe the police just saved his life. Maybe the house was being consumed by fire and going in there would've been suicide. I'm sure the police know more about how bad housefires are more than the average homeowner.[/QUOTE] do you really care about death when you might have lost a son. I would jump into the fucking fire for my family, and die with them if i have to. hell i would have attacked the cop if he tried to stop me

[QUOTE=Soldier32;42758899]The police did their the right thing. If they let him go run into his death then they would've gotten ridiculed by the media saying they let the father burn to death and didn't stop him.[/QUOTE] lose-lose situation

When your child is literally in danger of death, your objective changes into one thing and one thing only. SAVE THE CHILD. Sometimes theres a secondary too, SAVE THE CHILD AND NOT DIE. No parents should have to bury their child, its just not right.

Looks like one cop is going to lose his job :dance: Or the father is going to sue for millions and win.

[QUOTE=areolop;42764555]no ans no, rookie. thats not how this works[/QUOTE] how would you know

[QUOTE=Judas;42764610]how would you know[/QUOTE] something about him being a cop might influence his knowledge of cop workins

[QUOTE=Judas;42764610]how would you know[/QUOTE] the officer is not going to lose his job, nor payout in a civil case. the man tasered was AMS which means the officer has the responsibly of keeping him safe. the house was already a loss.. even with an amazing response time by the fire department. once fire and police are on scene it's their job to keep others out of trouble. it sucks that a life was lost in this, but there was no chance of survival of the man had he reentered the house. the officer acted appropriately to prevent the loss of life of another.

they did their job. they're not just gonna let someone else die on their watch

But imagine having the bury the child and the father and leaving the other child fatherless. The officer prevented a child from becoming fatherless by tasering the father thus preventing him from basicly committing suicide. The father's mind was clouded with thoughts of his son dying and he wanted to save him and not thinking about what was actually happening. The officer saw a man running straight into a burning inferno and knew he wouldn't survive. The officer did the right thing but of course the media will make him look like a bad guy.

I'm sorry if anyone disagrees, but the police did save this man's life. When a suited firefighter is unable to enter because the flames are too intense, the father had no chance. I understand the father's position, but blame can not be placed on the officers.

Officer saved his life, no doubt, but the father won't see it that way, at least not at first. Its going to be a good long while, possibly never, before the father sees past it and looks at the bigger picture. Until then, the father's most relevant thoughts about his son will be plagued with fire, death, and physical convulsions.

Death isn't something that one can take lightly, even worse if its family. I'm just talking about the officer because it seems some people are thinking the officer in this case is a asshole because of what he did.
