A Birmingham, Alabama, police detective who was pistol-whipped unconscious said Friday that he hesitated to use force because he didn't want to be accused of needlessly killing an unarmed man."A lot of officers are being too cautious because of what's going on in the media," said the officer, who asked to remain anonymous for the safety of his family. "I hesitated because I didn't want to be in the media like I am right now."Details of last week's incident in the Birmingham enclave of Roebuck remain sketchy -- such as how did the suspect get the officer's weapon -- but the six-year police veteran said he didn't shoot the man who attacked him during a traffic stop because of the outcry surrounding a spate of police shootings nationally."We don't want to be in the media," he said. "It's hard times right now for us."
Like seriously, do people outside of the area I live in, like not have legs or any non-vital body parts they can be shot in? The fuck is with Americans and their obsession with shooting to kill?

Imagine having all that adrenaline pumping through you, a man running at you, and trying to concentrate on shooting his arm or leg. Life isn't a video game.
That's such a bullshit argument. The police in the news have almost all been shown to use extreme force (shooting men in the back, beating them while detained, etc) and then lying about it, mostly only caught due to eye witnesses and recordings gone public.

Any cop who has killed for any reason outside of immediate defense of self or other is a murderer.

There's nothing to justify using lethal force on a guy like that. YouTube

If it's like a big rock, yeah um that's gonna cause some damage if it hits a cop in the head, and there's the possibility of the guy continuing to strike the cop in the head after hitting him once.
