hmmm. Not enough info to really weigh in here. Plain clothes??? What is that?
You mean to say he was off duty? What?

Come on writers! You can do better than this.

Lesson is do not fight with a cop and do not try to grab his gun…..and you will not get shot……I have lived many years and I can not recall once……throwing down with a cop…….hence…I am still alive….

don’t choke someone if they have a gun….. they should teach this in school or
at home or on the streets somewhere cause it doesn’t sound like it’s common sense I guess.

I have two relatives that are police officers. I know they act tough, which they are. But I also know killing someone is the last thing they would ever want to do. it is a job that I would never do. Most fathers would grieve if they lost a child. But money can do awful things to people. As always we don’t know the full story. Time will tell.

Some people just need to be shot. Not sure if this guy deserved it but many many do.

Not enough info in the story. Come on CBS.

Anyway, federal law permits a regular citizen to NOT stop for an unmarked squad car trying to pull them over, until they get to a populated area. Then they MUST stop. Citizens then have a right to demand proper ID from unmarked/ plainclothes Officers.

This is for safety purposes. Remember the dude in White Bear Lake dressing up as a police officer, packing heat, pulling people over and robbing them. True or not, these things happen. How about the California homeowner killed when “cops” came to the door and demanded entry. Of course, they were not cops.

I’m siding with the victim here. How could Heilman know if the plainclothes cop was or was not a thug trying to rob him? Deputy Waldron did use excessive force, plain and simple. Good thing it wasn’t someone like me who knows martial arts AND use a gun. Someone in street clothes brandishing a gun trying to subdue me would end up pushing up daisies.

You are not alone in your thinking. We currently live in a soviet-style police state.

the cop got beat up and then settled the score with his gun… I wish I was on the jury

The guy was gay and cop though he was a little too close.

by the way the post’s get deleted on this site, one would believe that it is a communist online rag!

It is so easy to get thru life without dealing with police, im 36 I havn’t even had a talk with a cop in 6years, I drink almost daily, spend 2 days a week at the bar, yet never find trouble. Listen if you’re constantly involved with the police either you, or a close friend, or relative is a waste of oxygen. Its so simple to never deal with the police, try acting like a normal human being it might help!!!!
