週一在湖郡,佛羅里達(dá)警方意外開槍打死了一個他們以為是殺人未遂的嫌疑犯。
星期一清晨,湖郡警局的幾名警員敲了Andrew Lee Scott位於藍(lán)莓丘公寓的門。他們並沒有表明警察的身份,而26歲的受害人Andrew Lee Scott手上拿著一把槍來應(yīng)門。
根據(jù)Lieutenant John Herrell警官描述,Scott的槍當(dāng)時瞄準(zhǔn)了其中一位警員,導(dǎo)致他被警方槍殺。
警方表示他們沒有表明身份是為了安全理由;但像這樣的意外事件可能導(dǎo)致當(dāng)?shù)鼐用竦膱髲?fù)。最大的問題是:即使因為生命威脅而必須開槍,是否有必要"殺死"對方?然後另一個問題是,人們可能會問:在拿槍應(yīng)門時,只有警察可以拿槍對著別人?
可以說這是一個陰謀,或是說這是在錯誤的時間錯誤的地方的意外,無論哪種說法,它是一個嚴(yán)重的錯誤。
警方表示當(dāng)時其實是在尋找Jonathan Brown,一名被控犯有謀殺未遂的男子。Brown曾被人看到他的摩托車停在Scott公寓門口的對面。顯然,這些跡象足以讓人認(rèn)為Brown在這間公寓裡。
Lieutenant Herrell替他的警員解釋說,“底線是,你如果拿槍指著一名警員,你就會被槍擊。”
但槍擊致死?跟槍擊一個人,是兩個完全不同的事情。Scott的朋友跟其他公民,相信警方的反應(yīng)太快、太過度,尤其是當(dāng)他們沒有證據(jù)顯示,他們面對的是真正的嫌疑犯Brown。他們冒險的做了一個決定,而且是錯誤的。
Brown後來在附近很快被警方逮捕,連同Anthony Rodriguez,另一個原將要去湖郡監(jiān)獄服刑的嫌疑犯。
佛羅里達(dá)州的執(zhí)法部門正在調(diào)查這一事件。開槍打死Scott的警員跟在場的另兩名警員現(xiàn)在正在停職。
不幸的是,這一事件只會給公民更多的理由害怕跟躲避執(zhí)法單位。遇到犯罪,警方保護(hù)我們,但遇到警察,誰保護(hù)我們?
原文
Police in Lake County, Florida accidentally shot and killed a man they assumed was an attempted murder suspect.
Early Monday morning, several deputies from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office knocked on Andrew Lee Scott’s apartment door in the Blueberry Hills Apartment complex. They did not identify themselves as police and the 26-year-old answered the door with a gun in hand.
According to the Lt. John Herrell, Scott’s gun was aimed at one of the deputies and therefore shot and killed.
The deputies have not been identified because of safety reasons, since incidents like this could result in retaliation from local citizens. The biggest question most have is: Even if you must shoot at the man because of a threat, did you have to kill him? Then again, conversely, one might ask: Who answers the door pointing a weapon at anyone, let alone police?
Call it a conspiracy or call it just being in the wrong place at the wrong time; either way, it’s a nasty mix-up.
Deputies were actually looking for Jonathan Brown, a man accused of attempted murder. Brown had been seen at the Blueberry Hills complex and his motorcycle was parked across from Scott’s front door. Apparently, those signs were enough to assume Brown was in that apartment.
Quoted by www.wesh.com, Herrell is standing by his deputies, explaining, “The bottom line is, you point a gun at a deputy sheriff or plice officer, you’re going to get shot.”
But killed? Shooting and killing a man are two very different things. Friends of Scott and other citizens believe the police reacted too quickly and too intensely, especially when they had no proof that they were confronting Brown. They made a risky decision and it was the wrong one.
Brown was arrested soon after in a nearby location and, along with another suspect, Anthony Rodriguez, was booked into Lake County Jail.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the incident. The deputy who shot Scott and the other two deputies who were with him are all on administrative leave.
Unfortunately, this incident will only give citizens more reasons to fear and avoid law enforcement. The police may be protecting us from criminals, but who’s protecting us from the police?起來,不愿做奴隸的人們! 希望國警察敲門不喊查水表嘛?倒霉的時候,不好說啊我愛天朝! 拿著槍去應(yīng)門。。。水深火熱啊

放開槍禁所需付出的代價而已
當(dāng)私人領(lǐng)地神圣不可侵犯有權(quán)拿槍保衛(wèi)和警察辦案的權(quán)力矛盾時....希望國好可怕 Post by Victuz (2012-07-18 23:49)
不要以為美國可以亂開槍的哦,城堡條例就幾個州還有。
現(xiàn)在對付入侵者很坑爹,以賓州為例,要警告三次以后,然后再鳴槍警告,如果這個人還不走,你就可以開槍了,
注意是讓他失去行動能力,如果你打傷他了,他已經(jīng)失去侵害你的可能了,你上去補(bǔ)一槍,你妥妥的要坐牢了。操,誤殺就誤殺,拿槍去開門,這樣能是什么好人?據(jù)說不可能回“哦也”。
那么回一句:愿死者下輩子托生在我天朝吧。 Post by 能起什么名字呢 (2012-07-19 00:00)

哦,這樣好一些了。
希望國警察敲門不喊查水表嘛?
武裝到牙齒的希望國警察是不需要敲門的 那像土鱉土啦吧唧的還要敲門
操,誤殺就誤殺,拿槍去開門,這樣能是什么好人?
從美國電影中可以看出,半夜的時候有人敲門,他們拿槍開門也沒啥奇怪的吧? Post by 我怎能不流氓 (2012-07-19 00:05)
美國黑人區(qū)拉丁裔聚集區(qū)雖然很亂,但是到這個程度隨時把槍放在手邊的家庭也還是少之又少。能隨手拿出槍來的人不會是什么太好的人。
