gooselover Posted July 23, 2008 #28 Share Posted July 23, 2008 WOW! That's all I can say. Evidently, something happened within him that he didn't want to live with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wennfred Posted July 23, 2008 #29 Share Posted July 23, 2008 It's the Inspiration Hornblower: http://www.hornblower.com/yacht.asp?port=sd&id=77 Chazon, they must of read my post, it wasn't the Inspiration Hornblower yesterday, they changed the picture. The Orignal pic that was posted was a small cruiseship. This is their new updated pic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Ron VA Posted July 23, 2008 #30 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I personally contacted the media outlet for the story and they apparently changed the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yemaya Posted July 23, 2008 #31 Share Posted July 23, 2008 it said he was a body builder, sounds like possible 'roid-rage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepnite10 Posted July 23, 2008 #32 Share Posted July 23, 2008 please follow up with any addional findings about this.. it s a tragic event for everyone..the man s family and friend s and the officer s involved.. can t try second guessing what the officer s could have done.. police officer s live by the creed of protecting their own.. my son is a oakland police officer in a high crime area..but, regardless of the area..if someone is combative, use a stun gun, mace or baton.. if they have a weapon, then it s rightful to draw a firearm..

Cruisin' Ron VA Posted July 23, 2008 #33 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I wish people would wait for the coroner report instead of trying to speculate as to why this man acted as he did. Unless of course they are the coroner actually examining the body. Please show respect as you would if it were your own family member ok? This was someones son or brother. :( Someone loved him. My father was a police officer for 25 years. My uncle a sitting sheriff for 28 years. Another uncle who was a cop and 2 cousins as well. I am well aware of the dangers and decisions that cops have to make every day. It isn't easy. I can't even say what I would have done in this situation. I do not always agree with the choices that cops make and I think some are too quick to pull the trigger. But I wouldn't want to be in the position. Again please cut out the jokes. Its disrespectful.

dan40 Posted July 23, 2008 #37 Share Posted July 23, 2008 For those that want to second guess the cop. If you take more than half a second to decide what to do, you're disqualified. If you did decide if the cop was right or not in less than half a second, you must live with that decision forever, its unchangeable. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidi n Lauren Posted July 23, 2008 #38 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Again please cut out the jokes. Its disrespectful. Thank you for saying something about the jokes. I saw them earlier before they were gone and I was horrified that people would joke about this situation. For those that want to second guess the cop. If you take more than half a second to decide what to do' date=' you're disqualified. If you did decide if the cop was right or not in less than half a second, you must live with that decision forever, its unchangeable. Dan[/quote'] Wow, that really put things in perspective. I have never thought about it that way before. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CEWayfarer Posted August 26, 2008 #42 Share Posted August 26, 2008 This is a strange story. The sad part is that no one will know what really was going on for him to do this. The toxicology report may tell part of the story, if it tells anything at all. http://www.knbc.com/news/17299454/detail.html?rss=la&psp=news No alcohol, but the guy was a pharmacy....

GamerMom64 Posted August 26, 2008 #44 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I had not seen the story regarding the actual incident. I did see the story about his grieving family and their news conference photo. They loved their son/brother very much and I am sad for the loss of their loved one. We should all be lucky to be loved and missed so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
