Another Jumper

[Kurbanfan]

Ok I'm going to guess.....steroids. They did say he was into body building;)

[Chazon]

By the way, Hornblower doesn't own a ship that big. So not sure where they got the picture from.

It's the Inspiration Hornblower:

WOW! That's all I can say. Evidently, something happened within him that he didn't want to live with.

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:

I personally contacted the media outlet for the story and they apparently changed the picture.

[Yemaya]

it said he was a body builder, sounds like possible 'roid-rage

[deepnite10]

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..

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.

Again please cut out the jokes. Its disrespectful.

 

 

Who's joking:confused:

[BigDfromTN]

Who's joking:confused:

 

I certainly didnt read any.

 

Maybe the posting PoPo's got 'em???

[Cruisin' Ron VA]

Most have been zapped but there are two still posted.

 

Short of calling out the offenders and causing a fight just re read the ENTIRE thread. There is one on each page.

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.

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.

Wow, that really put things in perspective. I have never thought about it that way before. Thank you.

[Lady Librarian]

No disrespect but this quote from the article pretty much says it all: "Drug involvement is suspected"

Ya think:confused:

[Cruise-Crazy]

Wow, that IS a strange one.

[burm]

Paddy Anne, how do you get the animated avatar? I have tried to load gifs but am not allowed?

[CEWayfarer]

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.

No alcohol, but the guy was a pharmacy....

[Cruisin' Ron VA]

When all else fails shoot them in the back. :)

[GamerMom64]

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.

[ray98]

When all else fails shoot them in the back. :)

 

If deadly force is authorized it does not matter where the shot comes from.

[floridacruiser63]

Very strange.:confused:

[Terry305]

[Terry305]

I thought that at first too. but then...........

 

 

 

The article did say it was a gay pride cruise:eek:

 

 

 

Totally out of line, I think they called this "HOMOPHOBIC"

 

Please Please!!!!:mad: how can you said something like that??

[Terry305]

Ok I'm going to guess.....steroids. They did say he was into body building;)
