On Thursday night, an LAPD officer ended the life of a criminal who was armed and had stolen two cars. It was a ridiculously long chase with a bad ending at the Shell gas station at Vermont and Wilshire; the suspect ended dead. An innocent man filling up his car was asked to drop down considering all the commotion that was occurring. He was able to crawl away and then taken away with the help of a police officer. It must have been a dreadful experience for the innocent witness.
Why couldn’t the police manage to keep him alive so he could be incarcerated though? Or why couldn’t they let him survive to consider a retribution to his crime? Was shooting enough to kill him really necessary? I know he was supposedly aiming for people in the convenience store, but maybe there could have been an alternative. Who knows but what is done is done.
This was also an example of negative deviance, by the way.
