Bode Miller's Cousin Kills a Cop

Ballin!

hmm, i used to go to school with one of Bode's cousins and played on the tennis team with him, but he didnt seem like the type to kill a cop

The cop and his cousin had had previous history. he didn't just shoot the cop because he didn't want a ticket. not trying to justify what he did, just thought it was important.

alright

wow that is really messed up

and if the cop was your dad, would your opinion change. if he was your uncle, cousin, brother, who gives a fuck. hes a human being, and he got shot for pulling over some dick.

your the biggest douche on the site by far. you state first off that your mad that the guy who shot a cop killer. first off, your not supposed to shoot anyone, its not good. secondly, its a fucking cop. these are the guys that protect your sorry ass.

and for the guy shot bodes cousin, good for him. i hope he shoots you as well, maybe youd understand a little bit. the guy just murdered someone...a cop. then a father comes up with a gun, tells the other to put the gun down, he dosnt, so he shoots. if he didnt shoot, bodes cousin coulda gone on to kill more cops, much less innocent bystanders.

wtf kid, grow a pair of balls. then take them out of your mouth so we dont have to hear your constant flowing shit.

who cares that bode millers cousin killed a cop.  being bode millers cousin does not make it right.  murder is murder.

all this post did is make you look like an immature little kid with no ability to actually argue things so you resort to insults.

i did not once say that i was mad at the man who shot the man who killed the cop. the majority of people would have reacted the same way, and with good reason. however, the point that you all seem to be unable to comprehend is that killing people is illegal, plain and simple. you actually supported this in your post, 'you're not supposed to shoot anyone'. note the word you used here, ANYONE. now wouldnt you look like quite the hypocrite making that statement then advocating shooting the one who killed the cop.

again, i am not by any means saying that i feel that what he did is morally wrong, just legally, and i was expressing my frustration that he was not to be charged. the law should remain true for all citizens. letting this man off i really no different than letting off the police officers who viciously beat rodney king. think about it.

thats definitely a really intelligent statement 'i hope he shoots you as well'. deal with the fact that your opinion isnt always going to be the be-all-end-all of arguments. i bet you were totally one of those 'i bet my dad can beat up your dad' kids up until high school.

as for the 'biggest douche on this site' statement, again, you sounded like quite the upstanding citizen there. stating that the law does not protect people doing what they think is right in these types of situations doesn't quite qualify me as such, in my humble opinion.

however, saying juvenile things such as 'grow a pair of balls. then take them out of your mouth so we dont have to hear your constant flowing shit' would seem to make you look like a complete fool.

learn how to speak like an intelligent human being, then by all means, return back here and rip what i have to say apart. at least have the self-respect to do so without making yourself look like a complete joke, for your own sake.

totally forgot about this thread. Yeah for my threads.

ANYWAY, by New Hampshire state law, any individual who is placed in immiment danger can defend themself with deadly force.  After seeing the cop get killed, Gregory Floyd stopped his car, blocking Liko's escape, confronted him with McKay's weapon, and asked him to put the gun down.  He didn't, and Gregory Floyd shot Liko. 

A lot of people have been pissed off by this.  But it wasn't like Gregory Floyd just went up and shot the gun in the back.  He asked him to put down the gun and if Liko had, things would have ended very differently. 

When the guy with a gun refused to put it down, the guy did what he felt he had to do to ensure his saftey in a situtation where his life is in danger. 

I would say, as I did above, that the people who made the decision to charge Gregory Floyd or not know much more about the situtation than you.  Unless you were there or interviewed the people who were, I do not feel you can make the judgement you are so forcefully.




AND lastly.....comparing this guy, who stopped a murderer in an action that he felt was right (while it wasn't in your opinion), to the douchebag cops who ulmost beat Rodney King to death because of his skin color is just ridiculous.

Stop saying that every single person who challenges your opinion is making themself look like a joke when you are comparing a racial driven assult in LA to a citizens attempt to help a police officer after he was shot 4 times and run over.  

holy shit

to anyone arguing..

bodes cousin
shot a cop
who pulled him over for a speeding ticket
so someone with a good sense of justice
grabbed the gun and capped that bitch dead

what is there to argue?

damn yo

intence

this is exactly one of those small rural town cop stories u hear about. If a cop arrests you once, you and your friends are always going to hold him against it, this kenney guy just took it to the extreme, and i am almost positive that kenney was on drugs as well.

There's a huge difference between being in danger and PUTTING YOURSELF in danger.

I don't care who got killed, cop or not, anyone who does that kind of thing without a badge, uniform, and a gun of their own is PUTTING THEMSELVES IN DANGER. and if you put yourself in danger, too bad, that dumb law doesn't apply, now does it? Nope.

I don't care that someone who might be Bode Miller's cousin shot a cop, it in no way justifies having some random citizen place himself in danger, then shoot him dead.

COMMON SENSE: If someone shoots a cop, cornering him with the dead cop's gun isn't going to lead to any kind of "safe" situation, and is going to result in at least 1 more death. There are laws to deal with this, let the fucking laws do what they're supposed to do. Vigilante justice is a slippery slope.

i kind of agree, but he probably thought that he would just have to ask the bodes cousin to put his gun down, then point the gun at bodes cousin until back up came. then he never put his gun down, so he was surprised and the first thing that came to his head was to shoot him. but i am probably totally wrong

I dunno exactly how the law is written in New Hampshire, but I am sure that it will apply whether or not he put himself at risk.

If it didn't, what kind of law would that be?  Would it say once you put yourself at risk, when you could have avoided it, that you cannot defend youself? I highly doubt it. That would be pretty stupid.  Putting yourself at risk can happen in several different ways.  He would have been putting himself at risk when he went over to assist the dying individual (in this case a cop) after he had been shot and run over.  Was he just supposed to drive by? Morally, IMO, it is your duty to stop and help someone out, whether you are placing yourself at risk or not.  I would have stopped if it was the same situation as above, if it had been a car crash, etc, etc. cause I would have had the desire to help.  If I had placed my self at risk, it was my choice.  I would know this and done it anyway.  Same with this guy.  It is within the law to help someone in need, and if in that situation you need to defend youself, it is within the law to do so. There is no rule saying that you waive you right to defend youself in ANY circumstance where your life is being threatened.  NONE.  You always have the right to DEFEND yourself with deadly force when presented with a situation that threatens your life.

The question, then, is was the truly the case here?  Was this vigilante justice or the actions of someone who at the time truly felt that his life was at risk, even if it was due to his choice to stop and help out an injured individual.  I agree that Vigilante justice is a slippery slope.  Personally, I was somewhat surprised that the guy actually shot the guy.  But I don't know exactly what happened right then, and neither does anyone here.  He may have straight up shot him, or he may have responded by shooting him when Liko made an action that seemed threatening to the citizen.  Who knows (the DA in the area certainly has a better idea than anyone on here).

All I do know is that the people who make these decisions for a living came to the conclusion that WITHIN NEW HAMPSHIRE STATE LAW the citizen was JUSTIFIED in his actions.  I doubt the DA's office was pleased about the actions of Gregory Floyd, but in their opinion (and to say it again, to only opinion that MATTERS when it comes to the case at hand), his actions were justified.

and I quote the NH Attorney General:
"Based on the results of the investigation, our conclusion is that Gregory Floyd’s actions were justified based upon dangerous circumstances confronted with and efforts to assist McKay.”

even if the guy does get tried the state prosecution will just get a plea bargain and the guy will just do 1 day in prison and some community service hours to get the last word on that shitbags family. 

its called a stray bullet/ricochet.  thats all the guy would have had to said in court to justify his actions.  do you honestly think the state is goig to argue that considering the circumstances?  it would be like sticking up for the cop killer.

just cuz the police officer was killed gives that other guy to shoot bodes cousin. Its a sticky situation tho and I hate bode miller

.. and the lift ticket girl in Crested Butte is the star witness to all of it....
