Going Down And Stupid In LA

[posse comatosis]

The other LA:

LONG BEACH, Calif. – Angry relatives of a man shot to death by police who apparently mistook a pistol-grip water nozzle he held for a gun are lashing out at officers, saying they made no effort to contact him before opening fire.

However, police officials say Douglas Zerby's behavior prompted the officers' response.

"As the subject was in a seated position, he used a two-handed pistol-grip hold on an object with his arms fully extended," Long Beach Police Chief Jim McDonnell said. "Somebody that is impaired and waving what appears to witnesses and police to be a handgun. That's what the officers were faced with."

Zerby pointed it at one of the officers and two officers fired their weapons, a handgun and a shotgun. A total of eight shots were fired — two from shot guns and six from a handgun, McDonnell said.

The "weapon" looks more like Spanky's penis in orbit last week than it does a gun....but for the record, the cops are right on this one. Choot 'Em.

Congress needs to form a blue ribbon panel to form a comittee that will draft legislation that will ban these evil and dangerous black water nozzles!!

Shooting of man holding water nozzle angers family

Typical misleading MSM Bull right there.

They should be angry at the parents for raising an idiot and themselves for not noticing how stupid he was.

I mean c'mon, you guys don't carry black water hose nozzles in your pocket? Then point them at police like you are going to shoot them?

I'll bet it wasn't registered either.

Well, you must admit it does look kind of like a Hi-Point....

I see disclaimers will be put on the packaging. " If confronted by the police while watering your lawn you may be in grave danger". Orange tips too.

Damned Hi-cap nozzles...

Darwin wins again. If he was putting this hose to good use like cleaning someones house for cash or at a job, maybe he would not be face up on a stainless table getting his oil drained for good, just philisophically stating the obvious.

Pipe in Nolacop, let's hear some profound common sense from a man on the water side of the nozzle. I can see this post is going to get interesting.

No it doesn't. I would also bet that if you poke it on a hose it will fire water as expected. You can't say that with as much confidence about a Hi Point.

That is true...

If water nozzles are outlawed, only outlaws will have water nozzles.

Another senseless water nozzle death.

We need to ban them...for the children.

What the hell? Seriously!? The LEO's thought the guy had a gun. It looked like a gun. So, if someone points a gun at the LEO's, they are supposed to "contact him" before ending the threat??? I don't think so. I applaud the officer's actions in this one.

These guys already have one of the most stressful jobs in the world, for meager pay.

and more importantly HE HANDLED IT LIKE A GUN!


It's amazing how 99% of our nation goes everyday without getting shot by police.

Could I put some "orange tips" on a couple of my GLOCKS ?

Then, could I OC in the French Quarter ?

I wanted to paint the muzzle brake on the top AR-15 reddish orange, but was asked not to:

My attorney even discouraged it!

 

[LACamper]

^^^Yep. And I've thought about painting my 1911 'safety' blue also.

Since when are California cops allowed to carry guns, much less Shotguns. I thought they were on the London plan by now.

For fun:

if one percent of people were shot by the cops every day the first day would see 3,080 deaths, the second day 3049, etc etc. BUT the birth rate is around 11,000 a day!

In 2006 cops killed about 0.0006666667% of the US population (around 200 people) - this is for the whole year.
