"Deputy Dinkheller was shot and killed after pulling over a man on a rural road about 6 miles north of Dublin, Georgia. During the traffic stop he called in for backup. Before the backup arrived he was shot by the man with a rifle. He was able to return fire, striking the suspect in the stomach. The suspect was found during a search the next morning and taken into custody. The entire incident was videotaped by a camera in Deputy Dinkheller

The average idiot has NO idea how scary and stressful it is being a police officer.

Every single day you go to work you risk your life. For generally modest pay and little gratitude. Almost every police officer has worked with someone who lost their life doing something they themselves have to do every day they wake up. And people in America are not exactly lining up for careers as police officers. We should be thankful for the ones we have, because the alternative is chaos.

Which is why it irks me when these stupid liberal pansy ******S with 3 inch ***** wanna crucify an officer who retaliates against someone who provoked HIM.

Honestly, these stupid kids who think they're know-it-alls and rebels on the internet should be the ones getting beat the **** down.

Officers should be in control. You should not overreact when provoked. Someone in your face or being an ass is different than someone putting your life in danger, although sometimes they are likely one in the same.

Sad thing is if he woulda done that, there'd be millions of internet turds crying foul and demanding this guy be hung out to dry.

This is the exact REASON cops draw their weapons prematurely. And every time they do, it's all over the news, and a bunch of nerds who've never been in danger get on a soapbox and profess righteousness.

It's seriously sickening.

Yeah it does seem kinda weird, although who knows how hard it could be to aim a gun steady when you're in that kind of terror.

The strangest part is that he didnt fire immediately as soon as he saw the man had a gun. That's what I'd do, but dude was probably thinking of all the shit he could get in if he did. And then he ends up dead because of it.

It's really too bad someone like "DeuceWallaces" didn't end up in that position instead of this guy.

Canada sucks. The State of California is more powerful than Canada. It has more people, more cars, more money flowing around, then ALL of Canada combined.

How f*ucking pathetic is that!!!! Just 1 state out of 50, has more going on than your whole Country. How sad. It probably is so boring living in Canada.

Another Canadian.

Dude, California has 3 million more people. When you sell all of its assets owned by people like homes, cars, companies, etc you will get more money from Cali than Canada. 3 million is a big number.

In other words, California is worth more than Canada. Now that is sad.

But how the hell does Canada with that much more space have less people in it than just California? Well, Canada is so boring who wants to live there? Makes sense.

That cop should have ran up to the door and put the gun to his head. I would have blown his god damn head off. Not pleaded like a b*tch for him to come back. This guy was a god damn cop, he is suppose to be the boss. His passiveness cost him his life.

This didn't have to happen. The cop was either a rookie, or very dumb. How are you going to let a guy do all that shit and not have your gun drawn? You can shoot the guy if he goes back to his car like that to get something. I would.

Man that is difficult to watch. Reminds me of the cop car video of Bodie Miller's first cousin where he kills that cop out in the country. The only difference is a passerby grabbed the dead cop's gun while the guy was reloading and killed him with it.

BTW- The ammunition that rifle uses is pretty weak, I doubt it could have penetrated the cop's body armor. He must have gotten a head shot.

Fight or flight. Anyone put in the same circumstance would have froze unless you're a stone cold killer which obviously this cop was not. That's why Vietnam vets are crazy. They've seen so much f*cked up shit that it's second nature to them to pull out a gun and start blasting away. Thrown in the jungle and ordered to kill or burn men, women, and children.

So yeah, fight or flight. This officer, unfortunately for him, was stuck in the middle.

Dude but look what happens every time an officer does that. He ends up suspended, while there's an investigation, and the media reports it everywhere, and a bunch of internet sissies start anti-police campaigns and all that.

The officer was trying to resolve this conflict as peacefully as possible and he was killed because of it. Potentially (i dont know) a widow and a bastard are left behind because of it. But if he hadn't done it that way, he'd have probably lost his job because of the pressure from ideological ideots and liberal retard pansies that get all in the police's face when they defend themselves.

It's seriously just sickening.

You know what? Cut the BS already. Police officers CREATED THEIR OWN IMAGE FOR THEMSELVES. We didnt just SUDDENLY ALL STARTED TO HATE THEM with any reasoning.


Their corruption, wreckless behavior, shady, violent ways along the years CREATED the public perception of what they are TODAY.



Even now, there are officers in damn near every precinct that are two faced, and dealing in illegal activity where their fellow officers cover for them.




So why get mad at citizens that do not trust them? THEY created that negative image, and now we're supposed to suck it up? Are you kidding?

Yeah I understand there are a lot of people like that, but being a cop you have to be a take action kind of guy. I understand now why cops go through such training to be able to make the decision to use deadly force. It just pisses me off so much when someone being taken advantage of or threatend avoids the confrontation. This cop really tried too hard to calm the situation down when it was clear his life was in danger.

It's amazing how war can just totally change a person. The post traumatic stress made that vet crazy. I feel so bad for that cop though. It was probably such a shock moment for him. He probably was thinking like this is not really happening.

This video really changes my view when I hear about cops having to use deadly force. It's no wonder they are trigger happy.

Yeah, that's why I hate it when other cops f*ck it up for the good cops. Like the video that I just saw of the cop punching a hand cuffed guy in the back of a cop car. That's the kind of sh*t that is going to make a cop lose his job for protecting himself in danger the next time it's necessary. Cops really do get put in some scary situations that get judged by people who can't imagine having to make the life or death choice.

I have been told by some Hispanics that Hispanic cops treat their own race worse than the white and black cops. Just a couple of days ago, some guy was telling me he blew a .08 on a breathalyzer and the white cop was going to let him go for being right at the minimum, but his latino partner insisted that they take him in.

I doubt for the most part that is true, it's more likely jus a matter of most cops in southern california are hispanic, and hispanic criminals assume that the cops should "be cool" and let them get away with stuff, and that the ones who don't are hating on their own people or somethin.

beverly hills, maybe. i lived in burbank and its maybe 50% hispanic, 50% other. obviously i was using hyperbole when i said 4/5 cops are hispanic, but anywhere in southern california it's about 50% at least. And there's almost always more than 1 cop patrolling together, seriously if you get pulled over or approached by police, it is a VERY significant chance one of them will be hispanic.

so this notion that hispanics are profiled out here by "whitey" is frankly just a fabrication. about half the people are hispanic, and same holds true for the police force

"In 1990, according to the report, 45 percent of graduates from the Police Academy were white; 30 percent were Latino and 19 percent were black."

"By 2008, Latinos made up 42percent of all sworn officers, up from 33 percent in 1999. The proportion of white officers fell from 47 percent to 37 percent"

And whites probably have a higher percentage of longer-tenured officers who are no longer patrolling. Patrolling is for the younger officers which are increasingly Latino, I guarantee at least 50% of patrolling officers are hispanic.


So anyway, the idea that a hispanic guy in California is getting harrassed by cops for his race is just a GTA fantasy.

Called it! They stopped using the M1 Carbine in the Korean War because it had difficulty penetrating the N.Koreans thick winter clothing, so I knew it couldn't penetrate the cop's body armor with effectiveness and it probably had to be a headshot or a bleed out that killed this poor officer.




BTW- The ammunition that rifle uses is pretty weak, I doubt it could have penetrated the cop's body armor. He must have gotten a head shot.

it's 42% apparently (give or take)

"In 1990, according to the report, 45 percent of graduates from the Police Academy were white; 30 percent were Latino and 19 percent were black."

"By 2008, Latinos made up 42percent of all sworn officers, up from 33 percent in 1999. The proportion of white officers fell from 47 percent to 37 percent"

The LAPD is one of the few examples I could see where there might be more Hispanics than whites. You have to remember the LAPD has a policy to hire on skin color first. It has to be one of the least discriminating and highest acceptance rate departments in the nation. At one point I believe its acceptance rate was 6% which is insane. They are also rife with corruption. Very few well qualified people pursuing a criminal justice career will apply with the LAPD, and if they do, they just use them as a stepping stone to a better LEO job.
