It's an M1 carbine. The insane thing is the cop is watching him load it when he's standing at the driver's door in the beginning.

was the cop just not armed? Like I don't get that at least from what I was observing that he even fired a shot? Did he?

He is, but he has (most likely in 1998) a 6 shot .38 cal revolver, or perhaps a semi-automatic pistol. But he is very much out-gunned by the semi-auto rifle in stopping power and number of shots.

he probably did get shots off, but he was driven to cover and it would be pretty difficult for someone to get off accurate shots on a suspect with a semi-auto rifle who has you pinned down.

You guys need to read the story. The cop had a hand gun and fired the first shot, 50 SECONDS AFTER THE GUY RETURNED TO HIS CAR! I'd have capped him after he started reaching around in the car, if not sooner.

For all of you cop haters, I'd like to see you be this patient. Cops don't get paid enough to deal with all the crazy assholes in the world.

ftr, when I die, don't record it even if you guys could use it, even if I'm naked and someone wants to use it as art. BUT, if someone does record it, let it be henceforth known that I DO NOT want people watching me die over and over again. My guess is though, whatever way I die will probably not need to be studied to further the human race in any way.

if you die eating sushi, it could be interesting. Probably have to edit the last bit out though.

mmmm....crossthread humor. And I might have to let that be recorded so that I could say I did it and be a legend on CP.

if I didn't have to drive to freaking Nebraska to get it done....

[MOhillbilly]

I bring this up and it seems noone remembers Dave Tate....how did he not get the death penalty?

[Bugeater]

On January 28, 2000, the suspect was found guilty of murder and was sentenced to death two days later.

I wonder how many more years the pile of shit got to live before his appeals ran out. Hell it wouldn't surprise me if he was still alive.

IMO, the officer would have been justified tazing him from 40 secs to 1:10 and shooting him any point from then on.

He should have tazed him the moment he was dancing. A man died who didn't deserved to die and another man lives who doesn't deserve to live. Think about this the next time a video is posted about a cop using a tazer too early on someone. There's loads of videos out there where cops are chastised for tazing or using effective force too soon.
