David Sweat Shot And In Custody!

[Big_Bean_Dog]

Saw something just now about people questioning why he was shot if he was unarmed. Cuomo is defending the cop. I have to wonder if he would be if the convict wasn't a white guy.

I believe that since he is a convicted felon, for capital murder, whose accomplice was armed, attempting escape, the justification of deadly force by LE is detailed in nys penal code. article 35 I believe. Sure some disease lawyer might try to argue it but the media might be the only one giving any attention.

I'm sure Al Sharpton would be screaming if the con was a black guy.

Can you just imagine what BOZO Sharpton would be saying right now ??????!!!!!! He would have his race baiting 11 I.Q. a$$ in such a sweat that the clown makeup would be just running off of his pathetic face

yes, I'm pretty sure the rules on the use of DPF are quite different when it comes to convicted prison escapees.

LE can shoot on sight at a convicted felon.Since the other guy was armed he had every reason to Sweat was also armed...
