Questions for My Law Enforcement Friends

by Angel Shamaya

This past year taught us many things. Among them, police officers who killed people under circumstances that seem like they would have landed citizens in prison are still getting paid to follow orders. What should we make of that?

A couple of examples? No problem. I've got numerous such reports on file from the past year, but these two are in a recent New York Times article you can go read for yourself, so I will use them:

March 1: Malcolm Ferguson, 23, 1045 Boynton Ave., Bronx, New York

Ferguson was fatally shot in the head at close range by narcotics cop Luis Rivera during a struggle. Ferguson, who was unarmed, allegedly was selling heroin in the building’s vestibule.

Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson declined to present the case to a grand jury, calling the shooting "accidental." The attorney for Ferguson’s family said there was no evidence of a struggle.

July 7: D’Ande Darnell Cisco, 25, Grand Central Parkway at Francis Lewis Blvd., Queens, New York

Cisco was riding in his friend’s Kia when he jumped out of the moving car. He ran to a pickup truck and punched the driver, off-duty Sgt. Stephen Borchers. Cisco then ran to the passenger’s side of the truck and attacked off-duty Detective Jean Weller. Borchers and Weller shot Cisco five times.

An autopsy disclosed that Cisco had marijuana in his system, but not enough to explain his actions. Queens prosecutors are investigating.

Quite a few police officers read our site; several of them are my friends. A couple of them have called me within the last couple of days -- to offer moral support while I fend off false accusations that I am "anti-cop." I'll ask these police officer friends of mine a couple of questions, and you can listen:

  1. If an unarmed guy comes up and punches me while I'm sitting in my car, can I shoot him five times and kill him and go on about my business? (If not, why aren't those cops in prison for murder?)

  2. If I suspect an unarmed guy sells drugs, can I shoot him in the head at close range, call it an "accident" and go on my merry way? (If not, why isn't that cop in prison?)

I'd love to have a satisfying answer to those questions. Please put your answers in an article here: http://www.keepandbeararms.com/newsarchives/XcNPAdd.asp.

Simple, direct answers to the questions are what I'm looking for, but feel free use as many words as you need while answering the questions.
