Spell was an outstanding Hartford Police officer and supervisor. He <br />routinely riddled the city of violent felons, Sometimes daily and yet I heard no public thanks or comment <br />until he put the boots to Emilio Diaz. Nice work Sean.

A multi time convicted felon better suited to a cage than society.<br /><br />Sometimes police work is ugly, it's always dangerous and the city and all<br />of its residents are safer because of the work of Sgt.

Police officers in the state of Connecticut and across this great trump nation are trained to shoot for the center of avalible mass. Let me simplyfy this for you, Officers are taught and practice shooting for the center of the threat, we teach this because as an officer engages a threat combatant in a life or death situation his or her ability to shoot accurately greatly dimininishes. We can't have Officers shooting for people's knees or hands because of several factors.<br /> 1. The officer will most likely not be able to accurately strike that small of a target under stress (you would understand this if you ever shot a firearm in your life) other than potentially having done so while holding a pistol sideways and jerking your wrist back and forth because you believe the bullet goes faster all while hanging out of a 10-68 vehicle window with the odor of marijuana hanging in the air after you speed away from the West Indian club.<br />2. Because an object as thin as a hand, arm, and most parts of the leg do not do a good job of stopping the round fired by the police in Hartford's case the .40 caliber Winchester ranger. This poses a problem for cops because we are responsible for every bullet fired, I DO NOT want to have a poorly placed shot travel through the suspect that I'm shooting at and tragically strike an innocent child or bystander.<br />3. And lastly because we do not shoot at someone to slow them down or encourage them to stop what they are doing in a life or death situation with pain compliance. We are shooting based on the immediate need to STOP the threat that is being presented to the officer or a third party innocent that we are attempting to protect. A suspect with a firearm that is struck in the arm or leg can still kill you....With this being said let me remind you that the officer does not decide when he or she will shoot. The suspects actions do!!! The Officer merely is responding to the situation the thug creates. If folks play stupid games they will win stupid prizes.<br />I suggest you pick up two books, 1st a dictionary (so you can read the second book and understand the words) and 2nd "Into the kill zone" this book may help you understand why police shootings happen they way they do better than attending a blm protest.<br /><br />Make America great again!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-3916688633004333282016-12-10T13:37:52.209-05:002016-12-10T13:37:52.209-05:0012:49pm

That doesn't meant they have won their case. With the exception of the City of Hartford, who has established a reputation as caving in and settling for the easy payout instead of fighting and standing for what is right<br /><br />Abuse by police officers is wrong. Legitimate cases that are documented and clearly justified should be dealt with severely. That is not the case here. Where is the proof, I still don't see it in that video and no one can tell me that out of 45 police officers, there that they are all corrupt and saw nothing and refused to speak up, probably because there was nothing to see that would rise to the level of an assault. And only one camera view out of all the video on scene? And where is the video from the Hartford students recording it from the sidewalk. Did it not show what the investigators hoped for or maybe it did show something from a different angle that would explain Spell's actions.<br /><br />In case you don't understand felonies and misdemeanors, your hope of seeing Spell in a cell would never happen. These charges are almost not even worth the time and effort it took to bring them. People committing shootings and armed robberies aren't going to jail, never mind for two misdemeanors.<br /><br />Finally, a police officers firing a gun is called use of "deadly force for a reason". If and when the decision is made to shoot, it is done for the reason of permanently stopping the threat and is intended as the last resort. It is not to shoot and wound or shoot to scare, that is why "warning shots" from earlier days are a thing of the past. When a police officer pulls the trigger, it is to kill a threat, pure and simple. A wounded suspect can still injure or kill, a dead one usually can't.<br /><br />We can't always have the luxury of second guessing these decisions, what we have to do is insist on the highest standards in hiring, training and accountability as well as transparency to know we are getting the real facts when needed<br /><br />And finally, I find it odd that you would condone a suspect being dragged to a creek and drowned by police, but you question the use of deadly force by a police officer firing his weapon?It almost sounds like you support vigilante efforts but not proper police procedureKEVIN BROOKMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06597937634837295016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982633190780306493.post-69570769812293452452016-12-10T13:23:37.188-05:002016-12-10T13:23:37.188-05:00You don't have to shoot for vital organs to br...You don't have to shoot for vital organs to bring a man down?

I can see that I have a disagreement. First, I have no moral empathy for that POS that was arrested. I didn't really care that a foot came down on his head. The accused should have been dragged down to a local creek and drowned. Ok? Does this make our friend po-lice know they are supported by the community?<br /><br />The point I most disparage is the fact that this PIECE OF SHIT will now be able to sue for a large amount of money. He will in the end, settle perhaps for a few hundred thousand. And who pays for it? We, the citizens of Hartford. I don't need or want to see a cop pig lose control just to satisfy his own desire for revenge at my/our expense. I hope that cop bastured goes to prison and is housed next to our resident POS. <br /><br />They would make wonderful cellies. This leads me to wonder just how much psychological testing it performed to weed out those police cadets who will be susceptible to losing control.<br /><br />This last point has always been my question especially as it applies to shooting.
