Reports say 4:20pm
I wouldâve shot him earlier, so yes.
But then I donât care for âshoot at a last resortâ policy the Government has.
Nangers and his mate with the shopping trolley doesnât give you the slightest clue why they maybe didnât start shooting?
Those coppers dealt with it in an extremely level headed manner in the circumstances. They need to take into consideration civilians around them before taking a shot, possibility he may have explosives and IF it is a terrorist attack, itâs better taking him alive so he can be interrogated. The bloke deserves to die but those coppers did everything right
How long till Guy makes this an election issue? I say <24 hours
If heâs got explosives then shoot him immediately rather than hit him with a botonâŚ
They dealt with it they way theyâre allowed to. They way theyâre allowed to is wrong. We need 80âs Victoria Police mentality, not 2018.
If he was out on parole then it will become an election issue.
It should be! The police should be allowed to shoot the guy immediately, the current direction just puts Police in even more danger than they already are.
Police are calling for people who have filmed the incident to pass the clips on to them via Facebook They can be a valuable resource of evidence and may also illustrate to the public the actions taken by the police and emergency services.
We do not want to turn into America on this issue, a shoot first and ask questions later policy is bad. The police should be commended for doing everything they could to detain him without shooting him.
The incredibly brave policemen have only made 1 mistake tonight.
They needed to finish this appalling cowardly criminal when he was lying on the ground.
Do society a favour
Ignore him. He always posts this brainless tough guy stuff.
I actually do want that.
We donât have the gun culture they do so the accidental shootings wouldnât be an issue. A dead criminal saves us tax payer money that can go to rehousing the homeless
I thought they handled it very well, shot when they felt they were on real danger.
Would have loved for them to sneak in a couple boots to the head as he laid on the ground but credit to them
All the clips Iâve seen show them interacting for what, 45-50 seconds before they fire shots?!
Sounds like they did everything right. Tried to subdue him without lethal force, only for a small period of time, then drop the guy. Perfect. Anyone who thinks thatâs unacceptable is, and I mean this with total disrespect, a complete idiot.
Itâs not tough guy stuff, itâs just common sense.
But then you were a carnie right?
Bullshit. We should make them bleed first, not kill them. Imagine the pain he is in at the moment with a bullet wound to the guts? He is probably begging to be let go and into the ridiculous afterlife he believes in, but he is in alot of pain at the moment, or will be when the morphine wears off
Diminished capacity he was on ice let him go.
I actually do want that.
We donât have the gun culture they do so the accidental shootings wouldnât be an issue. A dead criminal saves us tax payer money that can go to rehousing the homeless
You are very misguided.
Police are protectors, not lynch mobs.
And I want this guy to live with what heâs done.
