Shitty that someone who served the public for 44 years had to go out like that, but he brought it on himself. :tif:
baltimore is such a terrible city.
Of all people a cop should know what happens when you pull a gun on a cop.
he walked out of a bar with brass knuckles to join a fight and later drew a handgun
Bealefeld said Stamp did not respond to an officer’s order to stop. The officer used a Taser, sending Stamp to the ground. Stamp drew a handgun, and Bealefeld said the officer had “no recourse” but to fire two shots from his own handgun.
This cop is just a idiot. No wonder why hes dead. Someone who is a veteran officer in a city known for violence should have known better than 1) coming out of a bar to join a fight with brass knuckles and 2) to pull a gun out on a cop after you were already tasered.
Stamp is the seventh person shot and killed by Baltimore police this year. Last year, officers shot 31 people, killing 13. In the past two months, four other police officers have been wounded by gunfire, and another officer was fired upon.
Seven people in 4 months. Wow.
