I still can't wrap my head around why the thug that hammered Mr. Pelosi wasn't shot on the spot.
He was wielding a hammer that cops told him to drop and he didn't. There have been too many black men shot dead for holding up a wallet, going for their wallet or running away from armed police.
Yet this man who actually bludgeoned a man in front of armed police is still walking around and breathing? No cop feared their own life from a crazed hammer wielding thug but they fear wallets, whistles, iPhones and such? And every damn crime pol ad put out by the Republicans shows some black somewhere smashing a window, breaking into a car to make you think that only crimes committed by blacks is rampant and there is no criminal activity anywhere in America except in big city neighborhoods. And most of the people watching those overused videos don't even live near a big city let alone in one.
Did not take long for it to turn to race...

3. It was probably too dangerous to take a shot at him while he was so close
to his victim - sounds like the two of them were very close together and were struggling violently over the hammer. I take your point but what if they'd shot at the guy and missed, and hit Pelosi instead?

5. Apparently
The two men were physically very close to each other.
Police must make split second decisions and didn't want to shoot the victim.

6. first thing that came to my mind
is the melanin color swatches to determine whether he should live or not.

8. You were there at the moment and saw the sight lines for the shot so you can second guess the police
you ****ing idiots do it all the time

24. I'm more confused as to how the thug got in
Was the door unlocked?

42. He suffers from a pronounced melanin deficiency.
Six days left...

The two men were "attached" and the flurry of legs and elbows meant a clear shot wasn't available
-
The police should have yelled "Hit him again. I dare ya!" The correct follow-up should then have been "I bet you won't do that a second time."

Lurking Mutts, you morons are the first to call out when the Police DO shoot someone. You make claims that they are "judge, jury, and executioner". Do you care to square that statement?

This poster insists on taking the race angle, even after others have offered a perfectly sensible explanation of why the perpetrator wasn't shot.

Why didn't the cops shoot the suspect? Considering that this happened in San Francisco I wonder why the question was asked. I was surprised that the perp wasn't released the same day. If this happened to anyone else the perp would be walking the streets the next day with a summons to appear in his pocket.

1. This R would not mind if the attacker had, if appropriate, been shot.
2. A kudo apiece to the DU-members who pointed out the relevant facts Star Shit-Stirring Racist Moron Samrob didn't want to know or be known. It was a very risky thing to post for snowybirdie, who has just 4,208 posts (not a LPC Noob, but still on the low/new side).
3. Maybe SF's Prog pols should reflect on how decades of demonizing and emasculating SFPD and SFSD has finally affected one of their own.

No need for police or guns. The guy is mentally ill so he just needed an unarmed social worker to resolve the situation. Right, DUmmies?

Agreed, I mentioned the sending a social worker part last weekend.
Another pertinent question: Why was this alleged perp held without the option of bail? I though libs were all for removing barriers based on the ability to pay.

The only occasions where a perp gets to walk due to removing barriers and so on is if a famous Republican is attacked because they deserve it, or something.

If it weren't for double standards, Lefty would have no standards at all.

This says more about you than the cops.

It's funny but all week I've had a song stuck in my head
If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger
I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
