22 old police offices gets 30y jail for shooting an attacker. Is this right in your opinion or is justice gone here?

[Fromdusktilldawn]

In my country, Luxembourg, a young police officer had a quarrel with a drugged guy who then tried to overrun him with his car to kill him. The police officer shot the car in self defense, killing the attacker.

Now on trial the police officer got 30 jail time. They went so far and invent stories, the police guy was "lusty for murder" and had psychopathic tendences. And came with phrases like "violence is not the way, every issue can be discussed calmy"

This will have bad consequences, now criminals will be like "Look the police isn't even allowed to shoot us or to defend themselves, thats our free pass to get to work now haha"

Do you think this is ok?

Let me tell you about the situation here. Politicians here pretty much ignore the societal issues here. They have the vision of Luxembourg to present the country as very pacifist, peaceful, green, welcoming to everyone and business heaven. The problem is their sheer greed, with the lead of the blue party (capitalist) real estate business are nr 1 priority here. Ergo, policitians wanna reach the goal to have 1million people in our country and they let in everyone, prices rise, criminality rises..

The "woke" plague started in the USA with the radical, far left wing of the democrat party, and it has begun to spread across the world and is the true pandemic. If you think your story is bad, in the US right now, every teacher in public schools is a woke leftist and they are bringing drag queens into elementary schools to promote being gay or transgender. Imagine 6 year olds being taught how to ride a stripper pole and how to tip a transgender stripper. I know some people in here will try to deny this. I will post links that will kill their argument.

I would assume if he killed simply in self defence there wouldn't be a problem. The fact he got 30 years suggests there's more to the case.

[Fromdusktilldawn]

Actually not really. He was just acting in self defense and had split seconds to react. The trial was public. He has no mental illness. The thing is more that the media want to portray him as the villain

[KrakenAttackin]

I am willing to bet the cop is white and the offender was of a protected race. Had this been a white on white shooting, no on would have cared.

[Sixgunsound]

@KrakenAttackin had it been a black on black shooting nobody would care either.

[KrakenAttackin]

@Sixgunsound True enough.

[jshm2]

Yes it's right.

The criminals will know not to fuck with the police or you might get killed by a crazy cop.

But more than that the public should fear that the police in Luxembourg might be as bad as police in the USA.

In the USA you are three times more likely to be killed by a cop than a criminal.

[Staximus]

You're a fucking idiot snowflake

[Sixgunsound]

@Staximus ask him for a statistic that is academically sound, and wait🤣

[Soteris]

According to Luxembourg law the police could only use his gun as a last resort and apparently the court has decided that he had other options at the time which means that he misused his gun to kill someone hence why he is being charged. Completely fair.

[Fromdusktilldawn]

A police man I know actually once told me self defense with a gun is only "right" if you're already being shot at or a split second before getting stabbed by a knife.

[Soteris]

Sounds about right.

[MCheetah]

Luxembourg sounds like New California, to me. Wokesville. Get out of there and other liberal sh*thole countries, like Sweden.

[Sixgunsound]

That is happening in the United States as well. I’m saddened that this is a worldwide phenomenon. It seems like the worldwide elites are trying to destroy law and order everywhere.

[exitseven]

the whole world is like this, not just the US. Wait until people have had enough. Guys like DeSantis will pin medals on people who shoot looters. This trend will spread across the country.

[Surely]

If this is the way that it happened. I can see the police taking their time to get to crime scenes just in time to fill out the reports!
If you can vote out those people responsible for this. You need to do so! Quickly!

[Anonymous]

If the legal system truly believes every issue can be discussed calmly (even when drugged up presumably), why do the police very guns in the first place?
I presume the were mitigating circumstances in this case.

[Berethor]

I don't know the full story, be it sounds like same leftist nonsense what happens there.

[OddBeMe]

I would imagine Luxembourg has a more equal justice system, but I guess I don’t know the deets. Obvi someone with legal experience thought he overreacted.

[Fromdusktilldawn]

As a normal citizen we are also not allowed to use violence in self defense or use any kind of self defense weapons (like pepper spray etc).
I know a guy who intercepted a rape and punched the rapist now he was charged for violent assault as well

[OddBeMe]

I can’t retort as I don’t know Lux’s laws or situation. I passed through it and was quite thrilled sight seeing.

But I would ask you to view info from the other side of the issue and see if you’ve missed anything.

[Fromdusktilldawn]

its not the first time such a case happened

[OddBeMe]

Same here in America. I’m not sure what Lux’s newspapers are like, but ours can be rather one sided.

[BCA6010]

Unless there's a lot more to that story being left out, that's absolute rubbish.

[Avicenna]

That was an insane verdict. And I think you're absolutely right about the consequences.

[Stevefiveo]

Just terrible. The poor officer was just doing his job. It makes a current officer think twice. It also sets a bad precedent for the criminals.

[AngryCarl]

I can't possibly comment because I didn't follow the case. Although 30 years seems like a long sentence for shooting a dangerous criminal.

[cloud9vortex1234]

Was it a Jury Trial or a Judge? I don't know how it specifically works in Luxembourg when it comes to sentencing.

[cloud9vortex1234]

There has to be more to this story for him to get such a long sentence.

[KrakenAttackin]

Fucking hell. Cops in your country will (and should) just drink coffee, do their 8 hours, and hit the gate.

[Jamie05rhs]

R. I. P. Luxembourg. You survived the Nazis only to fall to the SJWs. #sad

[Staximus]

So he was just supposed to get ran over? Sounds like some liberal bullshit.

[msc545]

Depends on who he shot and why. I don't buy your two-sentence summary at all.

[Anonymous]

No, that is absurd and very unjustifiable. It was clearly a case of self defense.

[Calenderagressive]

Yeah because the guy wasn't drugged cop shot first...

[boggboss]

Would need to check over the case before deciding

[Agape93]

Same as boggboss, I'd need to read up on the case
