Life Disturbing video that I have to comment on - Page 3

**Nzoner** · 02-03-2010, 02:36 PM

Sorry for being so morbid today(2nd thread of violence) but I just came across this video on another site and thought it might make for some good discussion as I'm sure if you watch it your emotions will be triggered(no pun intended).

Possibly some of you have seen this or if it's been posted before I apologize.

Before I post the video my take is two-fold and split in that I think law enforcement officers are grossly underpaid and yet in this paticular video I was thinking what a dumbass cop,you've given fair warning,why not just shoot and wound this crazy bastard before he does something crazier.

Below the video is the story,again,fair warning,while not graphic in nature the video is quite disturbing.

Deputy Kyle Dinkheller, Laurens County, GA, was minutes from being off duty when he encountered a speeding pickup truck going 98 mph. The deputy was an ICE (Interstate Criminal Enforcement) officer that dealt with traffic infractions, speeding and the occasional drug bust. This was a low risk or unknown risk stop for speeding. He radioed in the speeding infraction, made a U-turn in the median and pursued the vehicle. The driver, Andrew Brannan, stopped his vehicle, exited and started a crazy, dancing jig in the middle of the road while swearing at the officer and shouting Im a god-damned Vietnam vet. At first, he ignored Dinkhellers commands to step towards the deputy, which always began with `Sir. When he finally complied, he attacked the deputy and a scuffle ensued. The deputy implemented the use of his asp and ordered Brannan to `get back. This procedure was repeated, but after what appeared to be a second scuffle, the suspect returned to his vehicle and retrieved a M-I Carbine from under the seat. The first shots were fired nearly 50 seconds after Brannan returned to his vehicle despite the deputys commands. Brannan ignored the repeated commands to put the gun down and Deputy Dinkheller apparently fired the first shot. Brannan, a Vietnam veteran, advanced firing on the deputy. Dinkheller returned fire, but succeeded only in breaking a window in the drivers side of the pickup and wounding Brannan in the stomach. Using `suppressive fire, Brannan systematically, methodically shot Dinkheller in the arms, legs, exposed areas that would not be covered had Dinkheller been wearing a bulletproof vest, slowly executing him. Reloading his weapon Brannan continued firing with the final death shot to Dinkhellers right eye. "The entire incident was videotaped by a camera in Deputy Dinkheller's patrol car. On January 28, 2000, the suspect was found guilty of murder and was sentenced to death two days later."

Yup. That asshole should have been shot in the legs at least when he went for the gun. Torture would certainly be justified for this one who sucks the penis.

If it's used for the sole purpose of training- Yes! However, this isn't solely used for training. It's on YouTube because some asshat believes the public ought to view it for its entertainment value. If it was used solely for the purpose of training, we'd never see it.

was the cop just not armed? Like I don't get that at least from what I was observing that he even fired a shot? Did he?

I would. Whether it's a military mission, a cop doing his job, or an average worker, if something can be learned and taught from my death to prevent others, by all means.

Yes. This video show cops need to be far less hesitant when dealing with crazy, non compliant assholes. If this video teaches one cop to be quicker thinking and acting and saves their own life or some innocent bystander, then good.

There's nothing wrong with showing this video. What's been done is done; and I wouldn't give two shits who saw it after I was gone. I'm sure my family would be sensible enough to understand why the video was being viewed and for what purposes it was being used and hopefully wouldn't have an issue either.

this may seem unrelated, but it's slightly related and I'm curious....are you an organ donor?

If my death was instrumental is saving other lives, yes. That is the “grandest mission” of all. And I would hope my family could find honor in that.

He is, but he has (most likely in 1998) a 6 shot .38 cal revolver, or perhaps a semi-automatic pistol. But he is very much out-gunned by the semi-auto rifle in stopping power and number of shots.

he probably did get shots off, but he was driven to cover and it would be pretty difficult for someone to get off accurate shots on a suspect with a semi-auto rifle who has you pinned down.

You guys need to read the story. The cop had a hand gun and fired the first shot, 50 SECONDS AFTER THE GUY RETURNED TO HIS CAR! I'd have capped him after he started reaching around in the car, if not sooner.

Jilly · 02-03-2010, 03:09 PM

ftr, when I die, don't record it even if you guys could use it, even if I'm naked and someone wants to use it as art. BUT, if someone does record it, let it be henceforth known that I DO NOT want people watching me die over and over again. My guess is though, whatever way I die will probably not need to be studied to further the human race in any way.

I'm curious as to how you think it's slightly related.

if you die eating sushi, it could be interesting. Probably have to edit the last bit out though.
