One less thieving scumbag. If only the same thing had happened to the thieves that stole my bikes!

I was just thinking a similar thing. At least they got caught.

The bike's owner was lucky not to get accidentally shot by the cop, as the thief was directly between them.

Not clear from the vid - but it looks like the thief had pulled the gun from his waistband and was pointing it the cop just as he was shot. You can see the cop quickly pick the gun up after the guy toppled to the ground.

The saying goes " you live by the knife, you die by the knife".
Waste of a life, but one less bike thief..
Think he would have got the same justice over here, maybe a few years for armed robbery but would still be alive.

Virt your showing lack of thought. I'm not going to be getting in the queue. I'm going to stand on the other side of the road and shoot you all.

Yeah but youd complain about girly wrists aching and then turn it into a supermoto by adding flat bars.
