Criminals aren't usually known for being the smartest people around. This is especially true with armed robbers, who put everyone in an incredible amount of danger for such a small "reward".
In this case, the suspect's just reward came in the form of a bullet from an off-duty Police sergeant... the fact of the matter is simple. You forfeit your right to live when you put other people in mortal danger as this robbery suspect did.
This officer involved shooting occurred in San Pablo California while the off-duty Police Sergeant was just enjoying a burger on his day off. The armed robber, now identified as 29-year old Amanuel Moreno, entered the establishment and proceeded to rob the place.
Just as the suspect pulls his gun and orders the clerk to hand over the money, the off duty shouted a warning for Moreno to drop his weapon. Moreno refused to comply so the officer fired a single fatal round, killing the suspect.
This is a pretty clear cut case but you never know what the anti-police crowd will do with it. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
Be a crying shame if every armed criminal were shot at scene.
Getting shot during the commission of a felony is an occupational hazard.
Shoot twice to be sure !
Shooting twice is called a "double-tap," and some cities are now teaching the police to do it as SOP.
I think the case open and closed if suspect would have complyed with officers command he would still be alive
It is time to stop the games and step on these demorat thiefs Hard and then may be the rest will get the point !!!!!!!!!!!!
If we had more police officers doing this our crime rate would go down! this is what police do protect people!!im happy there was an officer there to stop the robbery!!!
Live by the gun, die by the gun.
Anyone speaking out against the officer is proof of what a reprobate mind is.
Maybe do the same at the malls when the smash and grab Gangs show up might stop the lawlessness in our country but then again our Democratic government is promoting this kind of Tierney
If only security were allowed to take action when shoplifting is happening in one of the stores. The security at a mall is NOT allowed to do anything to stop thieves! Their hand are tied by the mall they work for. How crazy is that?
Shotguns loaded with rock salt would give them something to think about.
00 buckshot would be better
It's a liberal thing to not be tough on criminals.
I thin the smash and grab bunch should be shot on sight!
The problem. there is malls stopped hiring groups of cops at malls. Same with schools, damn school boards took the money away . THE resource officers were a good aliason to spot the trouble makers before things got way out of hand. Thus, school shootings are back. Reenact school resource officers!! Good deterrent.
Thank God it was the criminal that died and not the officer or an innocent citizen! One less loser to feed, clothe and house in jail.
One Less BAD guy
Good for her. She did the right thing.
I like stories with happy endings.🙂
Good shot! One more asshole bites the dust.
Did the cop, get his burger free, after that?
The suspect should have complied. Kudos to the Sgt.
As a retired police officer and Chief of police. I must commend the sergeant for his actions.
got what he derserved!
He was breaking the law, so he decided his own fate. Death or prison, it was his choice.
Oh boy! God help that policeman!! the crazies will come out o the woodwork and want him hung in the village square!!
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. One more dead asshole . Cop did his job. Needs a few days off and a bonus.
Just think of the community savings, No trial, no jail expense, and no free defense lawyer!
WELL DONE SARG, YOUR TIME HAS BEEN WELL SPENT THAT THE RENGE TO BAD MORE OFFICERS SPENT MORE TIME AT THE RANGE.
Good shot, officer, and good job. Killing someone is traumatic, but you had to do it.
Hurray for the cop. If I had been there, I would have praised him as the hero he is. Don't worry about the anti-police morons. They're always looking for something to gripe a out. They need to shut up and get a job.
Justified
Good shoot for sure. To bad there's not more of it.
The officer did what he was trained to do!! HOORAH!
Life is all about decisions - think before you make a life altering one!
He finally got what was coming to him.
Dumd is stupid sorry for his lose.
Stupid acts beget stupid results: Name and face of the deceased posted in the news.
Thanks for a job well done SGT. thank you for your service
THE DEAD JERKE GOT WHAT HE DESERVES, THE POLICE OFFICER SHOULD GET A COMMENDATION
FOR HIS SWIFT ACTION BEFORE SOMEONE GOT HURT
Should, but this is California, land of the liberal snowflakes. Most likely get demoted, if not fired. Here are the liberals replying, "How dare he go into an eating establishment with a gun". Sane and responsible people, "Hey liberal idiots this is exactly why".
We need to support the police at all times. Note: I wouldn’t have their job for anything! That is a calling.
GOOD, HE WILL NOT ROB ANYONE ELSE.
What a heartwarming story, I would have loved to have seen a video of it.
thank God there are still peace/police officers willing to protect us....i wish with all my heart that all police interventions have a good ending.
If a robber who is committing a robbery, and doesn't give up when a off duty police officer tells him to stop . While officers displaying a gun. The innocent people.
wouldn't have had chance with this guy!!
I am darn sure the robber would have shot a few more people, while committing this crime. We are very lucky to have had police officer there. As alot more people, would have been missing their loved ones at Christmas time.. Robbers beware people have had enough of your robberies!! TIDE is turning back to law and order!
The off-duty cop should get a promotion and pay raise. He risked his life twice over because he performed his mission during his off time. Thank you Officer!
There seem to be no repercussions in the courts anymore, so maybe if there were more on-the-scene consequences like this, Maybe criminals would think twice about pulling a stunt like this.Maybe.
Actually, criminals are too stupid to think that way. Many decades ago I interviewed a burglar who was emphatic that he was innocent. So I asked, "Did you enter the home without permission?" Answer: Yes. Question: "Did you remove anything of value out of that home without permission?" Answer: I didn't need permission because the side door wasn't locked. Question: "You just admitted to burglary.: Answer: it wasn't burglary...the door wasn't locked, so I'm innocent. This idiot actually believed that the police were persecuting him for no legal reason because the side door was unlocked! Many more similar questions were answered in the same manner. When God was handing out brains, this guy wasn't in line
Cheap justice bullet what maybe 1.25 court trial housing feeding cost 15 thousand? burn body state paid burial of old shoe box cost maybe 5 thousand or more problem fixed.
