Poll of the Day » This 21 y/o NON-BINARY LGBT Student was KILLED by Police causing OUTRAGE!!!
Do you think if the person is holding a knife, cops should use tasers rather than their guns?


The shocking video of a 21 y/o Non-Binary LGBT Pride Leader MURDERED by a cop has outraged the parents!!

21 y/o Scout Schultz, a Georgia Tech Student was shot dead by campus police late Saturday after he approached the police holding what appears to be a knife and the parents don't understand they didn't use the taser!!

They have now hired L Chris Stewart to represent them ahead of the investigation where the video shows campus cops telling Scout to drop the weapon with several warnings as the tense footage shows Scout getting closer and closer shouting "Shoot Me!".

One of the cops said "Nobody wants to hurt you" before shots ring out and Scout falls to the ground screaming in pain..

A press meeting will be held to see if the officers had training to dealing with mentally ill students as it's unclear what illness Scout had.

His father said his child preferred to be referred to as "they" and "them" rather than gendered pronounds and had been holding a "tiny knife".

The Georgia Tech Campus Police got a 911 call of a person holding a knife and a gun on Saturday night..

Scouts motheer, Lynn said they were a "nonconformist, and very very bright who had a lot of empathy for other people"

Scout was also president of the school's Pride Alliance, an organization for LGBTQ Students and Allies. They released a statement that said "We love you scout and we will continue to push for change"

Scout was studying engineering and had plans to go to grad school with a career in biomedical devices. They were born male but non-binary means they don't identify as male or female.

Do you think police should use tasers if someone is only holding a Knife?

Scout - Deceased

Ehh, it's hard to feel sympathy when someone gets shot dead for charging towards police with a knife. This was probably a case of suicide by popo, the kid was clearly fighting mental illness. A taser would have been better, but we literally have no idea how the scene went down and it's entirely reasonable that the police weren't able to ensure their own safety had a taser been attempted.

why do cops shout that they dont want to hurt someone and then shoot them? I've seen other cases like this. for the cop says they aren't going to shoot them and then they do

Hurting someone and not wanting to hurt them are not the same thing.
Goddam duckbear, as much outrage as you report happening, you should be undergoing nuclear fission by now.

They should use their tasers, but up to a point. When someone is coming at them with a knife, they know what could happen so if they're too close to switch to taser safely then too bad, pew pew time.
The problem here is that we've all been so frustrated with the unnecessary or straight up illegal police shootings so there's no way we can react to a question of when a cop should use their gun without all of that background noise affecting the discussion.

Well no wonder he was suicidal when this stupid Tumblr mentality has kids so screwed up they don't even understand how to refer to themselves.

Because they don't, but if someone won't comply, they have to take innocent lives (theirs included) into account over the person who is holding the weapon. Suicide by cop is usually preferred with teens and young adults because it's their last-ditch effort for help, but if they don't comply and the officers believe they intend to harm themselves or other people, they use lethal force.

That being said, if there were multiple officers present, one of them should have used a taser unless he charged them. Still, it's easy throwing out opinions when you're not face to face with a life and death situation as many cops experience.

Tasers don't always work and even if they did, no.

>Murdered
>Charged police with a knife while shouting "Shoot me"

Even overlooking that it sounds like suicide by cop, it's still self-defense while in the course of carrying out their duties. As for the gun over the taser, keep in mind that tasers can be blocked by thick clothing. The last thing you want when somebody is charging you with a deadly weapon is for your defense to fail.

So bright it can't figure out what it was by looking in its pants and so empathetic it forced people who wanted to protect the people to kill somebody?

/topic in the first reply. Well done. There's really nothing more that can be reasonably said here.

Most would ask you to use "they," but it's largely decided on an individual basis. Your best bet would be to ask the person you're talking to what they prefer, if you aren't sure.

Is this going to be one of those times when you pretend not to have a plan until the last moment? And then turn out to really not have one?
Can we get a picture of the knife? If we're talking about a Swiss Army knife, the gun is over the top. If homebody pulled out a Crocodile Dundee-sized buck knife, the shots may have been warranted.

You don't need much to slash a throat, as long as it has enough real estate to have an edge it most likely can be fatal.

Suicidal depression usually is treated, but the mental health infrastructure isn't there to catch every possible case. It is indeed something the US (among many other countries) needs to work on.

Non-binary actually means numbers other than 0s and 1s.

Nah. It means anything with more or less than two possible values. Binary includes the binary numerical system, but is not defined by it.

I want you to go to a range and try to repeatedly shoot a paper target in the arm or leg. Now, imagine that target running around. Good luck.

Maybe you should fire a gun before posting about guns.

if you watch the video, they tell him to drop the knife about 50 times, ok?

it's terrible he died at such a young age, but refusing to comply with the police = bad things, ok?

It was an unopened Swiss Army knife.

It's kind of telling that many of the people with these abnormal identities also seem totally off balance. It's almost like something else is the problem... Maybe arguably crazy people need help instead of reassurance?!

Just watched the video. It was a female cop who shot him so its ok right?

Seriously though, they gave him a good few minutes of yelling at him to drop the knife and the kid kept yelling at them "shoot me!" and kept advancing forward. At one point he stops for a minute, while they keep telling him to drop the knife, and then just starts walking towards the female cop and when he got within like 10-15 feet she shot him.

Actually I think he was referring to the perpetuation of the non-binary/76 gender junk.
