Also I dont get how anyone can think this was justified.
I watched the video and saw a clearly drunk guy crying asking not to be shot, a cop literally saying if you fall, you better hit face first or youre going to die and then this drunk guy got scared and died.
Dead because he didnt perfectly follow instructions while drunk. Thats it.
Fucking awful.
You could tell the guy was drunk?
How could you not? Watch his legs when the officer tells him to cross them, he is clearly confused as it takes him multiple tries. At one point he fucks up and immediately puts boths his hands behind his back exactly as you would if you're being arrested (in fact, the Police Departments official report on the incident specifically states this).

This post again misses what I said. At this point it is almost like purposely playing dense. I have already hand held the intent. I am glad you guys discussed a non-political topic some in your politics topic. Kudos. However, that has nothing again to do with what I said.
This is an inherently political topic, but nice try.

As I said in the other topic, police need to be held accountable. This was at the very least manslaughter. The officer should be in jail, and have to pay the family a substantial amount of money. This was 100% avoidable.
Why is the officer being held accountable for doing as he was probably trained to do but not the victim being held accountable in this situation?
Maybe the dumbest post you've ever made.
An innocent man is dead, and you're asking why he isn't being held accountable and the cop who literally got not guilty is? The fuck?
There were 6 cops on the scene.
Only 1 of them shot the guy.
Tell me he was doing exactly what he was trained to do.
I think you would be a very poor judgment of who is drunk or not. Confusion has zero to do with being drunk. You only are saying that because of outside factors.
It is not a political topic. Not that it matters whether it is or not. Has zero point towards the initial comment.
