| Topic | Protesting in Pittsburgh over Black Teen shot by Cop |
| Forceful_Dragon 06/24/18 7:53:27 PM #41: | HotDogButts posted... The shooting wasn't necessary, but it's pretty hard to get up in arms about a drive-by suspect, in a car with bullet holes in it, running from the cops, who ditched a gun on the floor of the car, had an empty clip on him and gun residue on his hands, getting wrongfully shot by the cops. Im not necessarily disagreeing with the spirit of this post. Ive seen things like classmates saying "thats not the kind of guy he was" even though that was literally the kind of guy he was. He was a presumably willing participant in a drive by shooting. If yhe facts are accurate then he had residue on his hands proving he fired a gun in the shooting. I won't be losing any sleep over him personally. BUT. But if the law states that there needs to be a clear threat to justify lethal force against a fleeing suspect? Well based on what we currently know im not sure that's been established. Naturally, emerging evidence could push this case in either direction still. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
