He was still unarmed at the time he was shot 60 fucking times. So you're saying that if a guy has a gun and fires a shot, then throws the gun away, the police are still allowed to shoot him at any point after because at some point in the recent past he was armed and fired a shot? Great logic.

And furthermore, it's ok to shoot him in the back as he's running away and posing no threat in that moment.......why?

smfh. Yes. So were saying that if you have a gun in your possession and use it to fire at at police, the police will use whatever means necessary to put you down and neutralize the threat. And heres the most important part you cant seem to wrap your head around. Your possessioncannot be verifieduntil you are no longer a threat. Understand? No of course you dont. Lets try once more.

Follow basic logic for the love of God

1) subject has firearm
2) subject used firearm against police
3) subject fails to comply with orders, continues to run, and therefore continues to be a threat

Youll notice that subject doesnt have a gun on his person at the time of being shot doesnt enter the equation now. Why? Because, and let me really drive this home for you: theres absolutely no fucking way for the police to know that until the threat is neutralized. What they do know for absolute fact, is he had a gun. How obtuse you have to be to fail to understand the police cannot, in no way shape or form search someone from shooting distance.

How you cant possibly wrap your head around the fact that hes actively attempted to shoot at police and makes him the highest level of threat there is. and running AWAY from police means hes not complying with orders. It means when he gets shot in the back, he faced the consequences of his actions. And again, he HAD A GUN. You cannot make life risking assumptions that he didnt have it on his person when he fled.

You armchair critics sit here and make the most asinine assumptions and judgements about police work. But if you were in their shoes you would be a complete failure of an officer. Letting a subject get away because you wont shoot them in the back and worse than that, let that threat continue to present itself, giving potential they may kill innocent people, or even your own foolish ass, because of a complete failure of logic of how to respond to an active threat.
