I mean, without a link I'll never know if he was unarmed and unjustly killed, or unarmed but had also just killed 16 people with his bare hands beforehand.

He was walking away from the police and heading for his car. When he opened the car door they shot him.

He shouldnt have been walking away from the cops BUT... that shouldnt have been a death sentence either.

There were many other cops there, and it seemed like they just let one cop do all the work. Was weird. They seemed lazy. And then they opened fire on him. And yes, it was in his back.

This isnt good.

The video of the shooting is everywhere right now.

You probably can't even link to the story cause technically murder is moddable but not sure

Anyway thoughts and prayers to all the innocent walls that will be graffitied in the ensuing terrorist attacks

Wonder if cops will get in trouble this time. They won't get to benefit from the key witness of their actions being dead, which they generally do after an unjustified shooting.

Only reason for a cop to be justified in shooting someone is if that person is actively trying to hurt someone else.

In other words, this is murder, clear as day.

I was talking about this with my friend earlier, it's not only disgusting at a moral level, its also just insane that cops are still murdering people when they have the national spotlight on them for murdering people. Like how are they still throwing fuel on the flames burning them alive? It's counterproductive to their own goals

the punishment for disobeying a police officer is not death

lethal force is only justifiable if the person is in danger of threatening another life. As has already been stated there were many other methods they could have used to stop the man and get him in custody that didnt involve firing multiple rounds into his back at point blank range.

and we dont even know anything about the guy

they did this same shit with the man that got killed in Georgia by those two guys that werent even cops. They all insisted there was video of the guy robbing a construction site which turned out to be a total lie.

All right wingers do is muddy the waters and when the facts eventually come to light they dont even care because theyve moved on to their next BS distraction.

We really have to do something about them.

There is a possibility that he had a gun in the car that he might have been reaching for but I sincerely doubt that's the case much less that the cops would know about it.

Why cops gotta be like this

Even in that case, you don't open fire when there are three children there. That's exactly what teasers are for.

They tasered him but he still resisted and then did not comply with a lawful order to surrender. He then went to the car and looked like he was going to get a gun from the glove compartment.

I for one would not have wanted to be in the police's shoes.

that many police and they couldnt have tried one of the many takedown techniques theyre trained to do in a situation like this? They really needed to unload a full clip into the guy in front of his kids?

It's not like the movies or tv. Your adrenalin is going crazy and you have a split second to make a decision. It's always easier to judge when you're not in the line of fire.

I've seen the same situation before and the officer got shot. It can go either way.

He shouldn't have resisted arrest and defied a lawful order and he wouldn't be in that situation.

If the cops didn't shoot him in the back they wouldn't be in this situation though.

How about he gets charged with resisting arrest and the cops get charged with attempted murder?

its almost like there are laws that pertain to resisting arrest and the matter is handled in a court of law

cops arent enforcers, theyre meant to serve and protect the community. Stop blindly defending them just because you have disdain for anyone that makes a mistake and wrongfully think that their life is forfeit

Sure. I'm just saying the possibility exists but its a very narrow possibility given the circumstances. I have a magnet under my dash for when I'm carrying and I take it out of my holster. But I only carry when I go to critter territory.

I sincerely doubt they had any reason to believe he was a threat given the information at hand.

The only reasonable thing I could see from the cop perspective is that maybe he panicked and thought if he didnt stop the guy from getting into the car right that second then the kids in the vehicle might be harmed

but even considering that possibility they really could have just taken the guy down using normal nonlethal police training. They were right there on him
