Again I'm tempted to say "jaywalking" but don't want to get modded

But does it really matter? Shooting at an unarmed person 90 fucking times is a bit overkill, don't you think? What he actually did is irrelevant at this point.

Cops tried to pull him over for a traffic stop so he began to flee and shot at cops while driving

Why would you want to make a joke about someone being shot to death? Like, why would that even be a temptation?

Also i just looked it up. Apparently he was stopped in a routine traffic stop, and he started a chase and was shooting out of the car. When he fled he left the gun in the car and let the car roll on.

Those 30 rounds might have harmed or killed other people, that is no small number of shots that did not connect.

Why they felt the need to fire 90 rounds is crazy.

The police also stated they failed to subdue after engaging with tasers once Mr. Walker exited the vehicle, do you engage with tasers first after a person shoots at you?

It's like a video game to these people where they can just unload their entire clip without consequence.

If some bystander had of been shot, oh well, it's Jayland's fault, not theirs.

Our policy changed in 2020 to reflect that you should utilize a less lethal first if you can, if you have another officer with a lethal option with you. Whether this department, in a different city, county, state does? I dont know

Sounds like they were trying to take him alive at first. Isnt that what you would want them to do?

They shot a guy running away 60 times. Doesn't sound like they've changed at all.

He had a gun in the car with him and he fired it at least once before he got out. He ditched the gun when he left the car and ran but the cops didn't know that he no longer had it with him. Keep in mind the police are allowed to shoot a suspect if they have a reasonable fear for their life.

Chasing after someone and unloading entire clips into their back isn't something that someone who has a "reasonable fear for their life" does.

Found a video that has the vehicle pursuit leading up to the on foot chase, and then the shooting.

According to them, a shot rang out during the vehicle chase, a gun was found in the car, tasers failed to stop him during the foot chase, and he survived the initial shots, but later succumbed to injuries.

This is why I hate it when someone makes a thread on CE about live car chases and tags a bunch of people in it like it's a grand spectacle. Shit like this potentially ends up happening in the end and yet people were previously hyping over it like it was for their own entertainment

What strikes me as odd is, you can see the gun doesn't have the magazine loaded, there's a ring, and a spent casing all clumped together in the driver's seat. So did the guy drop the mag out before he bailed out of the car?

Defunded is fine, IMO. Like bullets cost money and they used way more than needed, so taking the cost out of their checks would be reasonable to avoid wasting taxpayer money.

Though I guess they said all cops and not all cops involved. Which is a rather different thing. Cops are needed, but there should be strict rules on when they can choose to use their power.

They have families to feed, you know. And cops aren't exactly paid that much. But sure, let's take money out of their paychecks........
