Again, officers can bring down a mass shooter and not hurt him but they can't de-escalate a situation with an unarmed black man without killing him?

It's not normal. Shooting a fleeing suspect in the back is against the rules. It's a fireable offense, and was the specific justification for taking action against this officer. I mean feel free to look it up...

He escaped from a Cuff Arrest
took a taser gun from one officer Fired it hitting
one officer on the arm.



That Police man was running and fired his gun
that sadly killed him.


He was so drunk
he was asleep in the line of cars at that Wendys

Dezzy are you saying he was not a Drunk Driver?

Again, the police can safely bring down a white mass murderer armed with an AR-15 but you're going to try to justify two armed cops executing an unarmed black man for running away when TS has said multiple times that shooting a running man is against the law?

You think a black man deserves to die for running away and being drunk but you keep ignoring my point that white mass shooters have been taken in alive?

Why on earth didn’t he just shoot him in the leg just to slow him down ?

However, they knew for a fact that he only had a taser, so why did they not use... Tasers? Why use a firearm that's far more likely to cause a fatal injury?

Again it's one of those situations where I can't help but think, if it had happened in the UK this person would be alive because shooting him wouldn't have been an option. They would have found another way to apprehend him and get the weapon back. Which means, its obviously possible to police without relying on lethal force... And it feels like in places where they have the option, it's often used out of simple habit, laziness or fear.

This.

Situations like this make it clear that guns are the easy resort for cops rather than the last one.

What’s going on with Sky and their headlines?
They have a moving banner saying a Black guy who had fallen asleep in his car was shot and killed by police .. yet I’ve read elsewhere that he was drunk , resisted arrest , fought two cops off and managed to get hold of one of their tasers , pointed it at the cop who then reacted by shooting him dead .

It’s an awful story and at worst I’d have expected the cop to shoot to immobilise the guy rather than killing ... but the Sky headline seems misleading IF what I read about the incident was correct

They had back up on the way and had his details, they could have let him go without killing him

I get that he needed to be stopped, a taser can be deadly and he was obviously not fit to drive.

However, when he was fleeing, why did the cop not use the other taser? Why shoot the suspect 3 times in the back instead of maybe once in the leg or shoulder?

Sadly "while running" it's harder to get such a required
shot out.

Being so drunk that you fall asleep while waiting to get food in a drive thru means he could of wiped someone out ont the way home

He made some stupid choices that where a factor with him getting shot.

You can’t play top trumps, they are not supremacists but white scum.

How many people got injured during that event?

How do you know they were "white supremacists", I assume you're talking about the anti-lockdown mob?

They were armed to the teeth, if they actually wanted to storm the building, they could have.

None At All.

[Cherie]

Very sad situation, its unclear why the situation changed so quickly as it was so composed, agree with others if the policeman didn't have a gun, there would be no death, not sure how they can address that in the USA given the public can bear arms though

None were injured but that's the point; the authorities simply let them carry on protesting, fully armed, without intervening. No one was hurt because no one even tried to interfere with them.

They did storm the building. They were inside, lining the corridors and stairs. They didn't have to enter by force, because no one tried to stop them.

Being fair; there is no evidence that these people were white supremacists. They were just white. Their issue was with lockdown.

However the important point with the whole thing is: What do you think would have happened if 50 heavily armed black men had turned up at that same government building demanding to get inside. If you think it would be anything other than absolute carnage, you're not paying attention.

So why shoot 3 times?
