Watch this video and then tell me if you still believe that. This cop perceived a threat, but waited until a gun was pulled to do anything. Just like in the OP, this man disobeys the orders of the cop to stop and just casually keeps walking. It didnt end well for the cop. This is what happens when you let suspects disobey orders.Not yet and we know that you prefer the requirement to be the criminal draws and fires first before the police can respondSo you think just because some cops in the past did wrong things it justifies attacking other innocent cops today? You are the epitome of an idiot.Cops for years got away with breaking the law. Turn about is fair play.
Absolutely not. That's why it's so important to weed out the cops who can't do the job without killing unarmed people.
You keep ignoring it, but it's a flash second to grab a gun and shoot a cop dead. You keep ignoring that.
Nope. Already answered you. The cops should have never let him open the door to his car. They fucked up. Now their facing attempted murder charges. Which is really, kind of unfair. Clearly their training didn't prepare them for this.
Why shouldn't they have allowed him to open his door?
Kaz is making excuses for shooting him seven times, in the back, at point blank range, in front of his children. He claims the cops thought he was reaching for a gun.
There's nothing at all wrong with him opening his door, unless he was going for a gun. If that's what the cops were worried bout, they should have never let him open the door. Kaz is just dancing. Anything to defend the home team.
When you say things like "in front of his children" you show that you're appealing to emotion, not logic.
Why did he defy cops in front of his children? What a terrible example that was
Again, why was he not allowed to get in his car and leave?
Because the police discovered that there was a warrant for his arrest...
When? How? He had no obligation to tell them anything. He had committed no crime.
Yes, he did. There was an open warrant out for his arrest which had absolutely nothing to do with this incident...
He had committed no crime in breaking up a fight. He is free to leave.
That's what the cops had to sort out. Being in the middle of a fight is clearly probable cause
Breaking up a fight is not illegal. The police are not providing any sort of alternative situation. They do when it tends to exonerate them. They don't when it doesn't.
And if the cops did something wrong, then he should follow up later. Not ignore them and put them in a life threatening situation by going into his car where they can't see what's going on
None of the cops lives were threatened.Or just a simple rule of engagement that lethal force only be used as a last resort when an actual threat is present and not a perceived or imagined threat. The three officers did nothing to physically restrain or prevent what happened. The had no control of the scene. But maybe that was by design. Innocence by incompetence.Not yet and we know that you prefer the requirement to be the criminal draws and fires first before the police can respond
When one side of the equation has excuses made for them, it's only natural for the other side to do the same. The solution is easy but for some reason far too many want to ignore the easy solution. Everyone gets held accountable when they do wrong.
My position is when some aren't held accountable, no one should.
So stop voting for the Democrats who protect police unions that prevent cops from being held accountable, brainiac
I do not live in an area with a police union. I'm all for ending the unions and most importantly I'm NOT defending the politicians in these area's.
I have argued that Kamala Harris was an awful pick because she is the very person people are protesting over. I condemned the mayor of Chicago for singling out only her neighborhood.
Sadly for so many this is all about politics. I find that incredibly sad.
And yet you're being completely political about it advocating that the guy should have been able to kill the cop to prove some sort of nebulous race point.
Anyone who climbs in a car when a cop is telling them to freeze is probably going to get shot. Race is completely and utterly irrelevant in that. But you keep saying the guy should have been able to grab a gun and the cop could only respond after he is dead
