I disagree. I think it quite likely that the cop had encountered this kid just before and saw he was doped up. When the kid still refused to obey orders and got within 12' of his partner with a knife, I think the cop was entirely justified in killing the fucking thug.As I've said....I'm as pro cop as anyone here. Did the job 8 years. There IS A LINE that cops cannot cross. The public does in fact give quite a bit of leeway for cops under stress....like Darren Wilson.
This officer crossed that line. He threw himself under this bus. No way around it.
Again, what happened before this does NOT matter. Cops are not judge, jury and executioner in the real world and don't get to shoot some kid walking down the street who at that moment was not threatening another human being. The eyewitnesses, which include 7 other police officers, have fully corroborated what is on the dash cam. You can now go fuck yourself.
He was walking away from the cop, dumbass. WATCH THE FUCKING VIDEO. If you have, get your fucking eyes checked.Again, what happened before this does NOT matter.

An armed thug with a knife who gets within 12' of a cop is a threat, idiot.

He was not walking away from the cops. He was walking at a perpendicular direction to the cops, bringing them closer, and it isnt like he cant suddenly change direction anyway, dumbass.He was walking away from the cop, dumbass.

So because he might change direction then the cop can shoot him 14 times while he is laying on the ground incapacitated? Got it.He was not walking away from the cops.

Yes, dumbass, the cop can. When the cop is telling the perp to lay down or put his hands behind his back and does not do it, and presents a threat to the cop the cop can and should shoot the little bastard DEAD.So because he might change direction then the cop can shoot him 14 times while he is laying on the ground incapacitated?

Now I know you're just an asshole. Not listening to a cop and walking down the street does not equal a threat.Yes, dumbass, the cop can.

No apology necessary for me. I am not rooting for anyone.
Two important factors...
1) Again - to convict someone of murder you MUST show vicious intent. It can be premeditated, which of course this isn't, or chose to kill on the spot...either way you MUST show a willful intent to kill. Having said that, an officer on duty has special legal considerations. For murder the homicide MUST be without provocation. Clearly as the video shows - there was provocation. In that half second the teenager turned quickly, started to advance towards the officers, and raised his hand with an object, at the officers.
2) WHILE on the ground...you can see he lifted the object towards the officers again.
That officer can claim he believed it to be a weapon still, or was not sure what it was.
If charged with murder, he will walk. The defense will easily show provocation. And the jurors will be forced to find not guilty.
It has happened again and again.
Charge him with voluntary manslaughter. And that might stick. Maybe.
Confirmed tonight, sixteen shots and the kid was still alive.I got a kick out of the john wayne walk the kid was using. His strut said fk you all I'm king, watch my ass walk over here. I do believe the kid was still moving on shot nine. People do not know the impact of pcp on a human being. With that in evidence and the knife, it will be very hard for them to get first degree murder. manslaughter most likely, but not first degree. There is enough history of human behavior while on pcp.He was a threat. Why do you think so many cops were dispatched to the scene, you stupid motherfucker? The video only captures a moment in all of this.Watch the fucking video, you fucking dumbass knuckle dragger. The kid was never a threat to the cops which is why the 7 other cops that were there didn't fire a shot.The officer already claimed it was a knife so he can't say that he thought it might have been gun at this point. Someone laying on the ground with a knife with multiple bullet holes in them is not a threat.
Bullshit. You obviously do not know what the hell you are talking about, you lying shit-bag.
A handgun closes the distance. Matters not where he was walking. His hand was in his pocket. Watch the fuckin' video. There is reason to believe his hand was on a gun in his pocket.He was walking away from the cop, dumbass. WATCH THE FUCKING VIDEO.

ISIS... or Palestinian. Israel security forces would have put a bullet in his head immediately.Since he was brandishing a knife, I would assume he was ISIS. Taking him down is justified. No jury will convict.
The kid committed suicide, and his family hit the lottery ($5 mil. Settlement).

In other words, you are quite comfortable destroy the lives of that cop and his family based upon a 10 second segment of a video, without audio, despite everything that happened before or after? Further, you are ok with passing judgment right here and now based upon what your puny little brain is able to discern from this 10 second selection from the dash cam video WITHOUT hearing from eyewitnesses and learning more about everything that went down?

I don't think you've seen all of the chase ahead of the shooting and he did go at one cop car twirling his knife. Me don't think you all have enough facts.
Prove that statementA handgun closes the distance. Matters not where he was walking. His hand was in his pocket. Watch the fuckin' video. There is reason to believe his hand was on a gun in his pocket.
I've watched the video. There was no real justification for what this cop did.
I do find it amusing that the same right wing gun nuts who stock up like the Zombies are coming because they are so afraid of the government are soooo keen to excuse a blatant example of government abuse of force... when it involves a black person.
