    The same type think hunters should take more unsure shots at game to be more "sporting" they dont understand what you pull a trigger for.

    Not to mention funerals with halls filled to overflowing with people who had never even heard of the man, without a mention of covid related restrictions, while WWII veterans who pass aren't even allowed to have one indoors, and their families and real friends are forced to keep a "safe distance" from each other.

    It has likely always been this way, body cams and cell phones are just highlighting it

    I have no desire to be a cop — but people that we place in those positions should be held to the highest standards of the law, not the lowest.

    I am not anti-police, most of them are not paid nearly near enough and are undertrained, that doesn’t mean I don’t think bad cops should be identified and removed from serving nation wide. And their crimes should not go ignored or be swept under the rug. And officers that protect them should suffer the same fate.

    Cops today should aim for the groin, shoot his weenie off and he'll wish you killed him.

    It seems like more information needs to come out before any rational conclusions can be made. Namely I would want to know if he was making any attempts to pick the weapon back up

    I don’t believe officers should try to “sharpshoot” extremities. If they pull their weapon it should be only to take out the threat.

    A good percentage of the videos I have seen have shown officers shoot first, ask questions later and face zero consequences. Pulling a gun should be the last thing an officer does, not the last — I wouldn’t expect you to understand this however.

    Your attitude will cause more deaths because when suspects believe they are likely to be killed by police they may start being armed and shoot police first if they have nothing to lose.

    It is the police that have more to lose from a lethal force policy that applies even to people resisting or fleeing or doing something the police don't like while black.

    Trump said that blacks get shot when police choke like a golfer facing a putt.

    The cops who shot this victim choked 20 times consecutively including a stop to reload.

    The victim was shot 20 times. That was willful murder.

    Twice as many white men are killed by police as black men, though the percent of white criminals in the white population is significantly lower than the percent of black criminals in the black population.

    Really?? Haven't seen cops shooting any white guys in the back lately...or anywhere else.
    Must be another left wing "Deep State" coverup going on.
    Even tRUMP is suggesting these cops might be a bit off on their judgement.

    I watched a video of one just yesterday, lol. White guy locked himself in the back room of his apartment and started shooting at the police.

    I'm sorry - that made no sense. Let's review your initial claim...

    I just watched a video yesterday proving that claim incorrect.

    Now you're just moving the goalposts.

    Where are you getting this nonsense?
    If you want to kill people and enjoy seeing them getting gunned down in the streets...join the friggin military!

    I wouldn't bet my freedom on it, especially if they are unarmed. BTW, love your state and plan to move there in the next few years.

    Here we go with the goalposts again.
    The white guy case you're using to support your argument isn't even in ballpark.

    That, also, makes no sense. What, exactly, are you trying to argue? Be specific. Stop moving the goalposts.

    Easy....a white guy shooting a gun at police doesn't leave them much choice but to shoot back.
    A Black guy with his back to police and no gun.........
    What part of that comparison are you having so much difficulty with?

    Ummm, yeah. You haven't noticed the dead-by-cop white guys in the media. There's a reason for that.
