A man running from cops was gunned down by police after bailing from a car ... and the officer-involved shooting was captured on the dude's live stream.
The wild scene unfolded Wednesday afternoon in Indianapolis ... and the video picks up with the man behind the wheel of a car, calling out the street he was on ... and pleading for someone to "come get my stupid ass." All of this as he live streamed from a phone.

A feral dog? Or should I waste my time looking?
They came out and protested en masse in the city which is still under lockdown.
Funny the press didn’t seem to complain about that, wonder about them spreading the China flu or how they were flaunting safety.
Just the outrage issue.
It’s gonna tear Indiana apart, I think you better watch or else November will be a 1968 or 1972
15 mins of fame,,,,
There is no mention of whether or not the man was armed, or if police believed he was armed. That, of course, makes all the difference in the world.
A fleeing felon statute is in order. Running from the cops is considered a felony, and a fleeing felon may be shot. You’d never get it through most legislatures, though. They love their criminals too well.
Was everyone wearing anti-virus masks?
I know you are not supposed to run from police, or endanger innocent people’s lives by causing a chase, but deadly force is not a method of detainment.
The story this morning was he exited the car with a rifle and started shooting. I guess we’ll see.
The ONLY time that you read that it was a black man is when they are the potential victim.
“come get my stupid ass.”
Ding! Wish granted.
He was running, live-streaming on his phone. A phone in your hand could easily be mistaken for a gun. EASILY. Any death is tragic but lets find facts before condemning LEO for bad decisions.
The headline of the article is misleading.
BLACK MAN RUNNING FROM COPS IN INDIANAPOLIS LIVE STREAMS HIS DEATH
I counted 14 shots. Didn’t know a pistol could hold that much .
Because if you or I thought a fleeing man was armed we’d be perfectly justified in emptying the magazine in his back.
I wonder if Orwell we more prescient that we can imagine in selecting the farm animals in charge...
Now you know and some hold more than that.
Happened to a guy in L.A. The dumbass actually turned to take a picture of the LEOs chasing him.
Some protests are more equal than others.
