He was also clearly disobeying repeated commands to lay down on the ground.

And therefore, he deserved to be shot dead—unarmed and making NO threatening moves?

F--k that sh-t. Enough is enough. AND the cop had a taser that he could have used first.

We're living in a police state where cops are conditioned to place NO value on human life, even when there is no apparent threat. That's not protecting and serving...

So you figure anybody ought to be free to disregard what the
cops say? That's retarded. Obey the cops, don't get shot.

It's not that hard.

It’s a shame that when I was an irresponsible teen doing stupid shit I didn’t have to be afraid of the cops, now as a responsible clean cut adult they scare hell out of me.

Walking into a man who is holding a gun on you is a threatening move.

He was either insane, and therefore a threat, or out to commit suicide by cop, and therefore a threat.

I’m very sorry that he lost his family, but you just can’t go around acting like that.
