2. It's never okay to shoot an illegally armed perp just because he/she is resisting arrest and has been tazed already to no effect. Or not.

I thought Harris ‘lunged at them’ and that’s why they tackled him to the ground without warning.
Of course, the video shows no such thing but it must be true since that’s what was said in the initial reports and cops don’t lie, right?
Did this guy really hang out on a sidewalk selling CDs or was that a ruse to conceal an unsavory purpose?
?
But...but...he never would have been in that position if they hadn’t stopped him in the first place - free pass to all Blacks because it will keep them from becoming a threat to the cops .....
Trying to pleasetheBLM folks is irrational. Any Negrokilled in a police struggle, even if he dies with his own gun blazing, is an occasion for riots and murder while if the same perp manages to kill a cop or two it is a cause for celebration and, of course, riots. The new PC position seems to be that is a Negro’s cultural right to kill policemen and white people.
Given that tazing was tried, there should seem to be a lot less of an issue here than some other more questionable kills. Was this truly the worst allegation of effing up that could be come up with?
I could come up with a worse one from some time back that didn’t end up with a kill but did end up with the injury of a child when a dog was intended to be shot but the fine gentleman missed. And the response from the PD was to be “glad she was healing” but chilled from anything more. In older days wouldn’t we see something like the wives of the officers offering help to that family?
Oh but... she was white. White lives and bodies matter less I guess.
From Saint Skittles to the Gentle Giant and these latest two in LA and MN, the one thing they have in common was that the deceased all did something to make an armed man think they were trying to kill him.
If you make an armed man think you are trying to kill him,
expect to get shot.
Whatever color you are.
The media deliberately and intentionally chose to hide this from the public.
In a sane world, we’d never even know who AS was.
It’s interesting to watch this society crumble from within during these last days.
No way. Alton Sterling hated guns. He would never have been anywhere near a gun. </sarc>
FWIW I read elsewhere that Sterling was arrested for exactly the same thing back in 2011, sentenced to 5 years in prison, and got out in 2013.
It’s Deja Vu All Over Again
And to think, if not for Democrats coaching people like Sterling to believe he was above the law and need not comply with directions from law enforcement - he’d likely be alive today.
