A question for liberals: How many times should the police have to say “Drop the gun!” before it’s OK for them to shoot an armed suspect?

A question for liberals: How many times should the police have to say “Drop the gun!” before it’s OK for them to shoot an armed suspect?

This video from Phoenix shows police shooting and killing an armed suspect named Ekom Udofia.

Prior to shooting him, the police repeatedly shout “Drop the gun” over and over and over and over and over.

The suspect refuses to drop the gun.

Then the police shoot and kill him.

So, this is my question for liberals: How many times should the police have to say “Drop the gun!” before it’s OK for them to shoot an armed suspect?

Here’s the video. Skip to 2:28

Liberals will just say that the cop should just turn his own gun on himself and pull the trigger.

Don’t ask liberals to think. They are too incapable, too drugged, or too brainwashed to even be worthy of the excersize.

The leftists would likely quote the Bible verse saying “seventy times seven”.

I’m impatient, though. Once would be enough, IMHO.

The cops shouldn’t have to tell you. You’re pointing a gun you die. Next question?

Every student as well as every applicant for a driver's license needs to be forced to sign statements that 1. They're aware of their Miranda rights, and 2. If they point a firearm at Law Enforcement they may get shot.

Because if they can't grasp those concepts, they're too dumb to be in a classroom and too dumb to operate a motor vehicle.

After watching so many crime dramas on TV, I have concluded that police forces need to hire actors and script writers to negotiate with armed perps.

It is amazing how these actors and script writers can negotiate in such a manner — putting their own weapon down — that the perp always ends up putting his/her weapon down.

I believe that the liberal rule is “free first shot”.

It does not matter if a “suspect” is armed, it matters if they are a threat. Being armed is not a justification for lethal force. If the “suspect” is armed but not putting lives in danger the police don’t get to shoot, period. This is a “suspect” only and the police are not allowed to execute people. Good grief people! It’s no wonder we are losing our republic to communists.

I want to add. The title should be a question for Conservatives as it’s clear most do not know.

THANK YOU! I was stopped for speeding, told to get out of the car, and was staring down the barrel of a pistol because the officer in question saw I had a knife, in scabbard, on my belt. According to some folks, apparently I deserved a double-tap!
