modern training of police goes along too well with BLM goals and propaganda. Shoot first to avoid all risk to yourself. Just shoot. The voice of the cop in the video sounds like he knows he fu..’ed up. Like the guy at the costco. You give an order and kill the guy for obeying the order. What’s a man gonna do when his ID is in his wallet and the cop orders him to get his ID? Either way he gets shot, for not obeying orders or for reaching for his wallet. He told the cop he was a licensed carrier and was armed. That is actually what got him killed. The cop probably had been propagandized that licensed gun owners are all crazed killers. He just has to watch TV to learn that.

Maybe people should create an organization and a cellphone app that when the cops are causing a situation, you can activate the app and transmit your location and 50 or 60 armed militia show up.

Always a story just in time to take Hillary/Hussien out of the news cycle. Always. Feel sorry for the victim, but the timing of this is incredible.....

Jumping to conclusions alert.

The video is obviously reversed/mirror image. He (victim) is behind the steering wheel, driver. Girlfriend is the passenger.

Everything the girlfriend says is suspect. Everyone is taking her word as gospel. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t.

WE CAN’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED FROM THAT VIDEO. It was all over before the video started.

While it looks/sounds bad for the cop, it still could be a justified shooting, adhering to police procedures.

IF it was me, and I had a concealed weapon, I would not be reaching for anything but the sky. IF the officer asked for ID, I would refuse to get it. Hands up, don’t shoot.

The order of events and the timing of them, turned out to be life and death decisions.

possible scenario:
officer: License and registration
victim: reaching for his wallet while saying “I have a gun”
officer: pulls weapon and fires several rounds as per police training.
Passenger: pulls out phone and begins recording, recounting HER version of events.

Tragic, but justified shooting

possible scenario 2:
officer: License and registration
victim: I have a concealed handgun and a permit to carry it.
victim: Reaches for license and registration
officer: pulls weapon, shoots victim several times.
Passenger: pulls out phone and begins recording, recounting HER version of events.

Murder by cop

possible scenario 3:
officer: License and registration
victim: I have a concealed handgun and a permit to carry it.
officer: pulls weapon, place your hands on the steering wheel and DO NOT MOVE
victim: yes sir. victim complies
other officers: remove passengers from vehicle.
other officers: remove victim, restrain him, handcuff him, locate and remove firearm, unload firearm (if loaded).
officer: check wallet for ID and carry permit. check for wants and warrants. If none found, remove restraints, return his handgun, everyone goes home safe.

If only this had happened instead

Why would the passenger be asked for license and registration?

I’m more and more beginning to lean to the side of those who say our legal system is out of control. We’ve got the damned Patriot Act that essentially puts us into a police state, we’ve got armed regulatory agencies for God knows what purposes, we’ve got laws that only apply to the “little people,” and we’ve got a militarized police force who have a proclivity for steroid use and weapons that belong in war zones (yeah lefties, the real ones).

Someone or something has to turn this country around. We have no business being in this place.
