What could possibly justify shooting an unarmed, fleeing suspect?
damnit you don’t know that he was “fleeing” at the moment he was shot. All we are told is it happened behind a house. He might have been cornered, he might have tried to ambush the officer, he might have been trying to get the officer’s gun.
You want to assume the worst of the police without all the facts. We know we have a dead perp who was a vicious violent criminal. We don’t yet know all the details of what happened behind that house.
and no, I don’t trust “Chief Moose” the politically correct Affirmative Action hire to do an honest job here. The political pressures on the CHicago PD (and so many other depts) are tremendous now. Far too easy to hang some officers.....
You seem to make what seems IMHO an unwarranted assumption. You state that having fled the car the perp was unarmed. At what point does a fleeing perp who was armed become unarmed? How are the police supposed to know this?
By your logic, if the recent Dallas cop killer had laid down his weapons and was fleeing, the cops couldn’t shoot him.
I remember when "Stop or I will shoot" actually meant something, now it is just a prompt to run.
