A few things:
A car load of young folks, regardless of ethnicity, sitting in a walmart parking lot is suspicious.
Don't sit in a walmart parking lot if you are wanted for questioning in another crime.
Don't try and make a break for it when you are surrounded by cop cars and especially don't try and hit the cops.
Following of these simple guidelines would have prevented his.
BTW, walmart has very good resolution cameras in their parking lot which should have recorded this and there also is usually a lot of folks as witnesses in a walmart parking lot. The only problem you have is deciphering the reality from the BS and imaginations of the witnesses.
And don't have 3 kids if you are a criminal and can't support them
Don’t think that a vehicle is not a weapon.
...and that he struck two patrol cars before an officer opened fire.
Unarmed? With a ton and a half weapon on wheels. Please
He was armed with a 2 ton bullet.
this is all you need to know, including the media bias. Was this a married man being a father to his 3 kids? Or just the babbydaddy for one (or more) mothers? Did he uses his vehicle as a weapon? Would he have run over and killed the officers if given the chance to get away?
A normal 'father' of three would stop when asked and answer any questions, and then he'd be home with his 3 kids that night.
Last, but not least, DID HE steal the car in question?
Inquiring minds want to know.
This is simply another case of Suicide by Cop.
Why don’t blacks cooperate with police? Non-cooperation leads to conflict. Conflict leads to injury or death.
Doesn't seem unarmed to me!
Diante chose poorly.
Strange.
A known felon rams cop cars.
Dozens of bullets are far cheaper than trial and incarceration.
I approve mightily.
A white man, under the exact same circumstances, would usually elicit a response such as, “ what an idiot!” Why does skin color change that?
The headline is purposely misleading.
If you don’t read the rest it’s a open and shut case for those nice black family man with 3 kids.
Must have a really good job to raise 3 kids?
Regardless of race, how many of these incidents directly result from a specific history of leftist coddling of the perpetrators followed by an aggressive media campaign to assign blame to police rather than to the violent perps who end up getting shot by police?
I support the police in these matters. Very seldom are the police in the wrong, although it has happened.
Bump
The public schools should make Chris Rock’s video “How to Not Get Your A__ Kicked by the Police” required viewing.
It would be far more profitable for the yutes than Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth”, that’s for sure.
This is enough to make me go hm-m-m-m-m. Back in my travelling days I was on the wrong side of this one too many times. The police used that as a post facto excuse for having stopped me. Riding a motorcycle across the country in the 60s and 70s insured that one would be pulled and patted down and maybe taken to the station a few times. No charges were ever lodged against me but it was a reality of life that my ride would not be eventful in regards to small town and big city police. Otherwise I strongly suspect the police probably correct. In the old days running from the police, at least in Florida might well get you shot and there was no judge who would gainsay it. It was the Fleeing Felon rule.
The vehicle was his weapon.
