“It’s a shame some punk put innocent lives in danger. “

You know what! It’s criminal that someone is dead who wasn’t likely responsible for harming anyone. Betcha it was a White cop who shot and killed this Black man. There needs to be better training about when you can use deadly force. Unless the man who was killed, presented an obvious threat to the cop or bystanders, this is just another case of “murder by cop!” Life, when the cops are involved, has gotten way, way too cheap. So we have the 2A for our protection. But today, you put yourself at extraordinary risk if you carry a gun, because too many times your are misjudged as a perpetrator rather than a protector, and when that happens and there’s a cop nearby, you’re dead meat!

Then don’t carry a gun-—problem solved.

Need to have some questions answered before you jump that shark - the dead guy was "running from the scene while brandishing a gun" according to the story....

Wait until you have enough facts before doing the "saut de requin"

Murder by cop? Oh please. The cops have to make split second decisions. The deceased was brandishing a handgun in a mall where shots were fired. Why did he have the gun? Why was it out? Why was he accompanying the killer?

18 year old carrying a gun in a mall? I thought there were laws against this!

I find that it's better to wait until the smoke clears and all the facts are in instead of making unsupported allegations and jumping to conclusions.

As of now they are saying he may have been involved in the altercation and was fleeing, gun in hand.
