Your pic really doesn’t apply here.
The nut job was ordered to drop the bat. He didn’t comply.
He then was tazed. Still didn’t comply.
If you don’t think a bat is a deadly weapon, then step right up and take a hit from one.
In the meantime, the cops shot the bastard dead. As they should have.
Good post..... Responsibiity2nd!!!!.
Actually, Great post!
But video of the incident appears to show police shooting the man in the back as he walks away from them, after he drops the bat.
Stupid choice. Stupid b@$t@rd. appropriate outcome.

100% agree. I know there are limp-wrist Freepers who will object as usual. How many more times will the cops give you warnings after verbal and tazer shots? 10 ? I can see if they shot the puke without warning but the idiot was given warnings.
So the issue here is the man was ordered to drop a baseball bat and he did not comply. Non compliance of an order from a police officer is the justification for the use of deadly force.
Lets say hypothetically as the man turned to walk away instead of shooting and killing him an officer was able to come from behind him and take him to the ground and effect an arrest. After the man was indicted and charged would the death penalty be appropriate in this exact scenario? Would you be ok with this man receiving the death sentence and subsequently executed? If not then you must ask how was deadly force justified?
