I know this is a bad name around here but this shows that the videos posted on this shooting were deliberately held back by SJW who responded to the scene via police scanner looking exactly for this kind of thing.

Fair and objective are impossibilities for these people.

Just watched the video yet again. Neither one of the guy's arms were mobile.

The cop pulls out his pistol, then shoots the guy in the chest at point blank range.

Additionally, the initial hand-to-hand grappling is what undoubtedly escalated the situation. Maybe it would have been better to be a little more patient. After all, in close quarters like that, there's a greater opportunity for the person to grab the officer's gun as well.

I just don't see the propriety of what happened. It seems like a situation was engineered which virtually guaranteed a tragedy.

This just feeds into the narrative that cops are selective in the procedures they follow when making an arrest. I'm a white person, and I don't see the need to kill that man at that moment, and, additionally, it seems as if the situations was unnecessarily escalated.

Mark my words. Before long, there will be a CCW license holder who is killed by cops for no reason other than the fact that he possesses a gun. It's coming...
