Cops should be attending traffic stops in multiples.
It is usually the single cop situations that seem most prone to these types of shootings, justified or not.
In many of these kinds of situatins, the cop would be better just writing a ticket and walking away.
Lyoya's parents sold beer and clothing for money; his mother was once raped by rebels on her way home.
The Lyoya family moved to Malawi in 2003 and Lyoya spent half of his life living in a bamboo house at a refugee camp. In 2014 the family received asylum in the United States.
Lyoya often assisted fellow refugees who were establishing themselves in the Grand Rapids area. While in the United States Lyoya had a difficult time establishing himself; he did not yet speak the English language very well, he switched homes frequently, and he changed blue-collar jobs multiple times.
He had also been arrested for drunk driving several times and was ordered to be assessed for substance use disorder, with Lyoya telling his friends that he was trying to improve his life.
He had two children and had been living in Grand Rapids for about five years prior to the incident.
He was just turning his life around.

If I were a cop there, I would be making no more traffic stops for anything. If the State no longer has your back for perps resisting arrest, then there is no longer any need to put yourself in a situation where they might resist...
So the dead perp was struggling with the cop???
Google for the body cam video, the Grand Rapids PD immediately released it to justify the shooting, it clearly shows the police officer repeatedly telling the suspect to let go of the taser he stole from the officer before getting shot.
Would need a lot more info but ... another story says Lyoya took off running after being stopped for something minor; said Lyoya was fighting with the cop; said Lyoya was trying to get the cop's taser.
Prayers for the honorable Christopher Schurr. No surprise that barbarians are unable to work and learn the language in America, since we have been dealing with barbarians for one thousand years.
Dude grabbed cops taser. Both struggled to get control of the taser. Cop screams at him to let go. Finally shoots him. What reasonable person would blame the cop. Politically motivated coward indictment
The common element in most of these types of stories is the perp would not obey the cop and/or fought with the cop. Suicide by cop.
