A Phoenix police officer shot to death an unarmed black man during a struggle and authorities said the officer believed the individual had a gun, in the latest fatal incident amid national turmoil over the policing of black communities.
The Phoenix Police Department said Rumain Brisbon, 34, was sitting in a black Cadillac SUV outside a convenience store on Tuesday evening, and that two witnesses told the officer the occupants of the vehicle were selling drugs.
With police forces across the country under increased scrutiny over killings of unarmed black men, Phoenix police said in a statement that its officer called for backup, and then saw Brisbon appear to remove something from the car's back seat

I’m sure Obama is tickled pink with this incident,gives him a chance to give another community organizer speech. Remember, he doesn't comment on specific cases - just about the epidemic and the need for executive actions.

Good catch. The quality of journalism is so low these days that most of us just roll our eyes at idiotic headlines.

WHAT is that??? A simple .gif of some police beating a guy at the end of a chase. Apparently against the rules (deleted by moderator) for some unknown reason.
To: DoodleDawg
I got the feeling the cop thought HE was going to get shot.

If you’re a thug making a furtive movement or refusing to obey instructions, you look to get shot.
Contrary to what people think, a traffic stop is dangerous. You never know what the guy behind the wheel is thinking.
In all 50 states, cops are legally authorized to use force to detain you. Whether they have to use it is up to you - you can make it less stressful or you can have a bad day.
But some people have no respect for authority these days.
