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

Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves (Rom. 13:1-2).
Five common denominators to all of these stories:
Black victim.
White cop.
Resisting arrest.
Struggle between victim and cop.
Cop uses deadly force to protect himself.
One simple solution:
DO NOT RESIST ARREST.
I SURRENDER
Why would any white cop bother to get out of his patrol car these days, especially in a black area, with black suspects? What possible benefit is there?
Wait until the crime is over and the perps are long gone, then fill out the report.
If Rev. Al, Holder and Obama intend to make you the enemy, simply keep your head down, stay safe, stay PC, and do everything “by the book.”
And for some here the cops can do no right. I’ve even had some suggest that all PDs should be abolished, because they didn’t have them when the constitution was passed.
Mostly the cops do a good job and we need them. That doesn’t mean they need to treat every warrant like a military operation, shoot any dog that barks at them, or conduct body searches just because someone has an out of state license plate. Still, if you lay a hand on an officer, you’re going down, one way or another.
I SURRENDER
Where can I get the large version of the “wants more government” and “more government” photo?
Mark Steyn referred to it once!
I’ll bet he was high.
Wasn’t shot because of the drugs.
He was shot because the cop thought he had a gun and was fighting to get it.
Were the drugs worth risking his life for?
If that article is to be believed, the guy made a bad choice on that question and lost.
Re-segregation may be what this Country is headed to. “Can’t teach me unless you look like me”, “Can’t arrest me if you don’t look like me”. They have been doing it with Education.
Funny.
See “How to Not Get Your Ass Kicked By The Police” by Chris Rock.
For all its humor and edgy language, it’s still very good advice, even for a white guy.
LOLOLOL!!
“Shoot dead” is a phrase that can’t go away soon enough.
Doesn’t matter
Cops always right to the Submissive Sally’s here
Jackboot love is forever on Free Republic
BTW...I Wardaddy....known southern kinsman and alleged racist
Does not care the color of the victim if JBTs are acting up
And yes...some like Darren Wilson are justified
The ciggie seller killing....not justified
This one I don’t know enough
That’s a keeper.
I can see it now. Holders new ROE (Rules of Engagement) for police, see ROE for troops in Afghanistan.
