no resisting arrest was!

why don't people like you GET IT!!?!?!

it doesn't matter if he was just J walking or pulling the tag off a mattress !! he a cop approaches you and you attack him... you have put yourself into a life and death struggle involving a deadly weapon (the officer is carrying a weapon) and if you were to win the fight, you could get ahold of his weapon and use it one him. Thus the officer has no choice but to use deadly force to stop you.

What happened BEFORE the fight doesn’t matter! The SECOND the man gets in a physical confrontation with the cop he has fortified his life.

If a suspect wants to argue his case, the side of the road isn’t the place to do it.

I think the word you meant to use was FORFETED. At the conclusion of the altercation the dead man had been FORTIFIED with the addition of lead to his body.

So simply refusing to obey a cop's orders is grounds for getting shot. I thought that deadly force was supposed to be the last resort, not the first. That is was meant to be used only when the police officer's life was in danger, or the life and safety of another civilian was in danger. But in this case nobody's life was in danger. No gun was seen. No threats made. Just an unarmed guy trying to get away. And the cop shot him for it.

Exactly. If you ar armed you absolutely do not want to get into a physical fight with the bad guy.
