I suggest we wait for the cop’s version to come out before we condemn the officer.

I am a white boy and had the crap beat out of me while Innocent, polite and compliant.

Got no justice from the judge either, but the cop and the sheriff both ended up in the federal penitentiary.

This looks very bad. Why did he need to be shot at all, let alone 8 times. I may get flamed for this, but I think that cop needs to be charged with attempted murder.

You won't get flamed you little snowflake.

FReepers are compassionate and feel sorry for mentally challenged people {like you} so they will give you a pass.

Bless your heart.

Yes.
The video of the armed black citizen who was holding at gunpoint a white guy who unlawfully got into his car.
Google, “So you went to bed last night and woke up stupid,” sometime. It’s hilarious.

Eight times?

The cop ran out of bullets, if he'd have had 13, he'd have shot 13 times.

Have you ever been in a life threatening situation?

It might change your views.

The fellow had a warrant out. When the cops came to investigate a domestic violence event (two women fighting) they naturally turn to the man, probably because of their “domestic violence trying.”

He wants no part of it, and doesn’t want to give his name to the police because he’ll then be arrested for the warrent, and figures he’ll just beat it.

Cops won’t let him do that, follow him to his car and shoot him when he reaches in, thinking he MIGHT have a weapon ( he doesn’t)

Don’t know what the warrant was for, but it seemed like he was doing his best to take care of his kids.

Apparently there were children in the car. The police do not know the intention of the guy. Accessing the car could have meant getting a weapon or driving off and endangering the children. There is a whole lot nobody knows about this.
Way too early to reach any conclusions.

They’d do the same if it was a white guy.


that’s how I saw it too.

I’ve found that with all of these shooting videos over the years with cops shooting black guys (except for one) they all have a common theme: The dead guy is responding to the cops in a way that I think would get me shot. And I’m speaking as a guy that used to get pulled over an average of three times a year.

I never ran. I never talked smack. I never reached in hidden places, I was never high, etc. In every case I’ve seen on a video, it wasn’t the guy’s race that got him shot. It was his actions.

A lot of cops, including two cousins on the NYPD, live by the bromide that their first responsibility is to safely get home to their families each day. Understandable but then choose a different career. You never hear firemen say the same thing.

"Seemed like", well there ya go, that's enough for you, little darlen.

Why are so many FReepers so quick to side with the perp?

The cops are not riding around looking for black guys so they can shoot some.

Idiot. Watch THIS VIDEO and tell me if you think these two cops need to be charged.

Same situation. Resisting....taser not working....makes it back to car...procures gun (probably stolen).....tries to kill everyone on site. Good shoot IMHO. You NEVER let a detained person return to their car in a hostile matter.

So what would your other idiotic response have been if he grabbed a gun out of the car and shot the officers.

That is part of the problem is the human factor. Under extreme durress people are more likely to do stupid things. The rioting has only increased pressure on the police and incidents like this are more likely to happen.

Once you CHOOSE to Resist Arrest it’s all on you. Perps are playing games and Police are (rightfully) deadly serious.

I really think we need a mandatory sentencing law for resisting arrest. Something like 5 years in jail for resisting arrest. Just make it really freaking obvious that being a jerk and walking away, or running away from the police is a stupid, stupid move. We see these cases where a guy gets shot -- because he's being dumb, It should be part of the culture that even if you manage to avoid getting shot, you WILL be going to prison. So just don't be a jerk to the cops.

So now, instead of showing the convention this week, the networks will be covering the rioting and looting in Wisconsin. How convenient.

No, not everyone. Just blax. And it all began when MLK plagiarized his “I’ve got a dream” speech.
