Resisting arrest and then going into a vehicle while the police are surrounding you with weapons drawn sounds almost like a “suicide by cop” scenario.
Look at all the mutants whose deaths/shootings have attracted all this media attention. The one thing they all had in common is that they were RESISTING ARREST. Shut up and get in the police car, you morons.
“I’m no fan of the police but this shooting was justified, from what I can see in the video.”
Eight times?
The police need skills to handle mental cases, drug users, and other Democrats without shooting them. Biden level stupid should hurt but not be a capital offense.
Once a helicopter is covering a high speed chase the police back off for safety reasons because there's no way the perp is getting away. Similarly the police should send up flying fishing net drones over problem customers, then back away. Robots have no wife and children they need to safely return to after their shift and have no legal basis for the use of lethal force.
Shooting someone in the back can never be justified, nevermind 7 times.
That seems to be lost on many, even here.
There seems to be some narrative being floated that it’s ok to resist arrest if “you don’t think it’s right”. Wrong. It just escalates things and makes a situation dangerous for everyone. Accept the arrest and deal with it in court.
...otherwise, when the guns get drawn and you attempt to reach into a vehicle - cops had no choice, a second later and they could be getting shot.
...I’ll also note, from the video I’ve seen, that the audio is muted at first - why? What are the cops saying to him? The audio comes on for the shots and screaming.
