An asshole that shouldn’t have been let anywhere near a badge or a gun, as is the case with at least as many police shootings as not.

The standard for a justified shooting for a police officer is one hell of a lot higher than it was even a few years ago; we either deal with it or let the cities burn; if they don’t have a real gun, in their hand, ready to use and they die while being arrested there will be riots. That’s just reality and it’s not changing.

Arrested dies, city fries- at least if there isn’t body camera footage of the perp drawing their gun on the officer. Those who don’t like it had best move out of any city now.

APPARENTLY the female cop pulled her gun instead of the taser.

"...25 or 6 to 4..."


Well, we are talking about Chicago, so that seems plausible.

Law enforcement across all levels is not doing much to endear themselves to traditional Back The Blue supporters of the recent past, lately.
Police officers and others should decide right quick with whom they wish to stand shoulder-to-shoulder...because it hasn't been normal folks.

What’s so damn hard for people of all ages and colors to understand that just have to listen and shut up when confronted by law enforcement? It seems simple tome, as I and so many others of senior citizen status were taught when we were growing up. No big deal, if you ask me. Sheesh!

"...just have to listen and shut-up..."


What is your plan when there is a warrant for your arrest when investigations reveal you voted for Donald J. Trump in both 2016 and 2020 making you a repeat insurrectionist? That is not proverbial Officer Friendly who wishes to chat.

Too far-flung you say? FBI agents visited people AT THEIR HOMES just because they made credit card purchases for food, gasoline, and lodging in the Washington, D.C. general area in early-January 2021.

Remember how cops fought the body cam thing?

Said it would “Impact effective policing”?

A cop is a civilian, yet they have rules of engagement well below that of an active military soldier.

“I meant to use my taser!” is the reason?

You’re erroneous

This site defends cops even when it’s indefensible

This shooting is indefensible

Stupid woman cop....which is often the case.....thought she had her taser

Shot him with her firearm instead

A few weeks ago similar incident in Oklahoma a lady cop unexpectedly fires off her taser....and everybody else opens up on a 14 year old WHITE kid who’d laid his gun down already

Blew his brains out

I saw one cop sobbing for what he’d done....freepers were high fiving

Freepers cheered

No buddy this cop love central

The Houston killings it took weeks for freepers to see the light

The mood here is basically if u have a criminal record you had it coming even if cops screw up

Waco biker massacre same thing

The hotel hallway murder..

I could go on and on

This one was a bad shoot

The cop spraying the black officer was also a bad reaction by cops

It happens

What’s making it louder now are cameras and race hustling

But none of that should distract from the truth surrounding a bad kill

What sort of nation u want....cops can shoot thugs or rowdy rednecks just cause ?

Those same cops will come for your guns and you will squeal then.

People here are overly idealistic about lawmen

Look at your FBI and ATF

U ok with those outfits....I’m not

This is a Wolf Ticket Selling Bazaar is what it is

A lot of veneer

How am I erroneous; I think you have me mixed up with the copsuckers who have never heard of a bad shoot (unless cop was black and victim white).

If there isn’t body camera footage of the perp with a gun, it’s a bad shoot and the cop, their boss, and any trainer should lose their job.

the ignorant thugs don’t get the po po are they only thing protecting THEM.

Armed citizens will take care of crime in their neighborhood/suburbs.
