That 400k in the matter of a few days is pretty impressive. At least the opportunity will be there.


I expect it go even higher, possibly up to $750K.

The local losing college in this situation? Southern University.

These children will have opportunities to go to the most prestigious colleges in America.

Mr. Sterlilng looks a lot like this guy.



And unfortunately, both were killed by firearms. And one could argue, both were by choice based upon the decisions that were made that ultimately lead to their deaths.

My problem with this case is, how is it possible for the man to be trying to grab his gun and shoot the officers, when he is being completely detained n the grouns by the officers. He can barely move, yet he was getting his gun? I dont buy that.

Watch the 2nd video, the cop does not appear to have his right arm under control.

There is lots of movement with a scuffle for something on the right side the moment the cop yelled that he had a gun. There wouldn't be that much movement if the cop had complete control.

Why did it get to the point of tasering?


That is the question.


Easy answer. He did not comply with officers, and was suspected but not confirmed to have a gun.

do you foresee agencies changing their protocols in these types of situations? I think put hands on your head and drop to your knees appears to be more ideal than having to take suspects down in a wrestling match.

You and I have very different opinions on what "completely detained" means, but if you don't buy it, in your opinion why did they shoot him?

Not going to avoid this unless you can shoot them if they run, like an enemy in retreat.
