I think you're missing his point. Resisting arrest with a gun on you doesn't always lead to the death of the perpetrator. There are situations where it ends much more optimally than this one


Would you agree death is a legitimate possibility in this scenario?

You ask stupid questions and contribute ZERO to any thread you post on. You think you by making these "quick witted" responses that people will believe that you are intelligent... It's rather comical


to the assertion that simply having a gun with him is enough to be a good shoot, its a pretty reasonable follow up question.

Wtf are you talking about? That is not an instigating question, and you're being sensitive. It's a fair question. If you are going into a situation where someone is threatening with a gun, it's fair to think the police would have guns drawn and potentially fire on the suspect.

Ironic that your posts mentions non contributing to the thread considering your post didn't contribute anything to the thread.

Literally every time there is a shooting involving a cop, so many ask why less lethal measures weren't used. Now in a situation where they were used multiples time, you're questioning it? You are doing nothing but stirrings hit with that question, and you know it.

At 0:24 seconds his shoulders head and chest come off the ground with 2 adults putting their weight on his upper body.


Only one guy is on his arm and the other officer is lower towards his midsection and on the same side of his body as the other. Again, his actions are likely to blame for what is probably a justified shooting. However, it doesn't exactly look good for the officers and I'm not sure how that is debatable. The guy is standing there, not moving, when he is tackled. He is thrown to the ground, we cannot see the gun, we cannot see his actions on the ground, we only hear commands from the police and we don't know if he breaks those commands. We then hear 3 shots.

As I said last night, the video doesn't disprove the officers' account, but it doesn't help their cause either. It isn't a good look and I'm not sure how that is debatable. Most people are filling in the gaps with their own opinions of what they think happened or what they want to have happened and passing it off as fact.

yup - and i think that we do not know where on the spectrum this one lands yet (may never).

there are certainly things that could make it skew much closer to totally justified, or not at all.
