just because someone has a gun doesn't make them an automatic threat, just like a shooting of someone who doesn't have a gun can still be justified, see ferguson.
Watch the fucking execution video. He didn't pose a threat you cop-sucking slave.
Video inconclusive imo. He ignored repeated commands to disarm. As long as he retained possession of the firearm he remained a threat.
MMQB - but he should have been given commands to sit down and put his hands behind his head. After which, officers could have approached the subject and detained him by handcuff/taking the weapon themselves.
One side communicating poorly and one side being obstinate. Not a good combination.
I sure as fuck wouldn't be rioting and looting and potentially putting MY life on the line as a result of THAT incident.
You would think a multi-convicted felon with multiple prison sentences under his belt would understand what happens when you threaten cops with a gun and refuse to comply with orders.

You and I would think like that, but the dude had a traumatic brain injury.

Totally agree, good poast. The lack of complete instruction and two way communication led to tragedy IMO.
This thread is a freaking abortion. Maybe if cops would stop indiscriminately shooting people those people would feel better about "following the rules."

You think that would make them want to start....
Risk/reward, you know.
Unless there's some kind of 72 virgin martyr thing for proving a point that hasn't been widely publicized.
So many Americans complaining about cops killing people and vice versa. The solution is simple...we need less interactions between cops and people. There are too many laws and too many cops out there pulling people over for every little thing. You can't push a police-state agenda and not expect tension between the people and the enforcers.
The last time I went to Washington a year or two ago, I got pulled over and BITCHED AT by a state patrol faggot for going 65mph in a 60mph zone. Yeah, not even 10% over. He spoke to me like I had just smashed the 10 commandments. I don't really fucking appreciate that. Did I want to pull out a gun and shoot him? No, but I was fucking pissed.
People are tired of not feeling free anymore. There's only so much we can tolerate here. We aren't descendants of the faggots who stayed in Europe because they like having their lives controlled and dictated. We are descendants of those that wanted to be free. Either the cops and government back the fuck off, or more blood will be shed.
That's all just generally speaking. I know nothing about the story in OP. Just wanted to type words about stuff.

To which the judge replied: “You shot at him ten times.”

I see the media has gotten through to this one.
