Execution of POC by police... HipChick Apr 2021 #2

I don't think you're going to find a lot of folks trying to justify this. Captain Stern Apr 2021 #3

Oh, you'd be surprised ... StarfishSaver Apr 2021 #4

It only took 10 posts ... StarfishSaver Apr 2021 #14

Show me in my post where I justified the killing. marie999 Apr 2021 #17

They killed him to save his life. Cops are sworn to protect innocent life, so it was justified. sop Apr 2021 #46

He is alive, despite being shot 10 times. LisaL Apr 2021 #80

Even I can't see why he opened up like that Watchfoxheadexplodes Apr 2021 #5

You can't? StarfishSaver Apr 2021 #6

State your argument Watchfoxheadexplodes Apr 2021 #7

How about that? IrishAfricanAmerican Apr 2021 #9

When all else fails, play dumb StarfishSaver Apr 2021 #11

Black guy with a cell phone is one of their greatest hits! IrishAfricanAmerican Apr 2021 #13

If the suspect is Black Bettie Apr 2021 #34

Skittles ... bottle of water ... StarfishSaver Apr 2021 #35

And compliance, well Bettie Apr 2021 #36

"Show me your hands" Adam showed him his hands. And got shot anyway StarfishSaver Apr 2021 #38

It's always going to be too fast Bettie Apr 2021 #48

... StarfishSaver Apr 2021 #55

Yep Bettie Apr 2021 #66

This! PutGramaOnThePhone Apr 2021 #65

I'm not wholly convinced you're aware of the difference between "can not" and "will not LanternWaste Apr 2021 #47

It will interesting to see what excuses people come up with to justify this shooting Chautauquas Apr 2021 #8

Look down ... StarfishSaver Apr 2021 #25

I was wrong Chautauquas Apr 2021 #29

Until there is a full investigation, I will not say what I feel about the officer's actions. marie999 Apr 2021 #10

And we have a winner StarfishSaver Apr 2021 #12

Amazing gab13by13 Apr 2021 #18

I did not write that I thought the officer was justified. marie999 Apr 2021 #28

But you assumed the victim did not comply. Why? MrsCoffee Apr 2021 #50

But you assumed the victim didn't comply and that if he had he POSSIBLY wouldn't have been killed StarfishSaver Apr 2021 #57

Why do you think he didn't raise his hands? Why are you assuming he didn't comply? MrsCoffee Apr 2021 #20

Yet, you'll say what you feel about the victim's actions mcar Apr 2021 #26

Not just the victim. marie999 Apr 2021 #30

I think I'll make the decision not to listen to you anymore. Tommymac Apr 2021 #31

In this case, the victim did what the cop said to do mcar Apr 2021 #32

Like the conflicting, impossible to obey contradictory orders given to the army Lt.? niyad Apr 2021 #39

Exactly! PutGramaOnThePhone Apr 2021 #45

Including letting him/her search your vehicle without cause? mac2766 Apr 2021 #59

Woah...really...simple as... PutGramaOnThePhone Apr 2021 #63

Why is that? Captain Stern Apr 2021 #71

Why? Voltaire2 Apr 2021 #75

No PutGramaOnThePhone Apr 2021 #40

Thank you so much for this thoughtful and insightful post StarfishSaver Apr 2021 #42

This! So much... PutGramaOnThePhone Apr 2021 #49

O.M.G. ShazzieB Apr 2021 #76

Disobeying a lawful order of a police officer is a second-degree misdemeanor, it is not a capital sop Apr 2021 #54

What order did he disobey? Solomon Apr 2021 #64

He reportedly disobeyed the officer's orders: sop Apr 2021 #69

Since he didn't have a gun, how could he have dropped it? LisaL Apr 2021 #79

Since the cop assumed it was a gun, he should have dropped the phone. marie999 Apr 2021 #81

But how would he know what the cop assumed? LisaL Apr 2021 #82

He's supposed to have the presence of mind to use logic in a moment like that? StarfishSaver Apr 2021 #85

what?? llashram Apr 2021 #56

Another of these 'if they would just comply' BS.. HipChick Apr 2021 #72

Justifying summary execution. Voltaire2 Apr 2021 #74

A gun and a phone don't look alike, BTW ecstatic Apr 2021 #77

Ummmm what was the rush to shoot? Happy Hoosier Apr 2021 #78

It seems to me, based on the article, that he clearly tried to save the man's life. Thinking he had Carlitos Brigante Apr 2021 #15

NO, Son! Don't DO IT! StarfishSaver Apr 2021 #16

I think charges need to be brought when cops misidentify a threat when none exist SYFROYH Apr 2021 #19

The problem is that cops disproportionately assume Black people are threats StarfishSaver Apr 2021 #22

Yes, that true, but I think we still need to get cops in court SYFROYH Apr 2021 #24

True StarfishSaver Apr 2021 #27

Gonna have to reign in those unions first. IrishAfricanAmerican Apr 2021 #61

I agree. Captain Stern Apr 2021 #37

Right!? n/t PutGramaOnThePhone Apr 2021 #51

No excuse. Not for one shot, let alone ten n/t Tom Rinaldo Apr 2021 #21

Same event but . . . people Apr 2021 #58

I can't imagine how frightening it is cate94 Apr 2021 #62

Cop said the magic words to justify killing... Just like one of the first episodes of South Park RockRaven Apr 2021 #67

Shot 10 times. CaptainTruth Apr 2021 #68

"He was clearly trying to end his own life." BobTheSubgenius Apr 2021 #70

I think a good number of cops are ill-suited to the job. -misanthroptimist Apr 2021 #73

Cop's an idiot and should be locked up greenjar_01 Apr 2021 #83

That about sums it up. LisaL Apr 2021 #84
