would you say that WHEREVER you are being 'assaulted' by a suspect is potentially dangerous, and more so than lets say, watching one run away?
and would you say that the training and wherewithall to find non lethal means to deal with said 'assaults' is a testament to how well a cop does their job compared to one what has to use lethal force against running suspects?
gee what a shock ,again with the 17 year old honour student hanging out with thugs involved in a prior shooting being shot and killed while running away,
I wonder what took you so long to bring that up again? good Lord.
Let me say that slower for you
It depends on the jurisdiction the police are in and what the crime they are investigating.
You dont seem to grasp that there are bad people in the world, and since we are talking about America and lets talk about the hoodrats that kills police or assaults police.
Cops dont take chances anymore, we are going round and round, Im going to say the numb-nut honour student hung out with thugs that shot someone earlier, and you're going to say he was a kid running for his life blah blah blah.
Sorry its B.S and you know it.
the driver of the car wasn't shot, if the driver of the car was shot along with that 17 year old, I would possibly agree that it was excessive force.
Hey if he wants to hang out with hood rats well there are consequences and it this case it was fatal.
whats BS is that a cop ACTUALLY being assaulted can make an arrest without killing someone, yet a cop who sees someone RUNNING away doesnt see an option but to use lethal force.
that doesnt matter WHERE one is at, assault is assault, and running is running.
Someone who is drunk and rowdy is completely different than a shooting. The drunk guy couldn't do much damage. The hoodrats had a gun and already used it once. What makes anyone think they wouldn't use it again.
not really, an assault is an assault, whether one is drinking or sober, and an assault, drunk or sober, is more threatening than a person RUNNING AWAY FROM YOU, will ever be, especially when there is gun involved that the person assaulting you might be able to reach and use against you.
The difference is one had a deadly weapon and the other one didn't.
not true, one was running away UNARMED, the other was struggling with a person who HAD A WEAPON that they could have gained control of ....
He dropped his gun in the vehicle and ran. He should have sat still with his hands where the policeman could see them. He would still be alive today. He was badass shooting when nobody shot back. Then he got chicken and dropped his gun and ran. It became real and less like the vidoes he had idioled.
once again, repeating it does not make it true, nor does it show that the cop at that time would know ANY of that for sure
in fact, it was the OTHER Passenger who did the shooting. There is no evidence of the dead teens prints on those weapons as of yet, and being chicken is not a capital offense.
