I'm getting tired of hearing about a black person getting shot by a cop

I like law in enforcement and all but

This is outrageous

I literally saw this on the news a second ago

Can you we not using guns unless someone's actually a threat

Might as well take away guns and use batons again

You clearly don't know the Bill of Rights.

"... nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law"

To follow up my deleted post, I am stating how we are hearing so many reports of a white cop killing an unarmed black man (or a woman, boy or girl).

Bullsh!t! If he attacked him, then ran away, he has all the reasons to be shot. Welcome to the legal system! You disobey the law, you pay the fines. I don't care if its being tazed or shot, this cop was trained to do just that. Subdue suspects. Which he did in ways that had to be done. I stand by this cop 110%

It's criminals like that who get off the hook for the stuff they do and its the liberals like you that believe them and make them go free.

He shot an unarmed man while he was running away SEVERAL times, how can you stand behind him?

IMO I hope he gets sentenced to life, this is just absurd.

Exactly, Evo8 is right. There is reportedly leaked video footage. See, he claims he was "fighting for his life." Hmm.... not what the video shows. Apparently he was"fighting for his life" even though the victim was running away.

Another person shot by a cop for being black now this is not good. Why people think this is right they are very wrong on where they stand in this world.

Oh god, I don't want to abuse the 2nd Amendment therefore I must be a liberal. Did you watch the video? He didn't try to subdue the man at all, he pulled out a gun RIGHT AWAY. He wasn't even running that fast, and the size difference had no reason to lead him to be "scared for his life" especially if the man didn't take his stun gun...

The thing is, you don't know what that officer actually said to the man either when they were face to face, and conservatives (ex: you) love just assuming that 101% of cops aren't corrupt/racist. We probably had the same views on the Brown/Trayvon Martin cases but this one is obviously the cops fault.

I'm not saying every single cop is corrupt. I know that they're are some. But that's besides the fact. A corrupt cop would entitle that a cop shoots a man for no reason at all. Yes, I will admit.. This was a bit on the edge, but either way, the suspect ran from the cops. Maybe the man didn't deserve 8 in the back, but the cop did what he had to do in order to subdue the suspect.

But he did more than he needed to in order to subdue the man. He didn't pose a threat what-so-ever and wasn't even running fast. Just because you have a gun doesn't mean its always necessary.

I sometimes wonder if people like you can't actually be reasoned with because you don't have any perception of empathy.

Someone runs from the police? They deserve to die.
Or maybe the police officer should do what we require them to be fit for and run after him?
I guess not in your mind though, because you see it as any indiscretion against a police officer, no matter how minor, warrants a death sentence.

I'm not naive enough to believe that.
