Medical attention? What about some simple comfort while this man is dying? Instead of just screaming like a bunch of twats

He deserved scorn, ridicule and abuse in vast amounts hurled at him until his last dying breath.

I dont believe in kicking a man when hes down. No one deserves further discomfort on their way out unless they are truly bad bad men and I dont believe him to be by the actions in the video anyway.

Fuck cops!

I don't blame the cop. He was in an intensely hostile situation, surrounded by hostile people. The vendor should've minded his own business, and certainly not try to man-handle the cop.

There has to be order. And if one person revolts, it could draw other people into it and turn into a bloodbath. I believe in making an example of one person to bring order back.

P.S. I'm not a sadistic tyrant. I just believe in weeding out the idiots and fuckwits of this world

In the US and Canada using pepper spray against an officer or trying to take a can of pepper spray away from an officer are both acts that can legally result in a deadly force response. For that matter so is trying to take (or actually taking) an officer's firearm or baton. Let me explain why...if you're armed and someone uses pepper spray on you, you're basically incapacitated...you can't shoot back, fist fight effectively, or otherwise protect your firearm/baton/pepper spray. Your firearm/baton/pepper spray are able to be taken from you while you're incapacitated.

As usual...if the idiot that got shot had just minded his own business or better yet just did what the officer told him to do and get back and stopped interfering...he'd still be alive today. He clearly was attempting either to take the officer's firearm or his pepper spray. The officer was fully within his rights to feel threatened by the growing hostile crowd and use his verbal commands to get back and deploy pepper spray to protect himself, the other officers present, and the bad guy. Why can't folks just mind their own business, quietly video record the incident, and let the arrest proceed without issue. If they feel the arrest was somehow wrong or illegal, then take the video and file a complaint. People need to stop interfering with police activity then bitch when something like this happens. That copper was fully within his legal rights to deploy pepper spray and draw his firearm to get people back and to stop interfering. What the fuck is wrong with people? Who cares what the police are doing to that guy...he was clearly struggling and resisting the officers...why would you interject yourself into that incident. Step back, shut up, video record, file a complaint if warranted. What dumbasses.

I normally would be the cop hater here but on this occasion, and after reading your comment, I have to tend to agree. If the crowd had just minded their own business no one would have died.

now imagine if he was off duty
100% more dangerous to the society

[Splay]

Oh, well. Attack a man waving a gun around, and see what happens. This is simple common sense. I'm just surprised the dumbass cop didn't shoot his own buddy in the back of the head before that. Who trained these guys in muzzle control, the Three Stooges?

[Quiet]

Trying to take the cops pepper spray was pretty stupid, especially when the cop is waving the gun around like a moron.
