You can ignore the facts, that's your thing. I'm not trying this case, I trust we'll know after the investigation what exactly happened.

I don't think the cop decided he wanted to just murder this guy.

You obviously do.

Does that make you angry?

What are the facts you ignorant fuck?

Das raciss!

Next, you'll dare to insinuate the ridiculously non-Afrocentric, totally foreign and quite frankly...odious...concept of "responsibility" into the dialogue.

Gabe's looking well.

Cop probably told him to get on the ground. And if he did, he'd be alive. It's difficult to tell in this video, but it looked like he may have put his hands down right before he was shot.

Maybe he had a bulge in his pocket the police were worried about. Maybe he said he was going to kill them. Or maybe they deserve to be charged.

But in the end his resisting got him killed.

Using that standard of justification, anyone with a significant hearing impairment, and those who don't speak the same language as the arresting officers, are playing Russian Roulette anytime they may windup on the wrong side of the long arm of the law. Miscommunication, in any circumstance, should not result in you getting a bullet in your ass while your arms are already in the air.
Shoot first, ask questions later is just not a good tactic, it's not worth the risk. There are plenty of other ways to incapacitate an unarmed suspect, especially if it's two against one.

Now they are saying he might have had a knife in his hand.

You guys need to chill. No one here was there so we have no idea what really happened right there. Griping about it wont help either. So split up or fuck eachother, I don't care. Attacking eachother on the bases of incomplete evidence is just idiotic.

Dude had his hands up,.and cop just aimed and shot him...like target practice. Ridiculous. I don't care what he was doing prior...Dude had his hands up and was shot for it

Thanked 100x.

I haven't put my two cents in but it looked like but hands were up, he was not being fully compliant, was unarmed, was not getting on the ground, was at a safe distance and not charging, and ran away at first.

There's nothing you can say that I can think of that would make cops shoot while your hands are in the air at a safe distance.

Unless there was a weaopon or other threat I can't see/hear/imagine, it was uncalled for.

I was thinking 1. hearing imparied 2. off meds 3. you never know what the impetus was for the original attack assuming (as I do) he was the perp.
