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.

I agree.

But like I said before, we can't tell much from the video besides they shot him and he wasn't following commands..

For all we know the guy was talking to the police the entire time. And we only see the last minute of the event. It's possible the police were talking him down for an hour or maybe it was for just a few minutes.

I'm not saying the cop didn't do anything wrong. I'm saying not following a cops orders and resisting arrest is a very stupid thing to do. That's basically all i said. Cops aren't mma fighters, they don't usually want to go toe to toe with suspects. They want to go home without any injuries.

Many suspects insist on intentionally consciously causing dangerous - potentially lethal - situations by continuously escalating the level of instability and uncertainty of officer safety and the safety of the public.

They set out to create circumstances where anything can happen. Including the use of lethal force.

People like that are mindf*ckers that have spent their lives playing 'chicken' with others and intimidating them with their calculated escalating possible repercussion schemes.

Eventually, they 'outsmart' themselves and are removed from being allowed to further pollute the gene pool.

Now you change your tune, I give up with you it's like trying to talk to a naughty stubborn child.

I didn't change anything. You're just so wrapped up in arguing you take what I say and twist it to fit your argument.

I said I have no sympathy for people who resist arrest.

You took that as I think cops should shoot unarmed people.

So full of angries you are. I can't help you have trouble keeping up with the conversation.

You and rob are basically the same exact person. You're perfect liberals, you take statements from people you disagree with and blow them into way more than they are. And the messed up statements made by people you agree with you use a totally different approach.

At least I am consistent, if I say I disagree with something I don't change that view based on who says it. Like yourself.

Besides, this is the current events /news section. We're not supposed to be bickering in here, and I don't want to ruin this section for others who want to have grown up conversations.

So if you want to act like this, I'm available in the watercooler as you well know. Have a little respect for others and the rules.

If you can't follow basic police procedures, then don't be a fucking cop. If you don't want to follow a use of force protocol, maybe a career in Law Enforcement in Brazil would be a better option.

It's that simple.

There is no excuse for killing unarmed people that are not posing an imminent threat. That's called murder, and that's probably what these guys are looking at unless the dead man had a gun in the hand we can't see.

A badge doesn't give someone the right to become the judicial system all on their own.

That's his game..... He's attempting to look like the innocent one and lure someone into getting infractions..... How much you want to bet he hasn't already reported people?

...white...? the officers involved were Mexicans, as was the "victim". northern Mexican= mostly indigenous First Nations("indian"), and perhaps a tiny bit of Spanish genetics.
