The NY cop had EVERY reason to suspect Sweat was armed; Matt was.
There is just no comparison of the two events you reference.
Hmm Armed or unarmed doesn't seem to matter unless you are of lighter skin gendra...Running, driving or walking or hey just answering one's door> IF black mean's YOU are a threat..See the huge difference...Mass killers, killers of cops and others who happen to have lighter skin always seem to be captured alive..But those others...NOT SO MUCH!!
MATT was a felon on the Run but he WAS shot in the HEAD (x3) ( kill shots) but then again he was drunk and had a shotgun.....Hummmm so Had to shoot..
.Fear Factor is woven into any and ALL shootings..BUT more shootings seem to get triggered due to "Pre-Conceived" fears constantly banged into their head..Like Dark Skin folk are "Super Human Menaces" Fear is something preached and screamed about by politicians..based on nothing but rhetoric..only a few examples...
Yet somehow have no problem using duly taught de-escation technics with lighter skin'd folk...Wonder why that happens??
Surely a convicted cop killer could be deemed a threat after 3+ weeks ( desperate) but a teen walking with a bro is somehow some sort or terrorist...Separate topic..yet also brought into question when OP question "Sht in Back" as something unnecessary
Right. cops shoot man is back has not been the story..story is escaped killer caught.
I searched the net for a t-shirt with no luck. Couldn't find a bumper sticker and the black caucus failed to stand with their hands up don't shoot pose. No violent protests. Days??? they just got the guy.
CBS didn't alter the tapes and the Shrapton circus never left the barn.
So - the guy in SC was told to stop too. He was running from a cop, which means he was an escaping felon too. I know the laws - I TEACH this stuff - but I thought it would be interesting to get the public opinion on the two events - and how media perception skews events.
Really there is no difference, both ran from the law and could be a threat to others.
Yeah no difference from the escaped convict who had killed a cop before, and whose accomplice had robbed a house of weapons. Nope, no difference at all

Ok, so one white guy is killed and one white guy is taken alive. What is your point? Shall we just dismiss the white guy who was killed?
If Sweat had been black, that officer would still have tried not to kill him. I'm sure the word was put out to try to take the remaining escapee alive in order to get information out of him. Would not have mattered whether the guy was white or black, brown, or yellow.
However, I do agree with you that blacks seem to be shot at (and killed) in far greater numbers that whites. I'm not disputing that.

How would the other cop have know what the guy did? How would he know the guy didn't murder someone and that's why he ran. cops are not mind readers are they? so how would he know? see I can do it too.
