Patrick Harmon was in full retreat running away from a Salt Lake City officer when the cop opened fire. Harmon was shot in the back and later died. From the video I see no evidence of an imminent threat to the officer. Unjustified deadly use of force, manslaughter or 2nd degree murder.
We have to stop coddling these rogue cops. 99% of cops are professionals and would never do this. You can't weed out the bad apples by coddling them.
Which is why the laws are in place to protect the cops.
Like I said earlier in this thread and in previous cases: this is the latitude people want cops to have. It's abundantly clear.
And I'm the one with the crazy ideology?
No way!
I don't get it. It's one thing to say some cops are nuts and people should increase their odds of surviving an encounter with one by complying, but saying anyone who doesn't comply deserves what he got is just sick and twisted.

You just provided an excellent description of institutionalized racism. Good job.
