How would that not be the jurors' perspective?

Bet you and many others weren't expecting that response, huh? That's because so many of you merely "emote" instead of thinking rationally.
So you got that one right. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Dude, just stop. You have numerous posts claiming that this happened after Vegas when it did not. That is fact.

Scary thought, but it's the new reality. Someone saw that young man through a window. He was handling a pellet gun. The peeper called the police. You know the rest of the story.

I cannot believe this has happened. I'm not anti-cop, but this isn't the first time I've questioned some deaths at their hands.

They are human. Of course they feel fear.


DOH!
Any person applying for a position on any police force must be psychologically evaluated. As any person with combat experience will tell you, there is nothing wrong with being afraid, it is how you act in the face of fear that counts. Far too many citizens of all races are murdered by police for no other reason than they, the police, were afraid for themselves.

These are only two examples but there are many many more. Keep in mind that no one is safe from police. It could be you next, or your wife, mother, child, etc. Being a police officer is not a license to kill.

Typical idiots hoodwinked by the edited click-bait videos. Move along. Nothing to see here other than the faux outrage of people that make a decision based on a edited video.

And? What does Vegas have to do with this? Answer is not a flipping thing. I'm a bit confused by a few things with this. They had a report of a guy pointing a scoped weapon out a window. There was a tac team on scene and two beat cops made the approach to the suspect room. Again, "by the book" the tactical team should have been up to bat, not these two clowns. Who then without any backup proceed to unravel things like a ball of string.


And again, why didn't they cuff the guy when he was in the position to do so and tell him to move from that position and crawl? What sort of mindless baboon does this sort of thing? So what then? Did they just decide to take the room themselves and not wait for SWAT to do it because they wanted to earn their hero stripes? There's more holes in this than a pasta strainer.


But it's good to know there are people out there who advocate this sort of behavior by cops. Summary execution before any facts have been established. I guess this LE trend will continue. A jury can be cherry picked to suit any given circumstance from a pool of cop apologists.

Gotta go with the boys in blue here . Who can blame them when they all live in fear because this Black Lives Matter anti-American crap is seeping through to these rotten young punks? Should have shot him 6 times.

It’s just fine to sit around and argue semantics of police procedure and boot-liking the thin blue line on a forum.
When I was a kid we were driving and my dad came across a cop fighting with a driver he had pulled over. My dad stopped the car and told us to stay in it and went to help the cop subdue the guy.
If I come across that now with my family in the car, I drive on by. I am a 50 year old white male and I don’t trust cops.
I won’t be shot or have my family in the line of fire from one of them. Actions have consequences as righties like to say.
