I said he should have had a police dog chow down on his genitals and then have the officers nightsticks do a number on his empty noggin. He was a stupid POS, stealing from his neighbors cars, a real zero and a punk not even tough enough to be called a thug ( he liked his manicures and pedicures).
That still doesn't mean that he should have been shot down like he was by two trigger happy cops. But stop the moronic racism BS over this. They shot him in the dark, one of the cops who emptied his gun was black.
Ya, that young adult, must have been in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Nothing good happens after dark.
His brother pretty much depicted the culture they were raised in.
Very primal and certainly tribal.
Makes the case that a very small % of only 13% of the total population commit 53% of all murders in the USA and amount for 69% of all violent crime, and 72% of all theft and robberies.
It is the culture expressed by the deceased's brother, that has caused this shoot first ask questions later, when it is a black American involved in a crime.
Cruz and Roof were known to be armed and dangerous, had just murdered multiple people and authorities knew these were the assailants. Stephon Clark was a person of interest in a crime that doesn't even come close to what Cruz or Roof did.
The cops could somehow refrain themselves from shooting two known armed people who killed almost 30 people combined.
It seems to be you two that don't understand.
You don't see a difference between someone who is sitting in a burger king that puts their hands in the air when ordered, or in a church in daylight that raises hands above head and comes out vs someone in the dark, that runs, then turns and faces you with one hand outstretched towards the cops while holding a metal object that could be a gun?
Florida thug, complied when confronted by a police officer.
You must have missed the part where I posted about bad shoots earlier in the thread. Watch the whole helicopter video. He wasn't just hanging out in the backyard.
I have had police come up on me in the dark (being somewhere I shouldn't have been at that hour) and when he announced himself, I froze and put my hands where he could see them. I didn't run. I didn't advance on him. I complied. I lived.
The lack of first aid in these cases troubles me. I suspect it has something to do with them being the shooter and police policy of the crime scene.
Troubles you, huh. What about them cutting off their audio?
Not suspicious, at all.

All caps doesn't make your point any less...of a point. FYI.

How did that work out for Charles Kinsey? Google that and get back to me.
Family said he was suffering from depression after his two young children were drowned by their mother.

Family members told the Chronicle that Thomas had suffered from depression. His two young children, they said, had died in 2016 after allegedly being drowned by their mother, who has been charged with murder and is awaiting trial.
This was a mentally ill man who probably wasn't even aware of what he was doing. His pants were down, obviously unarm...oh wait.
On Sunday night, a Sacramento, California resident called 911 to report a man vandalizing homes and smashing in windows. He went outside to find his truck window smashed in. Police responded with helicopter surveillance that spotted the man, Stephon Clark, in the act of breaking windows and fleeing to a backyard.
Ground patrol followed him into the backyard and found him holding an unknown object. One officer believed it to be a weapon yelling "GUN!" and 20 shots were fired, killing Stephon Clark who had recently been released from jail and had a criminal record.
Since the man was black, the Black Lives Matters collective went into action springing mass protests. The criminal did not have a gun, and the officers made an unfortunate mistake. However, completely absent from this outrage in San Antonio was the fact that this individual was out victimizing the neighborhood and running away from police.
Were the BLM thugs protesting (a) the guy's smashing windows in homes and cars?
Or were they protesting (b) his disobeying clear police instructions at the scene of a crime, giving police probable cause for thinking he had a gun and was assaulting them, with split seconds for them to make a decision on how to respond?
Or were they protesting (c) the police's split-second response in the face of a credible lethal threat against them?
The first two scenarios were clearly the ones more deserving of protests, by BLM or anyone else.
Which one did BLM choose to protest?
