3) Who is more likely to get shot to death when offering non-deadly force?
There is no such thing as non-deadly force when you are out on the street. That's totally bogus.

Police officers have tasers and batons. There are non-lethal ways to deal with a person who isn't shooting or wielding a knife. If a suspect is swinging at you, you can take a baton and beat the suspect. You can use a taser. If shooting is necessary, you shoot said person in the leg, not the head or heart. I've seen videos where persons have gotten into fisticuffs with police and were taken into custody without a shot being fired.

Movie scenes are not real life. Aim at center mass until the threat is gone.

You continue to show you are out of touch with reality and thus your arguments are not credible.
You never shoot to wound, you shoot to kill. Shooting to wound will get you killed and is unheard of.

You ought to join the Police volunteer group and go do some ride alongs with some actual cops.
Your entire philosophy would change.

Idiots shouldn't waste time protesting this case when there are real cases of police going off the rails and murdering civilians. Black and white.
No this is about Walter Scott being shot in the back after running from a cop after a traffic stop, or the boy that was shot 20 times in Chicago, or the man that was shot on the ground after he surrendered in Oklahoma.


The example you quoted didn't require deadly force.

So, being conservative makes you assume guilt until innocence is proven?

I guess we'll see conservatives voting to remove Trump from office. eh?

I know people who are police officers, so I will ask them what is going on. I'll take the word of a police officer before I take your word.

I'm not talking about movie scenes, I'm talking about real life videos.

Antifa might now, but BLM still would. And by the way, 5 days, not 6 days, consists of a work week. You do get weekends off.

Something else. Working isn't going to stop people from protesting. If someone works 5 days a week. they have their days off to go out and protest. And some people likely lost their jobs thanks to certain political activities. The only way protests are going to stop is if the right to protest is taken away, and even then it won't work.

The reason OJ Simpson got off was because he could afford the kind of legal defense that wealthy white people can afford.

The kind of defense that Robert Blake could afford to get him off after he killed his wife.
