Actually if they would have rushed him a guy that size is a handful and during the scuffle it's possible he could grab one of the officers guns and then it could really be bad.
Your reply is part of the problem. The guy was stranded on the side of the road, the officers could have tried talking to him over a loudspeaker if they were so afraid,and you assume he would have been violent if they approached him. Stereotyping at it's finest is your response smh.
Gee, how many times did this happen? Talking herself out of getting a speeding ticket would be the most possible scenario. Let's not be drama queens. Rape? gee. Maybe happen once in a blue moon. But let's not pretend this happens all the time. sheesh
It's happened more times than it should have. We have discussed 3-4 cases here.
My post was a wee bit sarcastic but would you disagree with me that one time is one too many?
This would have never happened to a white female. She may have been raped on the side of the road but not killed.
Would it have happened to a White male who behaved the same way? Good possibility that it would have. Do you or I perceive a threat from a 5'2 110 pound female that we might from a 6'3 240 pound male? I don't and that might be a fatal mistake, but it is what it is. We can play the what if game or the would have game all day and never agree.
The best thing is to comply with the police and let the lawyers figure it out. I personally believe that there are far too many cop related shootings. I think that there always were. The game changer is all the cell phones out there catching it.
I think most cops are good people trying to do the right thing. You have a percentage of bad cops. Those bad cops make all cops look bad. I would like a division of the FBI to be tasked with investigating every cop related shootings. I neutral party...
I agree with many that cop related shootings and crimes committed by cops are not treated the same way or with equal zeal as cops investigating a civilian for the same crime. That needs to change if we are going to restore our faith in the police.

If there is a police officer that can't fulfill his or her duties with a taser, then they shouldn't be police officers.
Yes because in the event they're shot at from 50 feet away, a taser is going to get the job done!
You're an ingoranus!
