Because law enforcement needs to show a life was in danger before shooting. That is what a civilized society does.

Very well may have been. And that doesn't matter either. Not that you are saying it does matter.

Yes and no.
If people cooperate with police you are right.
If they are on drugs, are criminals or ignorant all bets are off if they present themselves as making moves that could be mistaken as reaching for a weapon or point things at cops.

Wait for details. But regardless if it was a guy blowing away people with a tommy gun or a nun dropping off toys to an orphanage if the person is black the reaction is still complete outrage.

This is the larger problem.

BS, that is what blacks are being told by their agitators. Whites far more often die due to police.

Naw, civilized societies take out gun wielding criminals. If the guy wasn't running from police and wielding a gun he would be alive today. Darwinism at it's finest.

Maybe if hoodlums weren't murdering cops across the country there wouldn't so much trigger happy cops these days.

Lawlessness is out of control and then to have the cops blamed for protecting people from thugs? THIS is the problem.

They act like animals, expect to be called animals.

Where's the fun in that?
Besides, it doesn't matter whether a police shooting is 100% justified, any excuse for a riot.

And CNN, BSNBC and the NY Times will be sure to get her message out.
