Clearly in the infrared helicopter video you can see bullets ricochet off the concrete missing its target.
The only thing I have heard is he was hit "several times". If the autopsy report is not made public the people in that community should demand it.

I don’t care what color/race the perp was. If you’re out there breaking into and vandalizing homes/vehicles, dont expect sympathy from me if you get shot/killed in the process.

The police receive a call that there's a young man vandalizing houses in a neighborhood. They roll up on your house, where your son who matches the description is not vandalizing anything but rather doing work on the front windows. His tool looks like a gun, so the police shoot him 5 times in the back to be safe.

To the people on this forum who think the police are justified in shooting criminals, this is a job well done, a worthy sacrifice to cut down on crime .

There is a difference between your scenario and the one that actually occurred. The situation that is being discussed, the individual who was shot did not have his back to the police, was ordered to show his hands, and failed to comply but rather advanced upon the police.

However, that does not mean police are above suspicion and doubt. We should review each shooting and remove officers from duty who are poor decision makers.


Two cases where the police failed completely and should at the very least be barred from being officers of the law.

What white people are sick of doesn’t interest me in the least. So what?

Minorities have been sick of this or that for decades. Welcome to the “Sick Of” club. Have fun.

Nope. I’ve never said that. I don’t plea bargain or ask for understanding.

And if I did have something negative to say about the BLM, I’d never tell YOU or anyone else on this forum.
