Sorry there is no stop the second time..."show us your hands" which he did and likely got him shot as they saw the cellphone in his hands..

He was told to stop. Why didn't he stop? Police confronted Clark in the driveway, and he ran to the back yard. He made a big mistake by running away and disobeying police orders. Clark knew it was dark, he knew that police could mistake something in his hand as a gun. He made bad choices, and police reacted according to their training.

If he had his hands in the air, police would not have shot him. They shot because they believed he would shoot. He wouldn't be able to shoot if his hands were in the air.

Given that one of the cops was black and race wasn't an issue, give those playing the race card a Darwin award as well.
I think a K9 could have handled this pretty well. Clark might have gotten a few bites but he'd be alive.

There weren't. BLM doesn't care about white victims and white people are too busy bootlicking cops.

It would’ve been a shame had the k9 Officer been shot by a possible weapon the fleeing, non-compliant criminal may have had. Not worth the risk imo

The other question is why was he running from the cops if he was so innocent?

You know what's really relevant? The fact that some cop yelled 'mute' after they killed the guy and they all cut the volume on their body cams...probably to come up with the narrative you seem to have memorized.

How could he have memorized a narrative that hasn’t been brought forth yet? Or maybe i’ve Missed the news and the narrative has been brought forth?

The body cameras are for investigative purposes, not to record conversations between officers when they are not interacting with suspects. Everything that needed to be recorded for legal purposes was recorded.

That is of course nonsense. The police officers are fully aware their conduct can be interpreted as criminal...so they are in fact concealing information about a potential felony. As soon as they saw the cell phone the new there was trouble.
