And this is why arming everyone is an idea that won’t work.

Sorry, but you will have to answer the following question for many of the posters here - How many of them were illegal immigrants?

Ugh, that is not good. Prayers to the man's family. A good person trying to do a good deed was shot and killed by police officers.

Curious to see what comes of this once the official investigation is completed.

- A black person commits crime, all blacks are bad.
- A Muslim blows up a store, all Muslim must be banned.
- A legal gun owner had an accident, all guns must be banned.

I don't see this playing well for the department.

Playing the Devils advocate the article states police ordered him to stop and not reach for the gun.

Same thing happened with Castile. He was ordered to stop moving.

So which will it be.
Argument 1. Police need training reform.
Argument 2. Only police should be armed.
Argument 3. Obey police commands and you won't get shot.
Or
Argument 4. Dude had no right to intervene in a fist fight and chose poorly in holster selection and for intervening in a fight that posed no threat to his well being.

Argument 5. All of the above let's watch everyone flip out.

And yet the statement "police shoot and kill a man trying to break up a fight" is still a factual one.

Never said is was not...what's your point? 1 guy trying to break up fight, gun falls out, cops are there and he tries to pick up the gun....do you think the cops said anything? Do the cops know he was trying to break up the fight? Was he part of the fight..now introduce a gun...130am....in front of a bar, but I bet they were all clean a sober, yes?

Leftism is a mental disease!
Funny. Most people would attribute this irrational nonsense to the right - certainly not the left.

Why are people on the right trying so hard these days to push all their sins off on the left? Nobody believes it.

I'd argue he'd still be alive if he didn't try to intervene in a fight...
Unless he was hired by the bar as security... he had no business breaking up a fight. Unless a significant advantage was had or got carried away.

I'd also argue poor choice in holster.
I'd also argue if dude listened to police he'd not have been shot.
I'd also argue police are quick to shoot.

A case of when A-Holes collide.
