There is no excuse for him getting shot. They had his id and vehicle. Put out a warrant and keep it moving. They were mad he got the best of them and he paid the ultimate price. A taser is not lethal weapon. I’ve seen countless videos of white subjects fighting with cops, yet they manage to take them alive.
You obviously have not read any of the other posts about the fact that a taser is considered a less lethal weapon but a weapon never the less. People have died from being tasered.
Maybe we should let you go one on one with someone comparable with his size - maybe drunk or high and see how well you do in the situation.
Do you not see white people protesting--- its about the excessive force dear- black men get pulled over for NO reason- racial profiling- and all people get shot.
So...you think white people never get pulled over for "no reason". If so, you are very wrong and misinformed.
It happened to my husband and me some years back. We had friends from out of town visiting us and we all decided to go out to dinner. So, along with our then 2 year old daughter, we all got into the car, strapped our daughter into her car seat and off we went. At the time our car was a beat up old one.
On the way back after dinner, we had to make a right turn where there was a turn lane and a "yield" sign. There were no cars coming at the time, so my husband merged onto the road. The next thing we knew, there was a very bright light shining on our car. Then we saw the blue lights flashing. My husband pulled over. We couldn't imagine why this was happening.
The cop approached our car and shined his flashlight on us all. My husband handed over his license and car registration. The cop then said we didn't stop at the yield sign and that since we lived nearby, we should have known there was a yield sign. However, the law says if no traffic is coming, no need to stop. We didn't argue with the cop and he said he was "going to let us go this time".
All I could think of was the cop was on patrol, saw our old beat up car and noticed that there were 4 people in it (couldn't see the car seat). He probably figured it was a car full of teenagers out on a school night looking for trouble, so he stopped us. Once he saw us, he realized he was wrong so he had to make up an excuse for having stopped us.
You know why you haven't seen plenty of video where cops kill white men? Because the media doesn't cover those stories - it doesn't fit the narrative.
Also because the media knows white people dont react to it, because much of them defend the police, even if the shooting wasnt justified. Look at Daniel Shaver.
I wish white people would say something more, because as much as theres a racial issue, theres still a police excessive force issue for everyone.
I guess some people (not you M) just would rather give police the leeway to kill, because they think police wont protect them if they dont.
If I was so drunk or high that I fell asleep in a drive thru waiting for food (not to mention driving intoxicated), I would expect the police to treat me like a criminal. .
What do you define as how police should treat you like a criminal? What would be their actions?

Stop making generalizations.
I'm not-- I am reporting...

Yes that is a calculated risk you take when you fight with police who are making a lawful arrest and take possession of a weapon and run
I believe police should have this right, and in this case that right was used correctly.
Uh, technically he would not have been shot if he just cooperated. You know 'technically' speaking of course.
I don't disagree, I was more playing devil's advocate trying to make the best argument possible for the rioting types.
This is pretty obviously a justifiable shooting and the rioting types only further harm their credibility trying to pretend otherwise.
