    It would have been dereliction of duty to not shoot this fleeing from a crime scene perp.

    Exactly. But it was all really just about "race".

    That's their MO, because in their minds they have to justify this officer killing an unarmed 17yr old.

    IT IS NOT LAWFUL TO EXECUTE A FLEEING SUSPECT.

    There is nothing else to discuss. All of your backhanded justifications are worthless ****.

    So please explain why one person was shot and killed, one person got away and the driver who knows both people was released after they found 2 guns in the car and it was just used to commit a felon according to you.

    Oh...so, if I murder you and am escaping, they have to let me go, and cannot use deadly force, if they cannot catch me....in your Madeup World?

    Your grasp of what is ILLEGAL is tenuous, at best.

    I'm sure we will find out.

    So , your assertion is that the police pulled over the WRONG VEHICLE?

    Really? :roflol:

    I already did scroll back.
    Post the regulation that says the police must allow a suspected criminal who just engaged in a shootout on a public street shooting another person in an attempted murder to escape because he can run faster.

    Hindsite does not matter here. It is only what the officers believed at the time.

    You post the regulation that says a cop can shoot an unarmed teenager in the back.

    I really don't care. Do you?

    Don't get involved in drive-bys and you won't get shot by the cops.

    I would say well let's see, but we already know this officer will ride off in the sunset with a medal pinned on his chest. All they will do is stack the jury with Trump Humpers and ot's a rap.

    It’s better than having no grasp at all.

    The police are not meant to ever be judge jury and executioner. At the time, they had nothing but suspicions that these three men had perpetrated a shooting. They were still innocent in the eyes of the law. Allowing police to execute people based on suspicion would be a death blow to this country.

    This situation where police gun down unarmed fleeing suspects has GOT to be stopped. These people are dying for the crime of running away. They’ve been convicted of nothing, an investigation hasn’t even begun and this guy is dead.

    The possibility that he might have posed a danger to someone else is not good enough. Everyone might be a danger to others.

    And yeah, I’m going to say it because it’s worth mentioning. According to FBI statistics based upon info gathered from police departments around the nation, blacks make up almost half of all unarmed police shooting victims while being only 13 percent of the population. I’m not going to say it’s racism, but it’s something. Something is wrong here be it in the training or the method in dealing with suspects or whatever. It just can’t continue and so far not one single step has been made to analyze how to fix it because people like you stubbornly insist that every time the police murder someone it was justified.

    No, it is absolutely not lawful.

    This police officer should be sent to prison for murder because that’s what he did.

    The had far more than suspicions; they had SIGNIFICANT PROOF...or do you seriously contend that the SHOT OUT WINDOW and guns "don't count"?


    They are required to protect the rest of us from threats to us. Rose absolutely represented a THREAT to the law abiding, based on the GLARINGLY INCRIMINATING CIRCUMSTANCES...which are all the police had to go on...they had no idea if he was armed; they DID KNOW that they pulled him over in a car matching the description of a vehicle used in an ATTEMPTED MURDER SHOOTING, with its REAR WINDOW SHOT OUT, and GUNS on the FLOORBOARD...from which he was fleeing.

    The police had no idea if he was armed, or not, but the EVIDENCE KNOWN AT THE TIME, made it likely he was.

    Regardless....are you seriously trying to claim that the police pulled over the WRONG silver Chevy Cruz ?

    On the contrary, there are some amazing men who happen to be black.

    I bet if you went into Chicago and asked them who Thomas Sowell was, 99% of them would have no idea who he was though.

    They all know who Tupac is though out of the womb.

    The simple fact of this case is, ROSE WAS NOT THE "POOR INNOCENT CHILD" the Race Baiters falsely claimed.

    My point is that if you want to decry INNOCENT PEOPLE being shot by the police, I AM ALL FOR IT.

    JUST FIND ONE THAT IS ACTUALLY INNOCENT , FIRST.


    Then mount the campaign.

    And PS- for You Know Who You Are; EVERYTHING IS NOT ABOUT RACE.
