    In the video, I can't tell if that's a gun or a shoe on the ground.

    So . . . any bets on how many more Dem Party controlled cities enraged radical leftists will put to the torch? They must be running low on them at this point . . . Dem Party controlled cities; that is, not torch supplies.

    The black mark on the ground in front of the door? It doesn't move and no one is paying it any attention before or after the shooting. What makes you think it looks like a gun?

    Another statistical Anomaly that will be used as justification for more violence by thugs and supported by so many idiot politicians.

    I don't know what it is, so I'm asking. If it is a gun, then maybe that's why the cops shot him.

    It's a tough time to be a cop. Many people, especially blacks, are openly hostile towards them and have even called for their deaths. The cops know this and they can also see what's happening around the country. So the police are wary for their safety and if they let the perp make the first move it could cost them their lives. If they make the left ruins them.

    It's been said before, but if you want to eliminate the alleged racism in police shootings, then put black cops in black neighborhoods, white cops in white neighborhoods, and so on.

    Edit: I just watched the video again and the object was there before the guy opened the car door. My mistake.

    Why is it that these perps never seem to be able to comply with police instructions?

    As for the shoot, he was fleeing at best, or reaching for a weapon at worst.

    Interesting that he's still alive.

    The BLM group is shooting itself in the foot so to speak. Really they have squandered the sympathy that they gained by not knowing when to shut the forinicating up.

    He was not responding to commands and reaching into a car.

    Kenosha is responding to the rioting rather ineffectively.

    It’s shocking so many are only now seeing the monster behind the mask in blm. It’s been quite obvious since the start.

    No. This looks very bad and to attempt that sort of brush off is way too dismissive.

    I guess he may have been lunging for a weapon on the driver's side. Who knows, but at face value, blatant murder by Cop. Seven shots into his back at a range of about one yard, at most. Jayzuz!

    this police department should deputize patriots and military veterans.

    they are under funded and not getting federal help.

    Yes. Nope and nope.

    More blatant distraction from the massive Democrat Lockdown unrest.

    Who knows. Nonsense. Monday morning quarterbacking. Kee-rist!

    Once again, non compliance with police orders. That is why this guy is dead. Who knows what was in the car? It would have taken a split second for him to grab a gun and fire on the officers.

    I think if the comments in this thread tell us anything, it is that there is an expectation in the US for the police to use lethal force when individuals do not obey orders. The culture of America doesn't see police officers as government employees whose job is to serve and protect the public, and to deescalate the situations they are called into, but instead the American culture sees the police as government employees who you are expected to obey or suffer the consequences. The consequences being full lethal force (although it does seem that this particular individual will survive

    It's an authoritarian standard, the justification for lethal force shouldn't be a matter of whether or not the individual was complying to authority, it should be a matter of whether or not lethal force was used as a means of preventing an innocent person from being harmed. For this particular incident I'm going to hold off on giving any further opinion until I hear more information for why this individual was perceived as a threat by police. It seems the police were called in relation to a domestic incident, though it is unclear what exactly that incident was, or if the individual who was shot was involved in said incident

    Will be waiting for more information to come out before commenting further
