    We don't have enough facts yet to even know why he was shot. I'm sure he was just resisting arrest and trying to reach into his car to provide his proof of insurance.

    Let's see what unfolds.

    You would think that 2 days later the police could come up with some explanations if they felt it was justified.

    It's a small town that has now been burned to the ground with daily riots and violence. They've probably been a bit busy.

    Too busy to release dash and body cams, and provide a minimal bit of info?

    There were many many posts supporting it.
    But the mods deleted all things pertaining to race in this thread.
    Did you not read the post you just responded to?

    Good for the Dem governor. He's one of the smarter Democrats that realizes that DefundThePolice and endless riots aren't political winners.

    That should change Pronto. One thing that Biden is pushing is mandated body cams I think. Don't know who would argue against that at this point.

    Apparently, Kenosha thought they were too expensive.

    The settlement will cost much more, and the city doesn't have any bodycam footage to help the cop's narrative.

    How does the federal government have the authority to mandate state law enforcement officers wear body cams?
    You don't see how that could be argued with?

    But, but but we have to Defund the Police. No money for body cams before - CERTAINLY no money for body cams after you defund them.

    Unless you want autonomous Google drones to do the policing, and just fire all the people.

    I supported the shooting, so no need to talk about the knife, and resisting arrest, and reaching into the car, as I agree with all of that. The guy got what he deserved. He's lucky to be alive.

    All I am saying, and perhaps I should retract the word "atrocious", is that the method by which it was done, did not pass the "eye test". I say it like that as I fully admit, I have never been through police training. But it seemed odd to shoot someone while holding their shirt with your other hand. That seems dangerous to yourself as the officer, or innocent bystanders, as gun control is a potential issue. I get it, heat of the moment, split second decision had to be made, but I would suspect that somewhere along the line there, a procedure was not followed.

    But again, I fully support the shoot as I mentioned. I always believe cops have the right to go home alive. That situation was escalating quickly, and all the perp had to do was stop walking and put the knife down. Now that he is paralyzed waist down, I hope he thinks it was worth it.

    The federal government can make body cams a condition of federal funding, but that's not a mandate.

    Yes, let's implement MORE forced socialism.

    Brilliant. Why not just do away with states' rights altogether?

    Maybe there's no compelling legal reason to have body cameras.

    The video I saw yesterday the guy was walking away not even running. So noncompliance can be argued. Question does being non compliant but not obviously violent warrant a potential death penalty?

    The other video showed him fighting with cops. And he didn't die. So we don't know that the cop intended to even kill him.

    But I'm sure you're right. He resisted arrest and fought off two police officers to he could walk around and provide his proof of insurance.
