    Learn the definition of "similar circumstances"!

    What change of "goal post"? You even quote my post that used the phrase "similar circumstances!

    What's getting "tiresome" is the media's nationalizing these things when the cops take ANY action against a Black suspect, however justifiable, yet nuttin' but crickets when it comes to the appalling rate of Black on Black slaughter ( think Chicago). OR is the "media" itself racist, deeming such carnage "just something THOSE people inherently do" and not worth reporting on?

    Really really good post. At the end of the day I doubt anyone agrees that someone posing a threat with a deadly weapon shouldn't be stopped by lethal force. The left acting like this is on the white cops is simply fueling more young black men to act out against cops which, of course will result in more incidences just like this. We all agree cops that shoot anyone, unarmed and not threatening, is murder and should be treated as such. This is not the case here. The question is what's the end goal by the power brokers?

    No hearing necessary. Approaching cops with an unsheathed knife will get you shot. It can't be any other way. We can't let people attack cops without consequence.

    When black murderers are paid by the government to kill other blacks you will have a point. And why are you not concerned about white, brown, black, yellow, green people killed by police when other options are available? Police aren't paid to kill as first option. These officers actions are an insult on other officers who do their job properly

    I agree with doing that, but that does not mean that it is the right procedure to use. I have no sympathy for the victim

    Maybe you should do some research before posting about other countries.

    When you pull a weapon you end the threat.. Its that simple. I can show you time after time that police tried it your way and ended up in a coffin.

    Many in the community were looking forward to their next shopping spree, what with Christmas and Kwanza just around the corner...

    Yes they are.

    Prove that when someone attacks police with a knife they are never killed.

    Prove that when they attack police with a knife in this country they are always killed.

    There's zero logic in anything you've said so far. I'll keep going through the thread but I seriously doubt it gets any better from you.

    You're amazed at what others have posted?

    LOL...this coming from someone who actually said that they should shoot them in the leg. Your knowledge is sorely lacking when it comes to firearms.

    To defend the attacker or criticize the police here, you're essentially saying that attacking a police officer poses very little danger to you. That absolutely can not be the message that is sent and that's essentially what you're doing here.

    So what does that prove? That US cops don't kill you for jaywalking? Geez.

    US cops kill 10 to 30 times more people than cops in Western Europe, or Japan. And that's per capita.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_killings_by_law_enforcement_officers_by_country

    So police brutality in the US is comparable to police brutality in third world countries? Yeah, that's not pretty...

    Shooting that guy would have been justified *if* he tried to stab a cop.

    ...which he didn't. Video is clear proof of that.

    He's just erratically walking around like a lunatic. Just a mentally ill guy who probably wants to die.

    Total bullshit. He was coming after the police. That was very clear in the video. It's absolutely absurd to say that police should have to wait until someone attempts to stab them before they can shoot them. Which is to say you have to wait until the person with the knife is within a couple feet before you can defend yourself. Again, you have no argument here at all. Nothing you are saying can even remotely be justified.

    You're the only one here trying to justify the unjustifiable. You're literally saying that there's nothing wrong with killing someone just because they *could* be a lethal threat, without any evidence that they actually are. This is as morally bankrupt as it gets.

    Cops are supposed to stay at a safe distance so that doesn't happen, and then take him out with a non-lethal weapon. You just created a pathetic strawman trying to equate "not killing people for no reason" with being a compete idiot who takes no precautions. Nice try, but not on my watch.

    So are you proud that the US is ranked at number 10 in police brutality behind Iran, Brazil, Haiti, Kenya, Russia, Somalia, Egypt, South Africa and Pakistan?. What an honour!
    If two officers cannot hit a walking man's leg from 10 feet away after firing off 13 bullets, those officers should not be given guns

    Another fine young man taken from the community. Only a dozen or so felonies spanning several years (I posted a few, there are more). Apparently felonies no longer involve prison terms.

    Instead of prison sentences, I would recommend moving these fine young men into progressive white communities. It would be a match made in heaven.

    Can you name the countries where a certain class of people and their supporters declared war on the cops?

    Can you name the countries where a certain class of people and their supporters marched down the street chanting they wanted to see dead cops?

    Can you name the countries where a certain class of people ambush and murder the cops?

    The left has made it known that seeing dead cops pleases them, and I'm sure every cop in the country is a little nervous about the situation the left created. Itchy trigger fingers is the result of the left's open hatred of the police and violence against them.

    I have read a lot of silly and misinformed thoughts here, but that tops them all.
