Outrage grows over police killing of Stephon Clark in Sacramento: '20 shots over a cellphone'

Why would they be taught to if there was no need to.

 

fo

for the same reason you teach your kids not play with matches and gasoline.

 

Before they got to that point.

 

Right, but I have never heard of matches and gasoline brutality against black folks.

 

At no time did they tell him to drop what he had in his hand.

 

The same folks always try to justify these killings. Before the Rodney King video it was almost impossible to show where the police unjustly killed a black man, but now there is video and all they do is stack the juries with racist and bigots and they still get away with it.

 

That's not exactly what happened. We both know this.

 

First of all I'm not your buddy. Secondly he wasn't executed. Thirdly, he exhibited grossly abnormal and threatening behavior. Lastly you don't know the cop or his record.
If you would have caught this guy in your house, would you have had a prayer meeting with him?

 

I stand corrected it was "show me you hands" as the ran up the driveway chasing him before he got to the backyard.

"Shaky body cam footage shows officers running up a dark driveway with flashlights. "Hey! Show me your hands! Stop! Stop!" an officer yells. As the patrolmen run into a backyard, they turn a corner and spot Clark in the glare of their flashlights. The officers take temporary cover behind the corner and then confront the suspect once more. This time, an officer yells at Clark to show his hands, then begins shouting, "Gun, gun, gun!" Gunfire then erupts."

Please stop making excuses for murder

 

The folks who wait for the facts before they make statements of facts about the guilt of the officers involved. How many times have you gotten burned by not waiting for the evidence to unfold? Oh and then when it is proven you were wrong you always blame it on the jury being racist and bigoted.

 

Murder exactly how?

 

An unarmed black man gets gunned down but someone shooting up a school is politely escorted out in handcuffs explain that...

 

Cruz did as he was ordered. It's really pretty simple, except to a liberal.

 

"Hey! Show me your hands! Stop! Stop!"

^^^ Lawful order.. If you have an issue with a lawful order follow it and sue them later.

 

He was in the dark and holding an object the size of a gun. Response time is limited and a lot of cops are paying with their lives for being too slow these days.

 

So why are you making up what the police said.

None.

When has it ever been proven.

 

Really can you name a few.

 

Please, you know it happens. A question to you. Is there EVER a reason for a African American to be shot? Wait, I already know the answer.

 

"Son, don't piss off people who carry guns on their hips for a living" -- Dad.

 

The answer to your question is the same as the answer to my question. It's irrelevant.

Can I shoot you, if you broke into my house and I caught you, and you were fleeing through my front yard, and had a cell phone in your hand?

Irrelevant. They have to know he IS armed, in order to use lethal force. Just like civilians do.

 

no it doesn't. I can't shoot you if you are unarmed and over 30ft away from me. If you break into my home, that is a different issue, and depends if your state has Castle Doctrine.

 

Well you shouldn't have a problem posting it.

Sure there is.

 

In my state, you can shoot if you think the perp represented a threat, especially if he/she remains on your property. If its at night case closed.

 

Great. That isn't what happened here. This perp was on his own property, and was over 30 ft away from the officers and unarmed. He was in no way a threat to them.
