    I really hate to say it because it is a sad situation, but too many times the cops themselves are the dregs of society. Bummer, all the way.

    I'm sure this was a honor role student doing the lord's work and this mean old cop just walks up to him and starts shooting.

    A drive-by shooting where a dozen shots were fired sounds like a threat to me

    Yes, but as long as you do not know which human fired the shots, then it is insane to murder whoever you feel like murdering while they pose no threat.

    The cops did not murder him

    They reacted in self defense

    Running from police in a crime area where you might be a suspect is not advisable if he kept his hands where he could be seen, walked up and complied to inquiry he might not have been shot. The court ruled it not criminal therefore justice was served after looking at all the evidence its true they favor police but the police are part of the club one rule for the justice system and one for everyone else.

    I'm sure he is completely aware. If you check out his response to my post it appears he's perfectly fine with a cop killing a White guy who is trying his best to follow orders and is no threat, but when It's a Black, if he doesn't have a loaded gun pointed at the cops head then it's an execution.

    You are very deceitful here and so is @Bondo for coSigning your dishonest post.

    And you need to quit comparing apples to oranges.

    Which is why I claimed what I claimed about the white guy crawling in the hallway and not following orders ---but he still did not pose a lethal-threat.

    Yes sir your situation features a unique, once in a lifetime, needle in a haystack scenario of a druggy/drunk disobedient White guy crawling down a hallway of an upscale hotel, toward tyrannical cops. Whereas this thread features a popular scenario, over decades, where unarmed Black males jump out of a car then run from cops because they know White cops are too slow to keep up.

    Ultimately, the hotel hallway shooting was technically justified by the letter of the law. I'll give you that. However, Shavier was following orders (to the best of his ability) up until he reached behind his back. So I would not he he refused to follow orders. This shooting that the thread is talking about is a lot more clearer. Cop is called to a drive by shooting. Cop sees car matching description, including bullet holes. Cop, having probable cause that the occupants of the car already show'd a propensity to violence, initiated a felony stop. Occupants fled from car. Fearing that his life, the lives of his fellow officers, and the lives of the public, he shot the fleeing suspects. There were two guns found in the car and an empty 9mm magazine on one of the suspects shot.
    Again, you're ignoring the statistical fact that more whites are killed by cops than blacks.

    Again you beg for my attention so I can read you apologize for being, Black, by telling the story in a way which deceitfully protects racism's cop.

    There's another White cop, this time in Tempe AZ, who just shot an unarmed 14yr old in the back under these same circumstances/cop knew he couldn't catch him if he ran after him. So you might want to track that story down/see if you can figure out a way to fight to protect cop's Racism.

    I'd hardly say the US has insane levels of street violence. Its tied with the second lowest murder rate in North and South America put together.

    It really only compares poorly with Western Europe and a tiny amount of other places.

    Really? The US police shoot fewer people, including African Americans than ever. African Americans however shoot one another in ever greater numbers.

    Who murdered anyone? This was a brave police officer risking his life to capture 2 armed and dangerous criminals who've just carried out an attempted murder. It says something that there was little trouble after this, the African American community accepting the righteousness of the verdict.

    Tell us the case and we'll rip it apart too. Give it up, the US police aren't racist, African Americans are just more involved in violent crime. .

    Whipping up on innocent people is not really protecting society, nor is it serving society.

    Thats actually an irrelevant point. Thats why you apprehend someone and put them on trial. You are innocent until proven guilty in this country.

    Lethal force needs to be reserved for an immediate threat to someone's life. Not being too fat to catch someone.

    Your statement, that it was somehow justified cause of the alleged crime that just took place, is authorizing the police to be judge, jury and executioner for all of us.

    Is that really what you want?

    The average day of police is mostly hasseling people who haven't done anything of note.
