I honestly can’t believe how you guys are treating human life. Where is your sense of empathy at all? This isn’t about repub vs dem. This is human to human , American to American. 

I don’t want cops killing black people because they are suspicious or scared of something. That shouldn’t be a controversial view. 

Cops have a lot of power therefore they have a responsibility to diffuse situation. 

I like cops, I like the idea of law enforcement, I don’t like the idea that a cop can kill an innocent human being. Why does this spark outrage within you all?

WOW.

The suspect is a felon with a long rap sheet that includes an active arrest warrant for felony crimes.  I call that suspect a "thug" regardless of race or skin color.

99% of the time when a police officer chooses to shoot a suspect it's for a good reason.  It doesn't matter the skin color or race of the suspect.  In this case from what is known, it appears that the officer made the correct choice.

Police officers have the responsibility to uphold and enforce the law.  Nothing more, nothing less.

In this case the police officers didn't kill anybody and the suspect was certainly (in my opinion) not an "innocent human being".  Before Mikesez chimes in, yes technically the suspect is innocent until proven guilty.  However, the few facts that are known about this case seem to point to the suspect being "not so innocent".
