If a criminal is fleeing and reaching into his pocket or wherever, how is a cop supposed to make a split second judgement and know that criminal isn't reaching for a gun? None of the arguments you make are valid unless you can tell me how a cop is supposed to know if a person is unarmed. Again, this isn't Ireland. The vast majority of our criminals are armed. 

It doesn't matter about the nationality of the prominent figures in the American justice system. They lived here and experienced what being a police officer is all about. You don't.

As for the potato comment, that was low hanging fruit. I'll change that to heads of cabbage.

Theres been two high profile killings in the last month where the subject was unarmed and executed by police. Ones where they knew they were unarmed so your thought process does not follow. Their job is not to kill anyone who may escape unarmed or go against arrest. 

I said it was funny you'd bring it up without knowing the history.
