Quote:I'm more questioning that about people defending the murderers, honestly. The cop removed a gun from his pocket. <i>From his pocket</i>. He was not brandishing a weapon. He was murdered in cold blood.

 

He was a rather large man.

 

After refusing to follow simple instructions from a law enforcement officer, he was hit with a stun gun.  After that had no effect, the officers involved tackled and tried to restrain him.  Is it possible that they couldn't hold his hand from going for his weapon?

 

Hypothetical, but what would have happened had he been able to reach into his pocket, draw the gun and fire it?  What if the bullet hits an innocent bystander?  Would that innocent bystander being injured or killed be justified?
