Quote:That section of law was on the use of force.  The perp was resisting .  I am not a lawyer.  Either the video is clear or it is not?  the video has gray areas we do not know.  From the angles given we do not see a gun, we only hear about one.  Then after the fact we see it.  


I don't have any proof they knew he was felon.  However the first call they got was a large man with a gun was threatening a person.  When thats how you are described a situation thats how you deal with it.  You are dealing with a large person with a gun threatening people.


I see more suicide by cop than I see murder.  The man had numerous opportunities to go down quietly for the arrest.

 

 

Quote:The burden generally is that a reasonable person would perceive a threat of death or severe physical injury. In this case reaching for a gun is a reasonable threat.

 

So if I'm reading this right, smh, I'm suppose to let a police officer arrest me, book me, and then pay, i mean, fight for my rights for doing no wrong just because someone in the area said a black man was threatening people.  In that case then police should just stay in mostly black areas and just wait for a reason to start harassing African Americans, OH WAIT.

 

I'm just speechless with human beings right now.  Again it shows the problem is deeper than Old School racism, because the new school just says do what the police say no matter what.  Even though, its the minorities and the city's last thought about neighborhoods that take much of the fall.  Just shows that if it isn't an immediate threat to them or anyone they give a d--- about then OH WELL.  Just listen to what they say and it'll be ok, lmbo, like the Justice System isn't/hasn't been screwing us over for years whether we get a chance to fight in court or not; but i guess as long as the violence slows down then back to normal life's business as usual. 

 

Either way, as African Americans were screwed.  It's always been in the Justice System and now they just kill us for whatever at random and even during times where white people have done far more life threatening things with weapons included and gotten vip treatment before arrest.  What? they stop getting caught or recorded and then its back to waiting to see how the courts will try and ... Point is, the Justice system hasn't been taking a massive turn for the better for African Americans and now even in Death its a HUGE lack of concern to make an immediate change just excuses.  Its crazy because even though its a Proven Fact that we get more time for the same exact crimes, people have been saying for decades that we should just not get arrested and we wont have to worry about it instead of trying to make a change.  Why think it's going to be any different even if we are being slaughtered on camera because we dont just lay down.  Mind you we aren't fighting and attacking police before they shoot in these videos but we "Sort of" deserved it when a white man can pull out a loaded weapon and not even get touched.  Just let black police start killing unarmed whites on camera and see how many excuses are made for that.  That'll really be the day. SMH, its no longer verbal racism, its just people being disgusting and showing the true worth of their own being and smiling in your face like oh well, same thing if you die too and didn't listen.  I"m on the verge of why shouldn't they just shoot first if the end result will be he didn't listen so i shot him 5 times to kill him then got the gun for him.
