This isn’t a military state, you can’t just kill civilians on the suspicion he was going to grab a gun. Killing based on conjecture is the stupidest thing I’ve heard of.

Reasonable threat to life or great bodily injury.  That's not conjecture.  Try again.

If two people are fighting hand-to-hand, or within arm's reach of each other, and there is an exposed, unlocked gun in play, something has gone very wrong, tactically speaking. Cops need to be trained to expect chasing and tackling and punching as part of the job.

The cops tased him and he didn't stop. The cops have no good option. Cops used to tackle and take criminals down and then liberals started complaining that it was police brutality to punch the criminal to get them to stop trying to escape. Then tasers were finally used, but criminals were getting shocked and that really has been removed as an option for the most part. Now the cops have to ask nicely and hope you comply, if you don't they have a choice to make. They either put their hands on the criminal and risk their jobs or wait until the criminal makes themselves a threat.

I would prefer the cops beat the criminal, but I also didn't see a problem with most of the instances where cops hit a suspect until they stopped fighting. You can't take the non-lethal options away from cops and not expect them to rely on their gun more.

Right before Blake gets to the drivers side door, the closest officer does look like he's trying to grab Blake.
But that officer already had his gun drawn before he closed.  Tactically that's stupid. A wrestling match where one party already has a gun out pretty much has to end in shots. 

Was any attempt made to tackle him before he starts to walk around his car?

When will these idiots if ever realize that you cannot effectively protest crimes against people by COMMITTING crimes against other people?
Edit- lake me be clear that I do not believe that this shooting was a crime against any person.

So easy to Monday morning QB the tactics used against a criminal resisting police arrest from your living room chair while trying to avoid getting Cheeto dust in the keyboard.

I did.  Do the officers touch him, or try to tackle him before he's next to the car?  I've seen what happens once he's next to the car enough times now.

Why bother? He didn't watch the video, then asked for a time stamp so he can do as little work as possible. He's such a disingenuous poster.

He'll go watch the time stamp, then come back with some song and dance about how they didn't actually tackle him or he wouldn't be able to get up and walk to his car. Or he'll get into a semantics argument about the definition of tackle.

Thanks for letting me know. I see it now.
It's either two or three cops, struggling on the ground with the one suspect.
That suspect should have never gotten up without handcuffs on.
then after he gets up, he just casually walks by an officer who has his gun drawn, that officer doesn't do anything.
If the cops had done their job right, he would still be alive.

So it’s the police officers fault that he did not simply comply. Got it.

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.
