I love how people like you think you have to preemptively shoot people because you are scared and a pussy.
I’d rather be frightened and alive than fearless and dead.
Well, this neatly vindicates my earlier observation that you’re arguing that cops should shoot everyone as soon as they arrive on scene, just in case.
I’ll save the bots a click:

This “unarmed” black man disobeyed police orders. The cop had good reason to believe he was an armed terrorist; following him to empty his magzine into him was the safest course of action. And “unarmed”?? We have no way to verify that, but even if the N****r was truly unarmed the cop had no way to know that.
And BTW, N****r was probably not a racist epithet – this might be Mississippi police code for a perp from a socially inferior group of unknown skin color who may be about to disobey police orders.
It was a good clean kill. Next case.

Cute.
I don’t have enough information about what happened here, based on the one-sided account presented by the plaintiffs’ attorneys, to form an opinion yet. Honestly, the account here doesn’t make a lot of sense - the officer was in the company of a civilian female (who nobody apparently knows the name of), but he was travelling in his squad car, and engaged in “an altercation” (not law enforcement business) with a person the deceased knew, and the deceased was strangled with “a headlight tied around his head” and this all just happened to go down right in front of three of the deceased’s in-laws’ house, and he was throttled for 20 minutes, and was able to tell people he couldn’t breathe despite the fact that doing so would mean he was able to breathe?
This sounds an awful lot like the “Darren Wilson stared Michael Brown in the eyes and shot him in the face while he begged for his life” accounts that we heard this time last year, which turned out to be completely unsubstantiated by the physical evidence and the preponderance of physical accounts. When and if we hear from a party that isn’t financially motivated to smear the police, then I’ll be able to form an opinion on this matter.
Nice, taking your pathetic beliefs and attributing them to me. Let me guess - you’re rubber and I’m glue?
To be fair, at the end the police chief’s coffee probably was black.
I don’t believe that all black people can be justifiably shot on sight. You believe that police believe that all black people can be justifiably shot on sight.
I didn’t say black people. By your arguments, the cops should shoot ALL people on the scene for their own safety, and it is unthinkable to demand they act otherwise.
So you agree with my statement that the video accurately describes what you believe cops believe.
I haven’t made any statements about what cops believe, just what you believe.
While I’m sure you are making a point, describing an absurd situation, that is actually how things go down at times.
School shootings, hostage/bomb threats, there are times when mass amounts of people are being evacuated (to safety), but since the authorities don’t know who the bad people are, they hold everyone at gunpoint as they run, with their arms up.
An innocent person who doesn’t obey every command may be shot. In fact, if everyone disobeyed, they might all be shot. To protect the authorities of course.
No-one’s argued anything like that. What has been happening is that many people, including you, have argued that cops shouldn’t have the same right to self defence as anyone else. Which means being allowed to shoot and kill people who appear to be an imminent threat.
For some reason, you and the other idiots here seem to see “imminent” and understand “possible”…
Yeah, about that… At the very minimum, someone who’s not obey the cops when they’re evacuating somewhere is guilty of disrupting the police doing their job, and probably putting other people at risk of whatever they’re being evacuated from. There are times to be a dick and stand on your “rights”*, but that isn’t one of them.
*That time, of course, is in court when you sue the police - well after you’ve obeyed their orders.
Talk to your buddy Smapti. In his world, putting a hand in your pocket in the presence of a police officer justifies him killing you in self defense.
With that in mind, I’m happy to modify my earlier comment and say Smapti’s argument suggests police, upon arrival at a scene, should pre-emptively shoot everyone who has pockets. The solution is to always be naked, I guess.
If you disagree, it means you want cops to be shot in the face instead. Do you disagree?
Of course, so the best way to be safe is to shoot anyone who doesn’t obey, with out hesitation. If everybody is disobedient, kill em all, and let the courts sort it out later.
Steophan and Smapti say “imminent” when they mean “imaginable.” That is, when it is a cop and a black person involved. Then they can imagine quite a lot.
Cop saves innocent man from death sentence
Another death row exoneration. Police and prosecutor misconduct. The good cop who finally put a stop to the death freight train lost his career over it.
But it’s proof that the system works, because nobody got executed, right?
