It would have if the cop hadn’t shot the good guy with a gun. Given that 16 million people in the US have carry permits (and that doesn’t include many in 13 constitutional carry states that don’t need their state’s permission to carry), police shouldn’t automatically assume someone with a gun is a criminal, let alone a threat. How about taking cover and asking questions before opening fire?
Do the “others” think this based on any evidence, or is it just the assumption that the cops are always wrong? As in “just because he murdered one cop is no reason to believe he would threaten another”.

…Who the fuck picks up a fucking lawnmower blade when faced with armed cops?
Wasn’t that post that you are responding to nearly a month ago?
You saw that there were new posts, you came in here to defend cops shooting.
Why are you picking on a post from so long ago, when you can defend the cop in the more recent post?
I’d love for you to explain what the security guard did wrong to justify his death.
There was a black guy with a gun. The cops were so afraid, because they have the most dangerous job in the world, that they just HAD to shoot him. To protect us.
…
Someone hiding in a fucking shed.
The cops are blaming the security guard for his own shooting.
I guess all the eyewitnesses got it wrong. Every single one of them.
Four black teenagers have been arrested for trespassing and criminal misconduct at a shopping mall in Memphis for wearing hoodies (even though the mall’s appropriate attire code of conduct does not mention hoodies). A black man recording one of the arrests was also arrested.
Four white women decided to wear hoodies to the mall and even when they put the hoods up, they were only told to put the hoods down. I’m a 68 year old white man who wears hoodies all the time. I wonder if I would be arrested, too.
Professor calls police on black student for putting her feet on a chair. School says call was not racially motivated.
Well, fortunately we have the police officers‘ word for it!
We all know that the police would never lie about this, right?
Hey, unless you walk a mile in a policeman’s shoes, you wouldn’t know that it’s alright to lie on police reports, frame people for crimes, and kill unarmed people because you were “scared” of a cell phone.
Police in Washington State were called about a man sitting outside doing his job. Byron Ragland is a nine-year Air Force veteran and court-appointed special advocate who was required to supervise an outing between mother and child at a yoghurt shp, but the show employees found him “scary.”
Guess what color Mr. Ragland’s skin is.
The Board’s imbeciles tell us America isn’t racist. Have they started a thread showing these sorts of incidents happening to white people?
“But that’s all it takes in America — for you to be black, and to be somewhere you’re not supposed to be. And where you’re supposed to be is not up to you. It’s up to somebody else’s opinion.”
Why can’t the police hear the situation and then tell the owner what’s up? Why do they have to make the guy leave? I don’t understand that.
Did you miss the part where he was black?
Oh right. I haven’t walked a mile in a cop’s shoes to know that making a black guy leave for doing nothing is the correct action to take. My bad!
9-1-1 Operator : 911, what is your emergency?
Racist: There’s a black man, and he is scary.
Seriously, how the everloving fuck does that deserve cops being dispatched???
