And how would the policeman know he has an empty magazine?
his xray vision must have failed him?


I get that you believe because he was shot in the back that constitute excess force?

Its easy to play monday morning armchair quarterback and say he just because he was running away he didn't have to shoot?

you are forgetting these teens were involved in a shooting earlier and the police weren't taking any chances, Im sure he was thinking he rather be judged by 12 vs carried by 6 like many officers before him.

Bottom line is if you live by the gun you better be prepared to die by the guy whether its law enforcement, other gang bangers or a civilian protecting his/herself.

I honestly have no empathy for the teen that was shot and killed, to me it just another menace POS off the street.

Am I supposed to have empathy for a thug?

I wont apologize for my feelings, I say the cop saved the tax payers some money although the investigation costs money.

Just another thug taken off the street, not occupying your jails or prisons and one less dirt bag committing crimes, its a win-win situation.

I dont see the problem?

plus the gangbangers he shot wont have to retaliate and possibly hurt an innocent bystander

again I dont see the problem.

You are supposed to have the decency to not ASSUME the worst about the kid. Do you know he shot someone? No. Do you know he would have shot anyone? No. Do you know he was not just with the wrong people? No. but you do know he was simply RUNNING AWAY(not posing a threat) at the time he was shot and are okay with that?

It reminds me of when cops arrested young kids in urban areas who had done nothing and said 'well, if he didnt do it today, he would have done something eventually"

people with this attitude of guilty before being proven guilty, and the attitude of so many others having expendable lives, are as much a problem as the people they are too happy to see die...

He had the chance to show his drivers license and prove he was innocent. Instead he ran like someone who was guilty. The back window was shot out and guns were found. What else do you want?

why would his drivers license show he was innocent? And why would he need one when he was not driving?

and do either of those things justify shooting him IN HIS BACK?

weapons were in the DRIVERS car, not the passengers ...

what I want is people not to have such a non chalant attitude about authorities playing executioner on citizens ...

I want people to not have such a long list of groups whose lives they excuse as expendable.

Do you know that he didn't shoot someone Miss harmony? they were involved in a shooting earlier.

Innocent people dont run from the cops, its that simple.

How many times have you been stopped by the police Miss Harmony, did you run?

I mentioned earlier Ive been stopped 3 times in America by police and Ive not run away , now should I have run because according to you Democrats, the police are shooting black people like an Olympic sport?

and If I did run what do you think would happen or could happen particularly if I fit the description of the man who shot someone earlier and I have a gun in my car with an empty magazine?

In that situation I would expect to get shot if I ran because they dont know if Im going to shoot them

Its kind of common sense no?

Police always ask for id. But you know that already. He didn't have an empty magazine in his pocket because the gun belonged to the driver. You wanted the policeman to let that thug go, so he could terrorize the community more.

Weren't you just complaining about living conditions and the poor being in bad communities? Well, it's the people who make a community a good place or a bad one. I wouldn't want a neighbor who wants a gangbanger running free.

you dont know that Miss Harmony, you are only assuming that.

do you have some actual facts that we dont know about?

Bottom line I dont blame the cops, they were told these thugs were involved in a shooting they matched the description they were pulled over and they ran.

Whether he was a passenger in the car participating or not its irrelevant.

If Im with friends ( and I know they would never do this) and they commit a robbery and shot and killed someone and I was in the car but had nothing to do with it, and our car get stop and we are taken down.


Guess what happens? we all get charged, and I will get convicted unless I hire a high priced mouthpiece to get me off

My point dont know if he shot someone or was just in the car being innocent ( I doubt it) he ran and innocent people dont run

If he was a stand up guy he would have stayed put and if he was innocent he would have no gun residue on his hands.

Even if he charged with being an accessory to a crime the Crown has to prove their case.

Im not the ignorant one. Passengers are not required to carry id. Knowing his name would not tell them if he had shot someone. The vehicle was not his, but the driver that they PULLED OVER. whatever was found in it, would be attributed to that driver. Maybe he ran because he was scared of being arrested, it doesnt matter, being scared should not justify a death penalty.

I dont care what your son did. This kid lived in a place where it was possibly not much choice for survival. He was a scared kid and he was trying to 'escape' whatever he felt was coming, and that also does not JUSTIFY shooting him in the back.

The military accepts people regardless of address. Can you say black card?

and I dont give 2 CRAPS about whether someone is UPSTANDING enough for other people. Shooting them in the BACK is an act of cowardice that should be illegal even for authorities.

allowing people to be assumed GUILTY by association and before trial is a crap path to take, because many people will assume the 'guilt' of others on plenty of things besides actual evidence.

and by the way, the events are on the internet to look up. they pulled over the driver, the passengers in the back seat ran, one was shot in the back running away.

We have laws also. When the police officer goes in front of a jury. At least one juror will have had problems with a thug who broke into their home or car or car jacked them or shot up their neighborhood. They will side with the police officer. This is why decent parents better be teaching their kids to obey laws instead of running after committing a crime. Protesting only got the idiots arrested.

take it easy you're not speaking to a Black lives matter seminar.

You Democrats makes me laugh at times, oh you have to assume he is innocent because you are innocent until youre proven guilty , which is true.

Excpet common sense and action dictate, if you run from the police there is something wrong.

Now I get what your beef is , he shot the thug in the back as he was running away.

I get it , you think it cowardice, and I disagree.

The thug took a chance and he lost, perhaps if he stayed in his car and obeyed the policeman order he would be alive today.

Now if the cop pulled them over and you can see the kids hands outside the car and the police shot them, I would be the first to say the cops should be charged with manslaughter and he deserves to be punished.


But back to the topic, the thugs shot someone earlier , they ran and one got shot and died.

Oh well , too bad so sad, one less scum off the street.

so a girl gets run over by a car,, and so what, she was probably on food stamps

and a boy gets shot in the back, and so what, he had done something illegal anyway

and protesting (a constitutional right) is 'stupid'

these threads are making me truly concerned about the direction of our 'culture' these days
