At least someone gets it.

[Distriimuir]

So they should die before protecting themselves from criminals?  Thus letting them continue their kill streak? (generalizing all cases here, that wasn't directed specifically for this one)

Yes, that is there JOB, that they chose to pick out of all the jobs out there where they aren't held to a higher standard, they chose to be police officers. Who don't kill unarmed civilians.

[Distriimuir]

Becoming a police officer isn't
"Alright, we need to protect the citizens.  But if the criminals try to kill you, you can't defend yourself how you feel you need to.  You just have to let them kill you if your mace doesn't work"

If it was, then WHY would they have guns in the first place?

For criminals with weapons, are you really that ignorant? Or just trolling again?

[Distriimuir]

So you think that just because someone doesn't have a weapon, they can't pose a severe lethal threat?  I could probably easily kill someone from my experience in karate.

Police should only shoot if they fear for their lives.  And that is what they do.

Yes if someone doesn't pose a direct immediate threat, as a cop they legally can't just shoot people. Thank god your not a officer or a lawyer you'd fail on both points.

HAHAHAHA what the .love.?!  The cop is supposed to let someone just kill them rather than saving themselves?  This conversation is a waste of time haha. I sincerely hope no one assaults you . Me?  I would rather just go on living.

This is one of the few times I'm taking your side on things, Taysby 👍

[Distriimuir]

Oh yes let's be glad you support cops killing people when it's not a direct threat.

Assaulting him is not a direct threat? 

[MuggyWuggy]

I just still question the claim of attacking an armed cop

Where is the body cam footage

[MuggyWuggy]

Source?

[Silent1236]

Source?

Please. That's something I was curious about.

Taysby has all the answers and never any links

Can we just talk about the topic and not about the people discussing?

Ok again I'm on the fence on this because I have not heard anyone with concrete evidence. So I am going to go against the majority. Stuff I've heard on the radio (not rush or bill orally[yea misspelled on purpose]).

The police officer was punched in the face and has an orbital fracture.

They do not give statements until the investigation is done. (All it takes is one wrong sentence or a miss quote and imagine how worse it could be)

Brown tried to reach for the officers gun.

The officer was shooting at the body and brown fell forward. The bullet hit brown on the top of the head which killed him. The officer was not trying to kill him but wasn't expecting him to fall.

Again this could just be them trying to cover it up. I really don't know. But being on both sides ( I hung out with some people I shouldn't have when I was younger. And now know several police officers ) I want to see what happens and is released with actual evidence.
