You would stand there and let someone shoot you?
"You would stand there and let someone shoot you?"
He was running before anyone was shooting. He had been on the ground fighting with the cop (according to the man who took the video) and then somehow got away even though he had been tased. Not defending the actions, but would prefer we wait until all evidence is in.
Did you not watch the new video?
Suspect was just sitting in his car (after getting out earlier and being told to get back in) while the cop was at the police vehicle. Out of camera but likely running the plates or calling in when, all of a sudden, the suspect just leaps out the door of his car and takes off running. Up until this point, the cop has shown all proper decorum.
I do not know why he ran, but I'd bet my bottom dollar he would still be alive if he hadn't.
Still a bad shoot and by all available evidence murder....but why run?
I repeat....stupid, stupid...by both parties.
