That was apparently the solution, in the back of a black man running away from cops, last night in Atlanta. Mostly on video as well.
When unarmed, fleeing, I don't see that working out well for the police or the community. Or for anyone.
When armed, in all seriousness we need to discuss level and immediacy of the threat.
Is there another video? The one I saw shows the black guy running off with the cop’s taser, not unarmed, and then the shooting is off camera, but when it pans, the crook is lying face down. The video I saw, doesn’t show him getting shot in the back.
Oh gee...though we know police are 'targets' and the criminals can and do shoot....lets just have the officer take notes on the level of threat before he protects himself......LOLOLOLOL.
Law enforcement officers throughout the United States face real danger every single day, including during routine traffic stops.
