The cop has been charged with Voluntary Manslaughter in the previous shooting.

The guy was deranged, and armed.

So many officer involved shootings.

We need a sleazy guy working through the crowds like at a ballgame saying “Programs. Get your programs here. Can’t tell the shootings apart without a program.”

Only constant “Police just shot down another one of us in their plan to kill off all of us black people.” “You got that right, brother.”

Sick of everyone trashing cops knee-jerkedly. It’s all part of the Frankfurt School marxists ppan to destabilize the US (Step 2), so they can have their violent revolution (Step 3), using race wars as their fuel.

When it gets intolerable, they will introduce and push socialism as the answer to ending the destruction and chaos. Which is, of course, Step 4.

Plain as day.

You can tell by the way the suspect dropped, he was likely dead before he hit the concrete. This was a legitimate shoot.

Tyrell ain’t with us anymore.

[Carl Vehse]

A righteous shoot, and another Happy Meal for anaerobic bacteria and maggots.

[equaviator]

Tsk, tsk, tsk...It’s too bad that it had to happen.

[Vendome]

Saw the other shooting and they both look justified to me...

Was that a justified shoot? Probably, in the strictest sense. But in fairness, one of the biggest differences between cops in the US and cops in other western countries is circumspection, or more specifically, the frequent lack of it.

Cops in the UK arrest suspects with knives all the time. How many of those suspects end up dead? Just about none of them. Why? Because most UK cops aren't armed. So how do they do it? By waiting until backup arrives in overwhelming numbers and then they baton the guy into submission if he doesn't surrender. They often surrender though because of the overwhelming numbers against.

The only person that guy was threatening was the cop. Could the cop have retreated a safer distance the moment he saw the knife and then waited until the odds were better? Sure.

Pulling a weapon on a cop is never a smart idea.

I attended one of the 3 letter federal LEO citizen academy’s a few years back. One part of the program was doing “act/react” drills using technology that displayed different scenarios where you had to shoot or not. No matter what you think you will not do the correct thing every time. It’s impossible.

Great day. Another opice that cannot breed or threaten citizens
