When you erase real life, everything is possible.
Others should risk it all, says someone from the couch.
We're a nation of double standards when it comes to justice and only because melanin now seems to trump the rule of law. It's why violent criminals like this get out of prison to commit more crimes. Constantly.
We need another Devil's island at this point.
I believe that all cops should assume the person they are detaining have the potential to kill if not careful whether they are wanted or not.
“His past crimes should not affect whether police acted correctly.”
A person’s criminal history can help police expect how the person is likely to act under certain circumstances. Thus a threat assessment can be made and the public protected from a likely threat. The threat may be removed.
Yes.. he’s a gem!
Fair Enough.
I think its like checking to see if a car is stolen before approaching it.
Thats very true. When they know theres a warrant on them, they do flip out.
To me it looked like this guy had a knife or some small weapon in his waistband, pulled it out and shifted it to the opposite hand and then ran for the car because he wanted to drop the weapon inside. Not a rational decision, but he didnt look like a rational person, and I believe he thought that if he could drop the weapon on the seat, they wouldnt get him on weapons charges.
A small hooked knife, what we used to call a linoleum knife, is apparently legal for felons there, and i thought that was what he was carrying. Or it actually may have been a gun, but in any case, to me it looked like he was trying to get rid of it by putting it on the seat. There were three children in the backseat, so I don’t think he as planning on attacking the cops.
These things happen very fast, And the press is there immediately to distort them and whip up hysteria.
After watching the video I have no question about why he was shot.
Now burn some more Lefty Wisconsin cities, Bigoted Lynch Mobs.
Bring dem.
“Darn Gov. Evers, fanning the fire here. He is worthless for our great state of Wisconsin”
Well, now that he’s fanned the flames, and made his dumb-@ss statements today, he’s calling out the National Guard!!
LEADING FROM BEHIND like every D@MN Socialist Democrat!
BREAKING: National Guard Troops Just Deployed

That is just dumb. Police officers get info for every call. Priors, weapons etc. that is SOP. Officers going on a call for a violent suspect with a history of resisting arrest are going to be in a different frame of mind than on a welfare check.
simply incorrect. that why cops have radios and dispatchers; so they can figure out if their current subject of interest is violent and/or wanted.
Waiting for the grade school pictures of this little angel.
I wouldn't heap too much abuse on Sean. While he bloviates a bit too much for my taste, the guy has to put up with 1000 times the level of threats and BS than you will ever be subject to.
The original news story talked about a “white” police officer shooting an unarmed “Black” man. It is bigger than mere adjectives, man!
Since EVERY vehicle investigation involves potential danger, all necessary safety
precautions must be taken. When an officer stops a vehicle that they believe has
been involved in the commission of a felony, the officers will employ the techniques
that are consistent with those
taught by the Police Academy for a felony car stop.

you said something less than brilliant. you should just admit it, and move on.
Acting to stop? I didnt see any attempt to stop in this video. I think its very clear this was an attempt to kill this man by pumping seven rounds into his back. This guy was totally uncooperative and looked like he was going to leave the seen and instead of attempting to stop this guy from getting in the car and arresting him, this officer decided to just kill him. Arrest warrant or not, I dont think thats how our system is supposed to work.
I agree except when there are warrants and information like using a gun in a crime. Past behavior predicts future behavior. He also has injured a cop in the pst.
