Recently, there were two SIGNIFICANT instances in Utah.

First, a nurse being arrested for following correct procedure.

Then the shooting of a man with warrants outstanding.

I assume, if the fugitive was armed, he could have turned and fired on the police officers.

Also, the fugitive was apparently STRONG enough to pull away from police.

But is that a reason to shoot a person in the back.

May need better police training in Utah.

I fail to see your point. Two instances among millions or encounters, most of which are correctly handled. Better police training? More and better training is always good, but that doesn’t solve the individual’s response to police when those individuals are raised and trained to hate authority and police. When police encounter that, something will always happen and more training will not always defuse the situation. That’s my point — there as much responsibility to defuse the situation on the individual as on the police. Add to that the crap lies of hands up don’t shoot that is believed in the black community and pushed by democrats and you have added fuel to the fire which no training will always defuse.
