You have a different view on this. If I was to resist arrest on a charge of running a red light, there is no justification that would make it ok to shoot me in the back 7 times. Cops have enough training and tools at their disposal to not kill a person over a traffic stop. While this young criminal did not die, he appears to be paralyzed, but is either outcome even remotely acceptable. The answer is no. Find another way....has nothing changed since Tombstone. This guy is not John Dillinger or Bonnie and Clyde. Unless significant change occurs, and the time is right for it, it appears, can you see where the future is going... Yes you have looters and pros in riots, but change needs to happen

No, never shot a tire...you may be right, but I would hope a cop would be trained on how to disable a car before they were trained to shoot in the back.

Never suggested to shoot into the car...maybe a tire...?he is not a bear, he is a human being, sexual assault is not a reason to shoot a man in the back 7 times, he did not have possession of a knife. Not suggesting this guy is not a criminal, or even potentially dangerous, just saying any good cop would not shoot 7 times in the back unless he is sick, shouldn't be a cop or is a racist.

Thank goodness you are not my neighbor. Being associated with you would make anyone need help. Are you a police officer? that explains why events like this occur all too frequently.

Sorry dubs but cannot agree. In any society the actions of this cop are wrong. If he had the weapon I get it... He may be drunk, high, a criminal, violent etc. 3 kids standing there, There is no crime short of murder that demands this type of over reaction at this stage of the confrontation. I am a law and order type...but not this type

Thanks for the thoughts from an intelligent person. I do believe this is truly a police training , police selection issue and societal problem. If some like Westside is involved in the process we see the results. There can be no justification for shooting an unarmed person in the back 7 times. Even Dirty Harry wouldn't do that.

I think Dahlmers crimes were a little worse than anything this guy did...He didn't get shot in the back by a coward 7 times. It didn't stop you from thinking the victim was a scumbag worse than any animal. You are one sick man or woman.

Sick man!

Not siding with a criminal. They didn't shoot Jeffrey Dahlmer in the back 7 times. There is no way you can justify your hatred or the action of this professional cop. I hate crime too. I hate gangs, I hate drugs, I hate violence and I hate guns. But I equally hate racism. I do find it interesting that you think this is a political issue.

Yes a hate crime...the guy was a real pos???.you have no idea who he is. So, what crime did he committ that warranted being shot 7 times in the back...was that because he was a real POS in the cops mind? He got what he is looking for and now wins the lottery? I CANNOT EVEN IMAGINE WHO YOU ARE AS A PERSON. There is not a hunter in the world that would shoot an animal in the back 7 times..out of respect. They would kill it to reduce suffering with 1 shot. This is a hate crime! Thanks for wishing harm on me...we NOW know who is the POS.

I can agree it is training related, police are trained as military force to be used against citizens. Was he frightened...no...He has been there before....was he out if control...yes! Was he power hungry...yes! Did he follow his training...perhaps but I do not know that..but does not stop it from being a hate crime,

Waste of corporate energy in a company that should join the vehicle revolution. Let's bring back the IBM 486 baby...

I do not see the knife as an issue at all. Here is the issue imho. 1. There was no imminent danger 2. The crime being investigated does not warrant such a violent reaction from police. 3. They know who this guy is, even if he runs they will get him. 4. Disable the car. 5. And the big issue....not 1 shot to the leg...to stop him,,,,,,but 7 or 8 in the back.. you would never shoot a deer 8 times, or a bear. That leads me...a white guy to say this is a hate crime by a gutless cop.

Oh I see a man woman of few words.

The answer to my question, did you eat your Kraft Dinner today is obviously NO. I hope this hurricane coming ashore doesn't flood your basement. If we don't hear from you again for a while we will understand, and we will be very happy.

Did you eat your Kraft Dinner today?

If you were attacked by a crazed grizzly, or a cougar, or you chased a rabbit, or deer who was running away....you would never shoot it 8 times... A real hunter would respect the animal. Some Cops have little respect for black lives. The NBA has responded, cross roads are fast approaching...is the moment too big for the politicians....this is like the second vote for emancipation since Lincoln...is the country able to accept the moment. There is No MLK Jr to control the anger.

What about old time afl. That post was uncalled for....or do you see it the same

23000 posts, 9500 pts. He is no troll...He is a violent person, he is likely part of the dangerous under belly of society, and a reason for the anti gun crowd to push their agenda. Rhino...we finally see eye to eye on an issue.

Did you actually mean that?

So, Reality check, employed by the Putin Committee to re elect trump, joined this site 9 months ago and spends his time trolling anti Trump posters. Reality Check is a Rhino clone likely, rarely posts just comments. Nice work if you can get it. ?????????????????????????????

Rather consider the later option rather than sooner option.

Can you please explain how you can not see how trump has not failed...you only see the other alternative, dems. Can you not see that he is just not helped the country get thru this pandemic. Can you not see how he ran to the politics, solution and failed the Oval Office. Wow,...do not say what would Hilary or Obama done... Just focus on trump. dubs..you have been on this site for a long time...asking me to explain is like asking Jauron failed. Marv was a leader, Jauron showed no leadership. Kelly was a leader, Bledsoe was not. When the game was on the line trump turned to politics not his full citizenship that he was responsible for. He allowed others to stop him, Pelosi, govenors etc, he blamed, not led. He spent his presidential goodwill on insults and bully around the country and world. He has no supporters left...for fucc sake Kelly Ann just bailed. Wow...at what point does justifying failure of trump stop hiding behind 4 years ago and Hilary.... Dick Jauron beat Belichek once too.... do I need to explain his failures.

You my friend are delirious.... talk is cheap...fact us trump failed his country and citizens...more deaths per capita...for the self appointed #1 nation with the #1 health system that trump failed to listen to. trump could not lead himself to a brothel. The fantasy for you would have been 17,500 deaths...if he did his job as a leader. Too late for too many. In a long line of Republican Presidents since WW2....He is by far the worst...Dwight D. /Nixon/Reagan/Bushes were much better leaders. This guy loves only two things...himself and money. A total leadership failure...and the supporters cannot see how he is destroying the once #1 country in the world...Obama started the spiral downward, trump has accelerated it.

Living in a gated community....hahaha.... You have said nothing intelligent that supports trump. His leadership is a failure...you refuse to consider no matter what I have said. You hide behind gates to protect your family from the guns and violence he has failed to address. Yes, this environment has been around for a long time, but he has divided the country more and it us worse now, I wish you and family well, just do not be duped by this guy, he does not lead.... I am well in Canada.. and plan to stay this way...Merci mon ami!
