I don't know at this point. At first it it looked clear. But now I am not sure. There is another video now. Going to have to wait and see.

I not sure what to think either. But I do agree if people would not resist arrest things would not happen like this.

My husband encountered a jerk cop who arrested him for speeding. He pulled my husband over and my husband asked how they radared him. The officer pointed up to a helicopter in the air. My husband (this is very out of character) said"You have to show me the radar, don't you?". The officer got mad. And went to arrest him, he cuffed him and pulled his arm up to far to cause pain. The officer then kept making comments trying to get my husband mad. But he stayed calm. And afterwards after being bailed out, my husband went back and made a report against the officer. We were later contacted by the Internal Investigators....the officer was eventually fired.

My 2 Cents.  Why this is old news now.  I am sure because it is already Wednesday, there is a new and better shooting already being covered by the media.  See?  Here we go....

 

Eye Opener: Another deadly police shooting

 

i think its wrong to shoot people

Update:

No. From what I've seen and heard  so far, the fatal shooting was not  justified. 

I'll have to make a more informed opinion later after the rest of the facts because I could be wrong. For right now though if a man was threatened with the gun police have every right to take precautions and assume someone will use it if they already have known he was threatening with it. If they say "get on the ground" and he reaches for his pocket where he may have something I am pretty sure anyone would have reacted the same.

However... if he was already on the ground and well controlled and then they shot him then no..... I wouldn't say that is justified because no one would have gotten hurt then.

Too soon to tell, I'll suspend my thoughts until all the facts have been gathered.

He was freaking subdued...why did they shoot him? This was not justified.

The Amidou Diallo case (and DOZENS more like it) should make us fairly skeptical of police reports where a cop says "I thought he had a gun" or "I thought he was theatening me"

I don't know if it's explicit training, or simply the professional culture LEOs in the United States absorb, but many police officers have very different ideas than the general population of what constitutes a "threat" and/or what an acceptable level of "compliance" is.

Unlike most people I'll wait for the facts to come out.
