So many questions about Adam Toledo

[StarfishSaver]

14. "Potential dangerous criminal activity" is not a capital offense deserving summary execution in the

street.

At the time the cop engaged with him, Adam was not "engaged in potential dangerous activity." He was running away. Police are not allowed to shoot people who are running away from them. He stopped when the cop ordered him to. He put his hands in the air when the cop told him to. At that point, it didn't matter whether he had "engaged in potential dangerous activity" previously. All that matters is what he was doing in that moment and in that moment, he was complying with police orders and surrendered by putting his hands up.

So, yes, it IS irrelevant to this discussion that he was out at 2 am. And the insistence on injecting that into the discussion about whether a police officer was justified in shooting him dead when he was surrendering with his hands in the air is an all-too-common but no less disgusting "blame the victim" exercise that excuses the inexcusable behavior of police officers.
