No doubt - how can anyone support such a thing? Shameful. walkingman May 2021 #1

The DA practically said as much aeromanKC May 2021 #2

Yep. And if cops aren't controlling something, they see it as a threat. Particularly when it comes WhiskeyGrinder May 2021 #3

He was shot in the back while running away EarlG May 2021 #4

He claims that if he doesn't stop and submit to arrest, the car becomes a deadly weapon StarfishSaver May 2021 #6

their "excuse" is the cop standing in front of the car. WarGamer May 2021 #24

Yes. "Excuse" in quotes being the operative term StarfishSaver May 2021 #25

Cops have a list of "excuses" aka "justifiers" WarGamer May 2021 #26

The short clip clearly shows the cop easily getting out of the way mcar May 2021 #46

The DA said the car Mr.Bill May 2021 #54

If he submitted to arrest he still may have been shot... lame54 May 2021 #9

True EarlG May 2021 #12

His mindset and decision making in that moment... lame54 May 2021 #14

Or had someone kneel on his neck for nine minutes. n/t Mr.Bill May 2021 #55

Actually in some jurisdictions it is unbelievably not dsc May 2021 #5

Of course, there are exceptions StarfishSaver May 2021 #7

In Philly it didn't have to immediate dsc May 2021 #8

Not true. This is not a jurisdiction by jurisdiction issue. It applies nationwide StarfishSaver May 2021 #10

If a suspect fleeing is dangerous because of the danger inherent in driving a vehicle... Blanks May 2021 #13

If a suspect in a car is inherently dangerous StarfishSaver May 2021 #15

Yes, it is. eom Blanks May 2021 #18

RIGHT !!! The DA laid the case that everyone in a car should get shot when a LEO is around uponit7771 May 2021 #30

That news briefing was not about truth... FarPoint May 2021 #11

So if the police have surrounded Tndem615 May 2021 #16

That's not what happened. gldstwmn May 2021 #19

You didn't see the video then Tndem615 May 2021 #20

The cop didn't stand in front of the car, that's the still the DA showed which was bullshit when the uponit7771 May 2021 #31

If there's nothing to hide gldstwmn May 2021 #17

They did Tndem615 May 2021 #21

I meant the whole video gldstwmn May 2021 #22

Well Tndem615 May 2021 #23

"Trying to get away from the police" is not a valid reason for being shot StarfishSaver May 2021 #27

Thank you. gldstwmn May 2021 #28

What Tndem615 May 2021 #29

avoiding hitting a LEO isn't "running over a police officer" none of that bullshit passed the smell uponit7771 May 2021 #33

Use of deadly force Tndem615 May 2021 #38

Driving a car is not "using deadly force" in every circumstance StarfishSaver May 2021 #47

Show me where any cop in that short clip mcar May 2021 #48

Again, that's not what happened. gldstwmn May 2021 #57

Shooting a fleeing suspect in the back gldstwmn May 2021 #58

No police officer was run over Bettie May 2021 #59

If a cop thinks someone is about to run him over with a car, he doesn't need to shoot him StarfishSaver May 2021 #61

Yep.. Bettie May 2021 #62

+1, the fact that people STILL would post that is gob smacking !! Its against the law to shoot... uponit7771 May 2021 #32

The people who post that Bettie May 2021 #60

Yep. StarfishSaver May 2021 #63

And yet a white man who drives away with a cop stuck in his car window Bettie May 2021 #64

If they're winning it's because they're getting a huge assist from people on our side StarfishSaver May 2021 #65

Educate me brah Tndem615 May 2021 #39

You need to be educated on the fact that the justice system is full of white supremacists? StarfishSaver May 2021 #40

I always Tndem615 May 2021 #41

I did not make the statement you responded to. StarfishSaver May 2021 #44

You Tndem615 May 2021 #51

I didn't make the statement you originally responded to. But you're right StarfishSaver May 2021 #52

Uhm... Humanist_Activist May 2021 #68

I agree. Argument must be based on facts. TomSlick May 2021 #56

I am disappointed that you did not respond to my post. TomSlick May 2021 #69
