Yet another one — Cops gun down 20-yr-old black male near Las Vegas

21. Nonsense

De-escalating was the cops trying to verbally direct him to a peaceful ending for minutes prior to the use of force. It seems like the cops are damned if they do, and damned if they don't. If they had jumped in with physical restraint, baton strikes, and tazers, this thread would have been about excessive force. The same anti-police posters would be condemning the cops for using physical force too quickly, or using too much force.

I suppose in future police related threads in which police officers use considerable force to subdue and arrest a non-compliant person, you will loudly announce your support for them, because decisive and swift use of force has the potential to end the situation before the non-compliant person does something that warrants the police using deadly force, right?

I'll hold my breath.
