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

[TorchTheWitch]

45. how hard is it to understand that they may not have been able to?

You did notice how reluctant they were to get very close to him, right? Could it be there was a reason for that like he had a weapon of some kind?

This is just cop hate bullshit that's been rampant on DU at least since I came here over a decade ago. If they did take him down you and others would be on here screaming that they were too rough or why couldn't they try talking him down, blah, blah, blah. On DU every cop is a crazy gun nut or too lazy, and the people like you that think they know everything concerning what they trained to do and why when they don't know spit about it and when there is NO WAY TO TELL what the hell happened or why.

Enough of this shit already. Nobody but the people involved in this situation know what the hell happened or why. That video is a ridiculous piece of crap taken from so far away you have to watch it several times to even figure out which are the police and which is the loony resisting arrest aside from the fact that the git that was taking it couldn't be bothered to even try to keep their hand still or even AIM the camera properly so through the entire thing the frame is bouncing around so much it's like being on a tilt-a-whirl.

Have you signed your own ass up to be a police officer yet so you have a leg to stand on giving your "expert" opinion on everything they do or don't do in every situation including those like this one that you can't even SEE what the fuck happened? I thought not. Armchair general that never even bothered to spend even five minutes learning anything about officer training yet wants to pretend they're some kind of expert and their hate fest opinions actually mean anything other than the blatantly obvious.
