Right. But people need to watch it before they judge.

I'm being polite in what I say but I don't understand why some people will reach so far to distort things to the narrative that they want.

Look the guy was a violent Criminal. He was in the midst of whatever Act of criminality he was in the midst of. The reports have clearly said he took This Woman's keys and would not return them so the police were called.

You think that the police did not know he had an outstanding warrant when they ran his record? You don't think they knew the violent criminal that he is when they ran his report? That is just Fairy Tail thinking.

Discussions on these matters are great but there's a few Common Sense things that you have to begin with. Like that when the police check someone's record they know if they're a wanted criminal.

And by the way when a violent Criminal has a warrant for his arrest and the officer's attempt to arrest him he literally fist fights them and gets away from them and gets to his car... which by the way when you are behind someone and they are bent over you can't see what they are doing. At that point the person could be grabbing a knife a gun a grenade a bomb that could kill the whole neighborhood, who knows?

But here's a really radical idea. When the police attempt to arrest a violent Criminal and he resists arrest and gets shot why don't people have common sense to wait and see what actually happened.

This was not some case where a couple cops were driving down the road and and saw some black guy walking down the street and said hey N*****, we're going to shoot you cuz we're white and you're black.

This was a case where the police officers were called to do their Duty which they did and this violent criminal fought them and brought this upon himself.

Should he have been shot 7 times? That's up to the court to decide.

Should idiots be running around calling it systemic racism and burning cities to the ground? Positively not.

That is pure stupidity and the real racism.

Can you show me a statement from the WI AG that corroborates your account?

It's not up to the courts to decide. With qualified immunity it's upnto law enforcement.

I'd be willing to bet gentleroger wouldn't be willing to put a badge on, and put his life on the line on a daily basis.......but is quick to criticize those that do. I wore a green uniform, and was a MP, so he can have his freedom of speech, but don't try to tell someone who has done the job how easy it is, and how they should have done this or that.

Try the job yourself, then come back and tell us YOUR reality of life on the Job.

Tell you what - cover the costs of training and guarantee to make up the difference in income and I'll do it. If you're serious, pm me your contact info and I'll get a lawyer to draw up a contract and set up an escrow account.

I did not say it had increased or decreased. I just said it continues to go on. The two weekends of shooting in Chicago, 59 and 64 people, with 8 dead. Is that a decrease?

Compared to 1990, yes.

Crime goes on, but it less of a problem than it was 10 years ago and it is nothing compared to the 1980s.

You know how many cops are injured in domestic disturbance calls? Emotions run very high during these conflicts. What we Do know is he pulled away from the police and reached in to get something. These are not the actions of a rationale person. Again, with a rap sheet fairly long, it's more likely than not the police knew this guy and how he acts. He could have stuck an automatic weapon under his armpit and opened fire. If you were a cop standing right there you are telling me you would risk dying to reason with this man? I call BS. Easy to say what YOU would have done from the comfort of watching it on TV. Being there with your life on the line is very different. Why don't you stop defending a felon that failed to obey instructions from the police that would have kept him alive?

Since I don't know what happened, I can't say what I would do.

Why is it that some cops can deescalate a situatuon and some seem to ramp things up?

One story on CNN and Washington Post.
One story is better than none at all.
Plus a few of us here acknowledged it so the old “blame the leftist media” card is kind played out-even worse than people who play the race card in some cases.

Lofl "one story is better than none" yeah like I said ignored by the leftist media.

What you can't wrap your mind around is it wasn't widely reported because it was a non story. Might as well ask why the other approximately 2,000 juvenile homicides per year aren't in the national news either. It simply happens so often that unless there is newsworthy reason like a serial killer there is more interesting stuff to report.
