The Latest on a Tulsa police officer's fatal shooting of an unarmed man

[Chadd77]

Today, a few cops showed up to work on time, wrote out a few tickets, responded to a couple of 911 calls, investigated an accident and then went home.

Brought to you by the liberal media, just to balance things out so that we are not accused of only reporting cops who are egregiously violating someone's civil rights.

You forgot to mention, beat up a black man! lol

Existential threat presented by another unarmed black man has been successfully neutralized. Criminal allowed to bleed to death on the street. Success!

True that. Regardless of whether or not the shooting was justified, to leave him lying on the ground without giving immediate medical care is messed up and doesnt help their cause.

True that..

it's "true dat" ya fucking weirdo:slap: :D

At the end of the day while much of what is said in this thread is true, this man's life was taken apparently unjustifiably and it is seemingly becoming systemic.

I don't know the scenario so I won't judge. That guy could have said to the cops he was going to get in his car and leave, running them over in the process or hitting someone else, or "I'm going to grab a gun and shoot you" to the police.

Every single case has been a lack of following simple commands from a government authority. Regardless of what a perceived wrong is you are to follow the orders of authority. It isn't as if the police are ordering people to bend over and drop their pants to get raped, these are simple, lawful commands. If you have a problem with them then you challenge them in court or ask for a supervising officer to be present. Or keep disobeying authority and getting killed. This is really a simple answer. It isn't for YOU to decide whether you are being lawfully or illegally stopped and questioned as I bet not one of the people killed were lawyers.

The injustice has to stop with the police being trained on lawful questioning, and force de-escalation. In the mean time follow the polices orders and take it to court for fucks sake.

The call was a 911 call about a car in middle of the street. Cops show up and feel threatened to draw guns. 5 of them. Not necessary to me. Then the helicopter guy says this big bad looking black guy. Then says he looks like he on sumthn. Still no right to get tapered then shot. That's overkill. He should not have kept walking away, I agree, but that still poses no threat.

When I was deployed to Iraq. If we shot sum1 we had to fill out a report. I had soldiers get discharge for shooting. It's sad that don't get reported, young soldiers get kicked out, but cops get admin paid leave.

It is interesting that in the same week, an armed suspected terrorist who allegedly set of multiple bombs and engaged in a shootout with the police was taken alive, while an unarmed guy who posed far far less threat to anyone was summarily shot and allowed to bleed go death.

As a person of color, who should I be afraid of again? Who is the real danger to my health and well-being?

I still say that regardless of the amount of force the authorities use, being confrontational and disobeying direct orders will not end well. The police should never be in a position where a citizen gets them to back down by being confrontational. It is the act of non compliance that will escalate force regardless of skin color. Following orders and being well mannered will get them to calm down in just about every case regardless of skin color.

The man in New York was shot though.

I see both sides and agree with both. On the one hand the guy is dead and he didn't seem to pose much of a threat. On the other hand like chuck said, every single time this happens it involves people not listening to simple orders. Had the guy simply put his fucken hands up and got on the ground he would be alive today. It's not right that he was killed but for fuck sake follow orders when people are pointing guns at you. It's common sense.

I read that the police took specific action to take him alive. It's a shame but not surprising that the Tulsa motorist wasn't accorded the same courtesy.

because he may provide intelligence about other terrorist.

Whereas the black guy is just disposable, to be summarily executed?

Look, I think the Jersey police did well to take the alleged terrorist alive. All I am saying is that the same level of "care" doesn't seem to be accorded a whole segment of our population.
