Well, here is the newest police shooting video that everyone is going ape-shit over

[JMobile]

One of my friends (who is a cop) is claiming on Facebook that the cops on scene were familiar with the guy and knew that he had a felony warrant and were trying to arrest him which is why their guns were already out.

This guy never posts about anything police related despite being a LEO. First time I seen him post something like this.

Any sexual assault should be a felony in all states, I hope. If the cops were familiar with the thug then I don't see a huge problem here.

I'm hoping this is the case.

[JIBBBY]

I'm sure he had a criminal wrap sheet just like Floyd did.. That's why they resist cop commands and arrest.. Drrrrr..

Gambling with your life then.. You get shot and killed resisting and evading and then reaching too bad.. White or Black. Color of skin doesn't matter!! White meth freak shoot him to..

Supposedly after the guy was tazed, he told the cops that he was getting his gun and that was why people can be heard shouting "Don't do it!" several times.

If he survives he's gonna get paid.. All signs say he's gonna live.. Got lawsuit!!!

Family and him just hit the lotto.. Best thing that ever to this thug..

Yeah, last I heard, he is in stable condition.

If he had a weapon as reported to me he won’t get anything except jail.

[PAULYPOKER]

The dude had a death wish, period.

Nothin to see "hear".

[JIBBBY]

Doesn't matter, can't unload your clip into someone's back even if it was almost justified.. He'll get paid millions in a lawsuit..

[fried cheese]

Does anyone know why the cops had their guns drawn on him in the first place? Did they find out that he had a felony warrant?

the guy that recorded the video said the cops had already wrestled with him and tasered him before that according to this article.


White said he left the window for a few minutes, and when he came back, saw three officers wrestling with Blake. One punched Blake in the ribs, and another used a stun gun on him, White said. He said Blake got free and started walking away as officers yelled about a knife.

Gives them no right to execute someone, but why take the risk? Feels like every black person that gets pulled over goes into "penetrate the police" mode and that isnt going to end well. Sad, but predictable

ignoring drawn guns - insane.

Oh gawd I hope they release the body cam footage or vehicle cameras so that this thug can go to prison.

So what happened to all those criminal apologists who insisted that the officers should've sought alternative measures to calm the perpetrator, such as "tackling" and tickling and aromatherapy or whatever nonsense they had in mind? They just head for the exit or what?

[Mr KLC]

This is what happens when you don't shoot to kill.

[Fred The Hammer]

That other video? My God? I'm a Democrat, but its out of control. That cop in Minnesota was homicidal with George Floyd, but many of these guys are just trying to do their job and go home at night. Nobody but violence junkies are going to apply for the police force now.

One question though? Where are their clubs? If the guy shakes off being tased then I promise you I would go Mike Trout on the guys skull until he is handcuffed or unconscious. He would probably survive atleast. The Wendy's shooting in Atlanta is another one. Cops were unprepared. I would've had club in hand and fully prepared to shatter his knee if he pulls some shit. Its not like its often 1 cop on 1 perp

Where are the police clubs?

Rodney King ended those days

[dlowilly]

This is a prime example of where our country is at.

One group sees this video and concludes reasonable and justified force.
Another group sees this video and is sad a person lost his life and wonders if this was an example of excessive force.

Ain`t nothing going to change the viewpoint of either group.

Yeah but more than half the people who are on the side blaming the cops think using check cashing stores is banking and/or the Earth is flat

[Fred The Hammer]

Rodney King ended those days

I know some still carry them? Or a big ass heavy flashlight. The problem is these cops looked like donut eaters versus a young black guy. One of the 3 cops might've been a woman? They either don't have the physical power or some violence junkie cop chokeholds a guy to death. There has to be a middle ground, but its difficult as hell when every other stop of a black person ends up in a goddamn free for all?

Problem is the The carotid restraint has been taken away. Officers would use that tool to subdue the subject but now they’re not allowed to do that the police are screwed they just not let them do what they need to do

I'm right here. They should have restrained him from going into the car before they shot him.

You had me engaged until “every other”..

Choked too many people out. Tough situation? I'm 54 now, but I'm 210 and used to bench over 350. 2 donut eaters and a woman wouldn't have the chance to choke me out at 29 even if they were well trained...provided I fought back which I wouldn't do.

Maybe you segregate the cops? In the hood you get black cops....atleast they cant cry racism. I'm a veteran and I love my country, but we're more ****** up then we've ever been in my lifetime

Um, it doesn't. That's you swallowing what the mass media is feeding you

If democrats could grasp things like statistics they wouldn't be democrats

How? Knee to the neck? Choke hold?

I've been everywhere and done everything almost. I don't buy into mass media from the left or right. I do know theres obviously enough of these violent confrontations to have what we have now.

I worked in east Ft. Worth....had a gun pulled on us in the hood while we were trying to repo a washer/dryer. I've seen the good and bad from most people

[Fred The Hammer]

Well you can't tell the difference between 4 (Dead from Benghazi) and 4500 (Dead GIs from fake WMDs Iraq)

[gauchojake]

There are a number of less than lethal options that police departments could use. The police department in Ferguson tested out a product from Alternative Ballistics but it doesn’t seem like they did anything with it. It’s a million dollar idea if you can change the way police actually police.

[Fred The Hammer]

I know one thing. Keep your mind open. I think that Route 33 video changed my thinking slightly towards the cops. Try to be flexible enough to change your opinion from time to time.

Take it from an old man....the world is mostly gray, but people think black/white.

There have always been these rare cases. This is a big country, there are a lot of criminals, and there are a lot of police/criminal interactions.

The difference is now everything is videotaped and the modern mass media (which is political these days) can take a few instances over months and plaster them all over for 24 hrs a day to shape your thoughts and make you think it's systemic. If you plaster a few instances of anything all over the media 24 hrs a day you can make it seem the norm.

If they showed a few clips of unexplained UFO sightings 24 hrs a day a lot of people would be convinced an alien attack was imminent.

Bizarre statement but you are a Democrat

You're the one that said every other stop of a black person ends up in a free for all BTW, so you really shouldn't go down the numbers and statistics road or assume how I or anyone else interprets them.

[pimike]

Stop resisting. Real simple.

Not bizarre to me. If I had a $1 for everyone that said Hillary/benghazi/jail/blah blah blah then I'd be easily retired by now. Nobody ever said shit about Cheney/Iraq unless I happened by CNN. Not in Indiana anyway

I miss the good old days when Reagan and Tip O'Neill respected each other. Pence is a religious loon, but I'd vote for him over Biden. Its just trusting the country to a narcissist is a dangerous situation. Trump is the only POTUS in my lifetime to suck up to Russia. Something really wrong going on there. His hardcore supporters also remind of Hitler's Nuremburg rallies. It didn't matter what he did by 1942 and how fkd up Germany was going to be in the end......they were hooked like a drug addict.
