Derek Chauvin trial

[Vol737]

Not true. He would've gone to jail if the dummy officer didn't confuse her weapon for her taser

Maybe, but it’s easy to be an armchair QB from hundreds of miles away and not be in that position. What says he wouldn’t have used that vehicle, in which he tried to flee and evade arrest, as a weapon had he gotten clear of the police? How does that end? A hail of bullets into the vehicle anyway? Not saying the cop didn’t screw up, but the suspect IS culpable by his actions in the escalation of the situation. Disagree?

I'm against cops murdering people. Would you just stand around and let someone murder you?

So believe he thought he was going to be murdered when he initially going to let the officer handcuff him? Then changed his mind and pushed and punched and kicked the officer?

There is a lot of mistrust and fear from the police in this country. Law abiding people or not. You are being dishonest if you disagree.

Instances like this, an officer confusing her weapon from a taser and killing someone, do not help matters

Neither does making insane statements like the cops are out there murdering people, pretending like these aren't very rare and isolated events. The vast majority of the time even POS's are treated well, better than they deserve regardless of color. The problem is on both sides here.

Why don't law abiding citizens trust cops? There are hundreds like this...

"what is your problem?"



"reaching for a weapon"



"get out da car Imma fuggin smoke you"



"Stop treating us like thugs"



"You should be afraid to get out"

Parents are teaching it and media are preaching it.

You get murdered by the cops?

Only if you are black, amirite?

 

[Vol737]

wrong... the outstanding warrant was for not having a registered pistol.

You are just piling on with charges. Charges that were pending and he should have had due process for. Should have. But he was shot to death by a police officer before he got that

So you don’t believe that by choosing his course of action that he created an unstable, chaotic environment? And by doing so, you don’t believe he directly jeopardized his opportunity to due process and put his own life at risk? Do you think he would still be alive if not for his response to the officers and had cooperated?

I am against that as well. But I wouldn’t put myself in a position to be harmed in any way. So why did he resist and try to flee?

It's always the the fault of the police yet those who constantly criticize the police would never trade jobs with them. It's a high stress job with very little pay in most areas and you have to deal with the worst of society on a daily basis. That's a recipe for disaster and the left wants to defund them even more. It's never the fault of the person evading arrest or being defiant.

Because the cop was white and systemic racism, therefore he felt cornered per the Left. According to the Left, minorities are too dumb to vote on time, need snacks, can't get an ID, and are slaughtered by police in the streets. I am not sure why anyone would want to live in such a nightmare of a place.

100 cops killed in the line of duty ytd. You can celebrate septic. I find it tragic.

Celebrate? Get a grip.

Being a LEO is a dangerous job, and the risk is known before day one. Shooting first and asking questions later is becoming the norm, trying to justify it is weak af.

How many were traffic deaths or non violent crime deaths?

So when did said officers not ask questions and just shoot? And if it's the "norm" why is only .00000025% of all LEO encounters with citizens?

The Left bases their entire governing principles on that magic "one percent" number: richest one percent, transgender, rogue cops, etc.

You say some crazy “stuff” sometimes, but “Shooting first and asking questions later is becoming the norm”, is just plain stupid.

Are we to believe the 26 year vet really didn't know the difference between a gun and a tazer? Was she really that incompetent or was it purposeful? What's your hot take?

One unnecessary death is too many, but fold up your blanket there Sep.

“Norm”?

Umm she made a mistake, you are welcome to take her place and have us criticize everything you say and do

I am guessing you didnt read the posts in this thread....she over panicked during a stressful because of the suspect being violent, had his insurance card in her strong hand instead of proper back up officer position, and meant to pull her taser to tase him and made a stupid mistake. This incident was partly on the criminal and his actions, and partly on the male/female officer and their department for really awful training.

It clearly wasn't purposeful due to her saying taser, taser, taser and the sheer emotional shock she had and actually DROPPED the firearm and said "OMG i shot him"....anyone who thinks this shooting was purpose with intent or that its because the suspect was black is asisine

Lol, I can live with your assessment and forgive your inability to read through the moderated hyperbole. If you can't see the problem with the current and increasingly heavy handed law enforcement tactics, you're either blind or you're in law enforcement.

It is befuddling. If you watch the video too she holds the gun out for a good 2 to 3 seconds before shooting the victim . I was not expecting that. I thought it was a split second mistake. My jaw dropped.

I don't think that she did it intentionally, her reaction after shooting the victim suggests it was an accident. But I dont blame people who question it because of that 2 to 3 second period before she shoots, like I said, it's befuddling.

I honestly wonder if she was on drugs or something

They gave the violent felon several opportunities to go peacefully did they not? And then he decided to get violent with them and commit more felonies. They were not "heavyhanded" at all until this occurred...don't you agree?

Umm, lotta' mistakes being made. She's a public servant being paid with tax dollars, if she or any other LEO can't handle the stress the shouldn't be given a gun.
