Police shooting black man in the back ... again (Kenosha, WI)

[volfanhill]

Exactly. The issue in these cases is not whether he is ACTUALLY armed or going for a weapon, its whether they have a reasonable belief that he is. That depends on a lot more than what we see here.

Are you going to actively criticize the future rioting over this? Or stay quiet? Or blame Trump?

 

[volfanhill]

Not necessarily. The guy could’ve said “I’m gonna go get my gun and kill you” and attempted suicide by cop

No weapon no threat period

These are separate issues. Just because this particular shooting may be defensible or just r lawful doesn't mean that people are not going to be upset by, especially in context of everything else going on.

We ought to all be supportive of peaceful protest, and we all ought to condemn violence.

We also ought to be critical of those who manipulate others with it. This includes those who will take one or two examples of violence and use it to dismiss the legitimate protests of thousands of others.

I don't blame Trump for that phenomenon as it has been going on long before he was around. But I DO blame him for not having the character to call that out, just as he would be critical of individual acts of violence.

So will this be another excuse for idiots to riot, loot and destroy public and private property over?

 

[Carl Pickens]

Evidently he's not dead. So these Kenosha cops not only can't restrain a guy, they can't shoot straight either.

Either that or the dude is half catfish

He's listed in serious condition or until further news of his death. Then we will know what & when.

By the time the cop knows there is a gun.... he is a dead cop.... being told to freeze.... disobey orders.... reach into a car.... will get you shot.

Biden told cops to shoot them in the leg didn’t he?

But .... but ..... that's police brutality. He didn't have to shoot the dude 7 times just to not freeze.

But .... but ..... but that's police brutality. He didn't have to shoot the dude 7 times for not to freeze.

From what I have seen and someone correct me if I am wrong.... if their is cause to shoot..... they are trained to shoot multiple times like that to eliminate the threat

OK

From what I've heard yes. Apparently people are throwing molotov cocktails at the police station

This is an outrage. Dude was reaching for his insurance card.

Of course, you have to steal **** so the white man understands you're oppression.

There's like 600,000 registered gun owners in Wisconsin... where they at?

I didn't know Wisconsin had a gun owner registry.
