Tough Day To Be In Law Enforcement

I’m sure the state’s rights gun nuts are all up in arms over this authoritarian state. Right?

After all, this guy clearly is a threat to these officers and there was clearly no other option than to blow him away.
 
It looks like he was a threat. Why does he have to be a moron and keep walking.

Pretty blurry. Has it been confirmed that he was armed?

This situation is so sad. Not even sure what to say. If he wasn't armed, the officers that shot him should be in prison for a long time. If he was armed and not obeying commands.............that's a different situation. However, as far as I can tell, it doesn't appear that the guy made any sort of gesture towards the cops that would indicate they were in danger.

Also, why would the one cop be following the guy and then grabbing his shirt? Aren't they supposed to keep their distance better than that? When you are that close you really can't tell what the potential perp is doing.

I really don't know how this is going to get better in our country. All we can hope for is that cops that do bad things are punished appropriately. Better training. More selective application process. Mandatory body cams. We also need to give police a little less authoritative power. Too many of these guys are power hungry and seem to think this is the wild wild west.

No it hasn't waiting for details. He does have a record of carrying guns though, among many other charges.

There's about a 99% chance he was not just a good dude doting father, butttttt ..... cops just can't shoot you in the back because you are being inconvenient. This is much worse than Rayshard Brooks, who probably shouldn't have been shot but he was almost completely responsible for escalating that situation
