Everyone by now has heard about the shooting in Charlotte.
A man is seen as suspicious and is told to stop and show his hands. Then he gets into his car and gets a gun. Then leaves the car with the gun. Then gets back into the car. Never ever obeys a legal command from law enforcement and is ultimately shot for it.
What? Did the public expect him NOT to be shot? Should the police have waited until they were shot at?

Did he point the gun at the officers? Did he threaten them in any way, shape or form, other than retrieving his weapon from his vehicle? Deadly force should not be considered until and unless the officer is faced with imminent danger and harm, or the public at large is faced with imminent danger and harm. Period.
Why is it that a "suspicious" black man is given a "kill shot", while a suspected/hunted bomber - who actually exchanged live fire with police - is wounded? Do police officers have better aim when they aren't being fired at?

If I am not mistaken, LE was also serving an arrest warrant on him...

When a police officer approaches and orders you to be still you don't then go to your car and get a gun and then get out of the car with it. That very act WAS a threat to the officer. What would make him think that doing that was going to work out well for him? That other stuff you posted was just races baiting and I won't fall for it. |

LEOs have family too. They have as much of a right to go home alive as any one else. I can't imagine how difficult it is these days to be a police officer.

When did it become a standard rule in the Black Community that they no longer have to obey the instructions of LE...?

Do police officers have better aim when they aren't being fired at? Definitely. |
