Are you new to the planet? A few examples off the top of my head: 1) Daniel Holtzclaw - preyed on poor Black women until he stopped a nearly 60 year old woman, who was the director of a daycare center. He forced her to perform oral sex on him in his patrol car. Most of his victims were middle CJ aged Black women who had records. 2) Charmesia Corley was cavity searched on the side of the road after being pulled over for running a stop sign, when the police claimed they smelled marijuana. 3) The case in New York where the young lady was picked up with two male friends. The two officers let the male friends go and raped her while she was in custody. They claimed it was consensual. While she will not get justice, there is now a law in New York that says that officers cannot have consensus sex with detainees. I know Anna Chambers is not Black, but she was vulnerable). PS - videos do not help. People want to see what happened before and after, remember? |
I sure don't know. I also don't know how many black people are killed because of weed. The person in this story was NOT killed because of weed, so the number of people (of any race) that are "killed bc of weed" is irrelevant here. |

Please explain how the shooting was not justified. Once the guy went back to get in the car, why isn’t use of lethal force reasonable. (I recognize she meant to use a taser, but even if she intended to use a gun, what’s the issue.). The guy could have been reaching for a gun. Has anyone seen the New Mexico video showing the officer getting gunned down?

At some point, shouldn't not killing people be more important than taking people into custody? It's not like he was actively committing a crime at that moment. Maybe we need to err on the side of life, rather than shows of force. |
At some point, will people ever learn to just listen to police? |
Every story about a bad cop has 1,000,000 of these behind it. |
You’re completely missing the point. He’s resisting arrest and he goes back into the car. How do the police know that he’s not reaching for a gun. Are they supposed to wait until they see his hands? Go watch those videos I linked to. |
this is from 1979. 42 years ago. things have changed. |
Yes. They are supposed to let him go. He is not a fleeing felon and he is not a danger to society. That is what police policy states. |
Is this recent enough? |

So you are going to just ignore the three stories I posted that made national news in the last 5 years? They were literally off the top of my head. This happens ALL of the time. 42 years after that article, it is STILL happening. |
Nice spinning of the facts. You make it like he was running away and the police shot him in the back. Once he got into back into the car, he could have reached for a gun. Spare me your armchair quarterbacking. And please show me the police policy that says once a guy resists arrest and gets into his car, it’s policy to just let him go. |
