[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that if anyone has a violent criminal history, and are in process of committing any crime, it is very reasonable to assume they have a weapon on them (even if they do not). Therefore, I think appropriate policy would be to allow the shooting of any violent criminal in commission of a crime.[/quote]

1) We only know the victim had a "violent criminal history" because the cops said so. It's not clear yet what that history is.

2) We don't know yet whether the officers who pursued him on foot knew his criminal history when they started pursuing him.

3) Shoplifting plastic "designer" sunglasses is not a violent crime.

4) Human beings should not be executed by police for stealing without the benefit of due process. White collar criminals certainly aren't.

Fastest way to get shot by police is to run when they tell you to stop. Yet criminals do it anyways. Why?[/quote]

Because they're afraid? [/quote]

Or because they had just tried to rob a store at Tysons in the middle of operating hours with plenty of patrons and witnesses present and he knew i[b]t was a dangerous, violent crime[/b] for which eh would get jail time?
This guy was no saint, and his presence in society will not be missed. I dare say that we are safer for it. [/quote]

He wasn't "trying to rob a store". He shoplifted sunglasses. Shoplifting is not a dangerous violent crime. [/quote]

It is when it is aggravated. he could've purchased the item. Or not stolen it. Or gotten a job? Jesus, there are 100000 other options he could've tried. But he didn't because he opted for the criminal route.
Sorry, I cannot feel sorry for criminals. There are so many more decent humans worthy of sympathy. This guy was not one of them. [/quote]

So you are in favor of anyone who shoplift being immediately killed by police right? [/quote]

You guys make weird jumps. This guy is a [b]known criminal[/b]. He tried to evade arrest and escape police. He was shot in the process. If he had [b]cooperated, he would not be dead[/b]. He should've done that. But, he made his choices so I cannot feel sorry for him.

You PPs need to learn the concept of consequences for one's actions. Things didn't happen to him, he made his choices. And he paid for it. Oh, well.[/quote]

Not true at this point. Cops didn't know who he was or his past when they killed him. We still don't know what is criminal history is at this point. Police is just trying to bet on the probability that he has a criminal past. But nothing has been released. The second bolded part is not true for black men.[/quote]
