[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it weird that the vast majority of men who have been shot by police recently have 1) physically resisted arrest, AND 2) have criminal records for violence (often against women).  What are the chances of that?[/quote]
That's a pretty idiotic statement (and you know that). First, violence against women isn't a statistic that is led by Black men. It's all too common among all races. The common thread here is that Black men are more likely to be shot by police during a traffic stop. Resisting arrest and having a criminal record are crimes that should be punished by the legal system (in court)...not on the street by a racist cop.[/quote]

Follow the law, comply with police orders, and don't resist arrest or attempt to flee.  You're almost certain to live.  Simple.

That's a stupid comment. Many recently killed citizens were complying with police orders when they were shot...or the police escalated the situation to a point where deadly force was used.

It must be nice for you to be able to just tell yourself (or your sons) that beautiful lie.[/quote]

And yet, many, many magnitudes more comply and don’t get hurt. Yes there are exceptions but your chances are near certain.[/quote]
I think everyone agrees that you need to comply with the cop's orders. You're not really making any point here. 
The 20 year old made a mistake and probably should've been tased for it. I would rather see him tased instead of getting in a physical altercation and "forcing" the cop to use deadly force.

He made a mistake, she possibly made a mistake. He is dead. My point is that this should've ended with him in handcuffs for having a warrant. There's no use in arguing about who was right and who was wrong. They were both wrong.[/quote]

Thank you, I agree with this, this is one of the most rational responses on this thread. They both messed up. The problem is really pretty much every time it starts with a man resisting arrest and cascades from there. What is so frustrating is this idea that cops should just let people go and get ‘em next time. I just don’t even know where to start with that.[/quote]
PP here. I don't agree that they should've just let him go and get him later. However, there's a lot of options between letting him go and killing him on the spot. I think she "probably" made the right decision to use the taser but I don't have all the details. Either way, she messed up and needs to be held accountable. I disagree with the city's decision to let her resign. If I'm correct, this means she still gets her pension, etc. She should be fired and have to forfeit any future compensation. [/quote]
