This and the sentence for firing a gun in the mall may have that effect.

They must have thought they saw something in his hand, more facts will come out.

Fairfax does not have any foot pursuit policy in place. It has been repeatedly recommended that they implement one. No time like the present. [/quote]
Like what? [/quote]

Who knows, they were woods with a guy who had been charged with attempted murder. Don't run into dark woods with cops chasing you. They may get spooked and kill you [/quote]

How about never run from the cops, or you might be sorry if you do?
[/quote]

So you want “running from the cops” to be an automatic death sentence without a trial. America is not the country for you.

Body cam footage will vindicate the officers. Guy was a dangerous scum and made some type of threatening movement when he realized he hit a dead end (that woods backs up right to a brick wall lol)[/quote]

You play too many video games. [/quote]

DP.  They've reported that he was shot in the chest.  Either he turned around to surrender and was shot or he turned around to attack.  [/quote]

I’ve lost count of how many bodycam videos I’ve seen of people screaming that they’re cooperating, often literally being crushed by the arms of weight of officers and yet they’re fatally injured or killed.  “Hands up, don’t shoot!”  can still get you killed.

I support police in general and I don’t have the perfect solution, but giving up our constitutional rights is definitely not one of them. [/quote]

NP. Totally understand what you’re saying, and agree with you for the most part; however, this issue has gotten so out of hand at Tyson’s I don’t care about this guy’s rights. I care about the rights of upstanding citizens to shop and work safely at the mall. [/quote]

Everyone’s rights matter.  I live near Tyson’s and I’ve stopped going there because last time I was there, I had to run from a stampede escaping what they thought was a shooter.  It was the third such event in three months.  It’s unfortunate, but Tyson’s is going to have to come up with a solution if they want to stay open.

It’s my neighborhood and I understand your frustration but when you protect everyone else’s rights, you protect your own. Do not give up your rights out of fear.

I remember running from police in rural Pennsylvania as a teenager attending a keg party. I was wrong, but I’m glad they didn’t have the right to shoot me.  [/quote]

I'm the poster you're responding to. I'm not giving rights up out of fear. I believe we've all given up rights (the right to exists peacefully and safely in formerly decent areas) because we fear acknowledging common sense and fear being called racist.

I've also run from keg parties. There is a huge difference between running from keg parties and being a hardened criminal that's regularly casing a department store and makes the decision to steal and then run from the police. He is one of many at Tyson's. You play a stupid game, you win a stupid prize.[/quote]
