[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can there just be an understanding that you should never resist arrest? Regardless of race, gender, criminal record - just do not resist arrest. [/quote]
So that’s your excuse for summary executions?[/quote]

Not relevant. Stop resisting.[/quote]

This was not a “summary execution.”  The police did not intend to kill this man. They may have been recklessly indifferent but his death was not purposeful. [/quote]
They didn’t intend to kill him. They were just softening him up before taking him out for tea and cookies. The poor man had the nerve to die.[/quote]

Puerile emotionalism sarcasm doesn’t change the facts. They intended to subdue him. They didn’t just shoot him in the back of the head. [/quote]

You don’t understand “Intent to kill” definition.

They formed intent to kill when they intentionally beat him enough to die.

If you shoot at somebody with the intent to kill them and miss them but kill somebody else, you are charged with “intent to kill”.

If you intentionally beat someone to death … even if your intent was not necessarily to kill, you formed intent to kill by doing something intentionally that killed them.[/quote]

No, you don’t understand the difference between “some degree of homicide” and “summary execution.”

The issue to which the relevant posts was directed was not whether, when and to what extent any given defendant formed the mens rea sufficient to support a conviction for some degree of homicide. It was whether what occurred was a summary execution. It was not.

For an illustration of summary execution see the shooting down in the street of Viet Kong Captain Nguyễn Văn Lém by South Vietnamese General Nguyễn Ngọc Loan in February 1, 1968, during the Tet Offensive. [/quote]

A summary execution is an execution in which a person is accused of a crime and immediately killed without the benefit of a full and fair trial.

This literally is what happened to Tyre.[/quote]

If there was even a scintilla of merit to this argument the police involved would be charged with murder, not second degree murder.

Exaggeration does not move the hall down the field toward a solution to the problem of excessive police force.[/quote]

The charges will be upgraded for at least three of the cops[/quote]
