At this point, good. Tysons has been plagued with shootings, thefts, fights, etc. for the past 2 years. I hope this incident will deter the criminals who are now coming in droves to commit acts of violence at the mall. I go there with my family. I will not mourn the loss of another criminal who tried to rob the mall and put innocent lives in danger. He made his choice. And it turned out to be a very bad one. [/quote]

I get that you're concerned about safety. But do you understand that shoplifting shouldn't result in an execution?[/quote]

[b]Being shot while resisting arrest is not “an execution[/b].”  Committing crimes and fleeing from the police is an inherently risky thing to do, as in the chaos of such events it’s quite foreseeable that the police can believe themselves threatened and need to take action.  Obviously what the bodycam footage shows is important here.[/quote]

Yes, that pretty much is.[/quote]

~reasoning needed~  If you can’t see the difference between killing someone in cold blood and killing someone in the context of a struggle caused by the decedent’s own wrongful conduct, there is no helping you. I wouldn’t even bother to respond, except this view is quite dangerous and is causing significant problems.  It’s a fully generalized argument against policing:  because it’s too dangerous for the criminals, the cops shouldn’t pursue suspects or try to subdue  those resisting arrest.  The implication of this is that people just need to accept a vastly higher property crime rate than they are comfortable with.  That won’t work and it won’t end well.  [/quote]

+1. A known perp to police evading arrest after committing multiple crimes. I have no tears for him. And particularly after what happened yesterday in Orlando with the murder of a 9 year old, two journalists and a 20 year old woman, I would hope that police continue to step up the presence at Tysons. The violent crimes in this country have gotten out of hand. [/quote]
