[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please explain how the shooting was not justified.  Once the guy went back to get in the car, why isn’t use of lethal force reasonable.  (I recognize she meant to use a taser, but even if she intended to use a gun, what’s the issue.). The guy could have been reaching for a gun.  Has anyone seen the New Mexico video showing the officer getting gunned down?

Or what about the Nashville cop getting shot by the woman who went back into her car, resisting arrest:

At some point, shouldn't not killing people be more important than taking people into custody?  [b]It's not like he was actively committing a crime at that moment.[/b] Maybe we need to err on the side of life, rather than shows of force.[/quote]

You’re completely missing the point.  He’s resisting arrest and he goes back into the car.  How do the police know that he’s not reaching for a gun.  Are they supposed to wait until they see his hands?  Go watch those videos I linked to.

Yes. They are supposed to let him go. He is not a fleeing felon and he is not a danger to society.

That is what police policy states.[/quote]

Nice spinning of the facts.  You make it like he was running away and the police shot him in the back.  Once he got into back into the car, he could have reached for a gun.  Spare me your armchair quarterbacking.  And please show me the police policy that says once a guy resists arrest and gets into his car, it’s policy to just let him go.[/quote]

Holy crap.  You think lethal force is A-ok because someone could be doing something.  Jesus f-ing Christ.

[b]The real problem here is that policing attracts the lowest quality people.[/b]  The idiots, the bullies, the authoritarians.  And the boot lickers that support them.[/quote]

So how do departments attract higher quality people?   Because I'm sure the way they are seen/treated by then general public isn't doing much to convince "high quality people" they should go into law enforcement.  [/quote]

College education

Mental health tests

Better pay

Screen for racism

Security clearance

Locally stop hiring dudes from him f@ck Pennsylvania who never saw a black person except on TV.[/quote]

I won't argue with mental health screening and better pay.

Derek Chauvin has a college education.

How does one "screen for racism?"

What kind of "security clearance?"

Your last statement is just absurd.   None of the officers involved in the recent shootings match that description.[/quote]
