If he had shoplifted and then stopped immediately when caught, he would not have been shot. He was shot because he was running away from police after committing a crime. Do police use their guns too much? Everyone knows the answer is YES!!!!! until that is systematically fixed, what’s the best way to personally stay out of that situation? Everyone knows that unless you lived in Memphis, the best way is to not commit crimes and to not run from or resist the police

I missed that part. Just face it: FFX police blew this guy away in a trigger happy fit and now they're trying to weasel out of it. While the racists run their mouths and try to blame the victim. Stay classy, NOVA racists.

I'm so tired of the rich white ladies in DC and Arlington living in their million dollar houses having experienced zero to no crime in their lives telling the rest of us how we should feel sorry for criminals. When have you EVER had to experience real crime and violence? Have you been scared for your life? Probably not. You live a safe life cushioned by money so you get to be a keyboard warrior and talk about how everyone else is a racist while hoarding generational wealth for yourself. If not PP directly, I can tell you that there is a HUGE number of DC liberals that fit this bill.

Have any of you had a family member shot by a criminal? Have you sat in the hospital with your mother consoling her as she cried over your sibling who was recovering from gun shot wounds? If you have not experienced that, you can seriously back off with this poor criminal BS. You have no idea the impact crime has on the lives on victims and their families. My SIL experienced something similar when her father was shot in the stomach when his store was robbed at gun point by a criminal. He luckily survived after weeks in the hospital. Did your family live in neighborhoods with bars on the windows? I've been held up at gun point twice. It is terrifying. My DH grew up in a civil war, lost his family members, and experienced terror that you will never know. And you know what we have never done? ROBBED PEOPLE. Committed crimes. There is no excuse for it. I don't care what neighborhood or families these criminals come from. Stop excusing it. And call me a racist all you want, but I am Hispanic and grew up in a Hispanic town. Most people think the way I do.

I'm over the this crying for criminals while conveniently forgetting the trauma that they inflict on the rest of us. It's such a rich lady thing to do. But pat yourself on the back for your "tolerance".

Thank you for speaking out here.

Oh my god with the over the top reaction here. Stay in a lane, please. Your impassioned plea would make more sense if this were in carjacking thread or so ething smilar, NOT one about shoplifting at a suburban mall. Sorry...but I don't feel terrorized by shoplifters and I don't think that I should either.

This guy had a criminal history. He wasn’t just a shoplifter.

most shoplifters are criminals. the ven diagram would be almost 1 circle. so he was a shoplifter.

He has a violent criminal history. VIOLENT.

Where do you see that? And how did the officers know this as the unarmed ma ran AWAY from them? Keep carrying the water for bad cops and then act surprised when people don't trust them.

The police said they were tracking him inside the mall. They also said he had a significant violent criminal history. In a quick Google search, I found a couple old charges but mostly pages and pages of the final day.

Again, where do you see that because I can't find a single article that says that. Help us out here.

I think you're projecting on a lot on this case. This guy didn't shoot or threaten anyone, he didn't rob at gunpoint. he apparently did not have any weapon. So it was really very little in common with your story. You can't possibly think the police killing was justified and is the way to go for this type of crime.

People act like property crimes don’t matter. If you are running a store to support your family, people stealing from you directly affects your ability to house, feed and educate your family. Stealing someone’s car can be stealing someone’s livelihood. It matters.

Nice straw man. No one said property crimes don't matter, but rather that an unarmed shoplifting at the mall doesn't merit a death sentence.

If he had shoplifted and then stopped immediately when caught, he would not have been shot. He was shot because he was running away from police after committing a crime.

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.

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

Another reason to stay away from Tysons. The mall cop is trigger happy.
