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?

Being shot while resisting arrest is not “an execution.” 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.

Yes, that pretty much is.

~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.

From FairfaxNow:

(Updated at 9:50 p.m.) A man has died after being shot by police outside of Tysons Corner Center mall.

Frantic police radio transmissions went out around 6:30 p.m., for mall-based Tysons Urban Team officers following a suspect in the parking lot outside of Bloomingdale’s. The suspect then reportedly entered the woods along Fashion Blvd, after which officers radioed that gunshots had been fired.

Criminals actively resist arres in many other countries and are not shot and killed for it--rather, they are just arrested. The US needs a different way to train police. They're trained in quasi military bootcamp style whereas in many European countries they go through YEARS of training in conflict deescalation, etc.

I agree that police are over militarized but the comparison to Europe misses the point that most Europeans are unarmed. WE have a public that is armed to the teeth. So what do you do when you have an armed assailant who is an immediate threat to the general public?
There is a difference between the police violence of unarmed individuals who are, in many cases, pulled over for minor, if not made up, traffic stops and executed. Or individuals who are clearly in mental health crises. Save your energy defending those guys. This guy shot in Tysons was clearly in the middle of a crime. He's not the one who deserved saving.

Most Americans are unarmed. Most Europeans are unarmed, but not all. Not all American criminals are armed.

So you're saying that shoplifters deserve to be shot? That's....astonishing.

If you live in Tysons, you should know that the cop will be prosecuted for murder.

As the law may require, if we’re being honest.

In another countries they are arrested and prosecuted. In Fairfax county ran by democrat commonwealth attorney, they released back to the streets. In another states they are glorified and made a heroes, like Floyd.

Even your poor writing skills show your lack of intellectual capacity, no need to point out the fallacy of what you said. Please don't bother to come back and whine about English not being your first language. It's not mine either, hence my post about European countries.
