So you want the cops to put themselves at higher risk for the sake of the person placing them at higher risk to begin with?

You see them put themselves in any risk in this scenario? How big of a risk is he on the ground after being shot? These cops seemed like they were so bloodthirsty with guns pointing at the truck while driving. What is all of that?

Local news guy posted that on his FB. Noble was drunk and high on cocaine.

Well, you know the rest.

I dont like it. I do not like the current system.

I just watched the body cam video, and these cops need to lose their badges.

Gun already in the driver's hand while driving was unnecessary and dangerous. Both of the victims hands were visible at points prior to the shooting and he did not have a weapon at that time. While the victim could have had a gun in his waistband at the small of his back, he was moving very slowly when approaching the cop and holding his back arm very still. There is no way he could have pulled a gun and shot the cops before being mowed down.

Finally, there were two cops. One of them could have moved to off-screen to the left to obtain a view of the victim's hand behind the back without either endangering the other cop or any innocent bystanders. After confirming the victim had no gun, one of the cops could have swapped the gun for a taser or billy club and arrested him without the use of lethal force.

Understood, but could you answer these questions then:

1. At what point is the police off sir allowed to shoot him? Does the officer have to physically wait for the subject to shoot his gun?

2. I'm confused about your bigoted statement. Are you saying I am bigoted or that the cops were? And if so, how?

1. The officer needs to wait until there is an actual danger. Here, they could have easily shot the victim at any point he made a sudden movement with the hidden hand or a sudden charge.

The cops are just as crooked as the rest of the scumbags in that shithole. This isn't any old beat cop either. This is the second in command.

The old law enforcement mantra of to assist protect and serve has been replaced with shoot, kill and lie.
