This argument will never be won with words. You cannot argue something you've never faced first hand. No matter which action an officer takes, it could always be the wrong one. Suppose Tamir Rice had been a small adult and the weapon had been real. A moment's hesitation could cost an officer's life.

The case of the 16 year old girl waving a knife around that's in the news now. Should the officer have waited until she had killed someone?

That situation just happened in Texas on a traffic stop ... an officer was ambushed without a chance.

Read up on the case of Kentucky State Trooper Cameron Ponder.

There are no set answers.

They get slammed for use of force. They get killed when they don't use it.

Yes, there are excessively bad cops. German Bosque for one. There is also a story in the news recently about an officer in Washington state who has killed several and been cleared in all cases. Most officers never fire their sidearms off the range.
What forum did you come from? Logic and nuance have no place here. Name calling and ad-hominem attacks are the only forms of "debate" that are acceptable here. Want proof? Just read the couple of posts immediately following your post. Now get out of here you Trumper! We only want people who jump to conclusions based on a very small amount of facts, and a large amount of assumptions!

another day, another police execution squad caught on tape, they learned well from their buddies in latin america


So you're basing your opinion on the families reaction. That's pretty smart. Because the family would for sure come right out and say "oh yeah, he had that coming" if the dude tried to run down a bunch of cops. No need for facts, just label the police and "execution squad" based on zero facts and zero evidence.

Lol this post is hilarious! If anyone wants to have a good laugh, just look at this posters posting history. Not only does almost every post by him contain an ad hominem but they all jump to conclusions as well. One also can't help but to notice that he almost exclusively posts in police shooting threads.

The projection is strong with this one!

He's just another punkass bitch that probably flunked out of being a cop but still worships them, dreaming about all the limpdick power trips he could go on.
