The fact is they told him to stop he did. They told him to put his hands in the air, he did, they told him to turn around which he also did. Even if he still had the gun in his hand, which he didn't, it is wrong to then shoot him in the chest.But he threw it away surreptitiously during the chase and the cop couldn't have seen him do it.
But he was unarmed and he did exactly what the officer asked him to do and was still executed on the street.But he threw it away surreptitiously during the chase and the cop couldn't have seen him do it.
I have never been in a situation like that but I cannot understand why the officer didn't tell him to lie down. That lessens the danger if the suspect is still armedBut he was unarmed and he did exactly what the officer asked him to do and was still executed on the street.
I'm sure plenty get shot. Such cases rarely seem to make international news though.Are there no white criminals in America because if there are they never seem to get shot
More white people get shot than black people, but obviously there are more white people than black people in the country. Proportionally, black people are far more likely to be shot, and in particular more likely to be shot when unarmed. This suggests that perhaps black people are more likely to be interpreted as a threat by police officers in the heat of the moment. Or that there are enough racists in the police force to skew the statistics. There are obviously problems with police engagement regardless of race too, as well as social problems that have little to do with the police that explain why black people are more likely to end up caught up in crime in the first place.I'm sure plenty get shot. Such cases rarely seem to make international news though.
He ran the officer ragged first, so he didn’t really do what the officer told him.....because he was armed and didn’t want to get caughtBut he was unarmed and he did exactly what the officer asked him to do and was still executed on the street.
He was unarmed and following instruction when he was shot.He ran the officer ragged first, so he didn’t really do what the officer told him.....because he was armed and didn’t want to get caught
Definitely fucked up I agree, part of a pattern that needs to stop. Did you get a chance to look at that video I posted of Denzil Washington ? He talks about driving around Chicago and seeing gangs of children as young as 11, can’t remember what their nickname was, anyhoo...they’re armed by the gangs and are responsible for a lot of deaths.He was unarmed and following instruction when he was shot.
He should have carried on running in hindsight.
He was also a fucking child mate. 13.
