OMG you people are stupid.

CLEARLY you were suggesting that police are trained to go in and find a crime every time they had an interaction with someone . THat isn't true. THey are trained to expect the worst in terms of reaction from the people they are dealing with. It's nothing different than in the military. You plan for the worst, and hope for the best. That isn't the same thing is being out looking to frick over every person you meet and charge them with a crime regardless of circumstances.

Sadly, you perpetuate the negative cop stereotype perfectly.

It is not up for debate whether or not the country is over criminalized. It is.

It is not up for debate that police departments have arrest and ticket quotas. We know they do.

It is not up for debate whether or not cops can use the insane number of unjustifiable laws and ordinances to fulfill the arrest and ticket quotas, or assert their "authority" over someone because they don't like them, or they gave the cop attitude. These things are established.

I can see both sides to what you're saying and mr carton is saying and I feel both ways about the larger issues

But in this instance he shoved and ran. Whether he was complying or not he stopped but turned in a manner consistent with someone shooting behind them

Justifiable because most people would've done the same damn thing

There is a consistent theme with these publicized incidents (not here though) where I felt the cops escalated the situation such as Alton sterling, dude in New York and I think the cop in in MN was just poorly trained and then there's the woman who knocked on the window and got shot

Police need to also understand that sometimes when people approach them it's because they may be in danger or urgently need assistance


However in this one, the poor son of a bitch got himself killed
