They could be trying some reverse psychology. Potential protestors see the cops predict civil unrest, they remain calm just to spite the cops.

Definitely careless by the cops, but the POS fled in a STOLEN car and then on foot. I could not care less that he's dead.

We really need to change the laws in this country. If you assault a citizen or officer with a deadly weapon, then run, it shouldn't matter whether or not they chase you down and kill you at that point.

How about not crashing head on into a police cruiser. Could've easily killed that cop doing that.

There is just such a huge disconnet between what criminals think they should get away with and how officers see the situation.

maybe i'm being too naive here but... throughout this whole cops vs the people shite show my opinion has been, "why aren't people just doing what the fricking cops ask of them?" if you give them no reason to suspect you of being guilty, comply with what they ask of you, and follow directions, i find it very difficult to believe they will go around shooting citizens. 
if i'm wrong, someone please explain it to me.

The way the media reports this shite is horrible. They pretty much lead in with "police shoots unarmed black man". That makes it sound much different than reality. "Man shot by police after running stolen car into a police car after being chased by police".

Their departmental policy specifically prohibits shooting into a car if the only weapon is the car.
Sounds like you're arguing something that doesn't matter.

Honest question, I'm not a lawyer but per Tennessee v. Garner shouldn't this be ruled a justified shooting? Suspect rams a cop car and than flees, the suspect has already proven lethal intent or am I not understanding the case correctly?

That was nice of them to release these tapes for the weekend, so it won't disrupt any rioter or looters' weekday work schedule.

You sound like an idiot.

because they are criminals trying to get away and resist arrest. All of them were committing a crime and resisting arrest.
The problem is the intelligence of the BLM protestors...maybe just maybe one time they will come to the defense of someone who is deserving of it instead of backing all these criminals that were resisting and fleeing arrest

How is ramming a cop car with a one ton vehicle not considered a weapon? Is that not more dangerous than wielding a knife?

That's the problem in most of these cases. The police are not just going up to people and picking fights with them then claim they are resisting arrest. I know the police, like everyone else, isn't perfect and there are mistakes that are made, but there is usually something that causes an interaction with the police in the first place.
If someone is stopped or confronted by the police, if they don't have an attitude with the police, show a little respect and just let them do whatever they need to do.. Even if the stop is questionable, it serves no purpose to argue with them, etc because that will only make the situation more and more tense.
But like I mentioned, most of the time, even if the police might not have used the right procedures, there is usually a reason why that person is engaging with the police in the first place.
