I don't care if you're 18, 38, or 58, if you put your hand on the firearm of a police officer, you deserve to die. You folks on here that keep puking up these comments about how this police officer shot and killed an unarmed kid are full of crap. I promise you if you were in the process of arresting this kid, who we now know had robbed a store and was going to be taken into custody, tried to take your weapon, you'd would do everything in your power to protect yourself.

Only dumb shits try and disarm a police officer. I lost a close friend years ago who was transporting a prisoner. Guy reached down, took my friends gun and blew his face off. Police are taught to NEVER let anyone disarm you.

Well, if he didn't disarm him and was not in the process of attempting to disarm him, what is the point of shooting him?

If the man was away from the cop and had no weapon that could reach the officer, what justifies shooting him?

Yes, if the cop shot the guy while he was attempting to take his weapon, I fully support his actions.

But if the cop escapes with his weapon and shoots the man after he moves away, I do not.

Does anyone actually believe this kid was standing there with his hands up and the officer capped him in the middle of downtown and the middle of the day? If you do, you're dumber than shite.

I don't know, but if this cop shot an unarmed man who was a ways away from him, I don't support his tactics. How far was this guy from the cop when he was shot?

Did he take a life to defend himself and others or to prevent the man from escaping?

but otherwise it's OK? And no you don't DESERVE to die, though if you do, it is your fault. What if the police officer is just going to shoot you, regardless of the situation...he is going to shoot you...you just stand there and let him? This is the kind of absolute thinking that scares the shite out of me when it comes to cop apologists, not that you're one...I don't know. Can a policeman give me a lawful order to die? Even if he did just rob someone and he ran into a cop, that cop pulls a gun...if you are certain he's going to shoot you, should you just stand there? AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED.

so is it not possible that both the cop and the victim are both TPOS...I don't know, but is that even a possibility in your mind?

tried to take your weapon

honestly the updates are coming faster than I am willing to keep up...is this definitively what happened...who is claiming this?

only dumb shits just stand there when they're about to be killed. You do know cops are people...they eat, they watch tv, they drink, they do drugs, they steal, they murder people...just like everyone else...if I find myself in a scenario where I think someone is about to shoot me...I don't give a shite if they have some cheap metal pinned to them...I'm going for their weapon...

to decrease the likelihood of this happening, I don't engage in TPOS behavior.

Yes he did, he had already responded to a "sick" call and then was informed of the robbery.

And as for your statute, what judge would convict a police officer of shooting someone who tried to take their gun from them.

And none of your fricking bueinsess who my friend was. It happened in MS in the late 80's

Out of control militarization of police is a much bigger problem than just this single encounter...whether that kid deserved to die or not.

If you touch an officers gun, you have no good intention. What other reason would anyone have for trying to disarm a police officer. Everyone knows it's the quickest way to get shot and killed.

I'm not too sure about shooting my dog but if you kick my door in, in the middle of the night, yes you will be shot. What part of that do you disagree with?

How does anyone know what did or did not happen? Has this gone to court yet with the details of what happened?

There's no way to know for sure what happened in the final moments. They definitely weren't by the squad car anymore and the officer did fire the fatal shots separate from the initial scuffle from what I understand. He may well have lost his cool or was in adrenaline state that led him to fire on a fleeing subject who just attacked him. Neither side's scenarios can be concluded nor eliminated as a possibility at this point.

And if you don't get his weapon and give up trying and try to escape, you should be immediately shot?

If that is what happened.

Again, if he shot this kid, trying to escape over $50 worth of cheap cigars, he doesn't need to be a police officer and needs to held accountable.

I just find it hard to believe the way folks have piled on the police force there. Are they perfect no, but when you consider the number of confrontations they police have across this country each day, I'd say there record is pretty damned good.

Also, I'm not sure how people expect them not to protect themselves during these riots. What do you do, stand there while someone has a gas bomb and do nothing? If you build a one of these bombs, light the fuse and throw it, you damned sure aren't just hoping to scare someone. You're trying to burn someone.

I don't know exactly what happened in this situation but I'll just say this...

I was filming Lafayette Parish deputies roughing some guy up one night. They came after me. In their report they falsely accused me of reaching for one of their firearms.

What I'm getting at is I don't trust what the police say one bit.

Would you agree that police officers that perform raids on the wrong house, and kill innocent civilians, or shoot a bystander, deserve to die? Preferably executed in public while in uniform. Gotta send a message.

He didn't...we don't know exactly why he shot him but it had nothing to do with the robbery per the police.

You have to be a cop. The only fact we do know is the cop shot an unarmed man.
