if it appears that way on video, how do you think it looks full speed in a real world situation?




Appears isn't an absolute word. Not sure why you are asking me that, I don't care who was justified in what, whether the perp was innocent, and am not invested in this.

Not even a little bit, but sure, stick your head in the sand and defend it. We've militarized the police and somehow convinced ourselves its OK.

300 pound man who when pinned, tries to reach for his gun to kill them?


This is why people won't take some of you seriously. Did the officers fear for their lives and is the shooting justified? Sure.

Is there any lick of evidence that conclusively shows him grabbing for his gun in an attempt to kill the police officers? No, no there is not.

The officers don't have the luxury of waiting to find out, but you're being ridiculous if you suggest anything else at this point.

ETA: I've seen two videos. If there is a third that conclusively shows something with his right arm, I'd like to see it.

Right. It looked like a straight talk style phone. Didn't seem like a gun to me unless it was one of those female .22 calibers or something


Yeap that's what I see. If it's a gun they pulled out of his pocket it's like a tiny single shot or very very small revolver of the type that women would conceal in the olden days

:30 seconds into this Video

Wrong. A poster said it was clear the perp went to grab the cop's gun. He got a ton of upvotes so he must be right.

And there's no evidence that he isn't either. THAT is the key piece of information for a prosecutor. Reasonable belief for fear of life.

Not sure if it has been posted, but Alton has posted this on his FB before.

Good thing you're not a police officer, stick to being a dumbass, it least you won't be shot by a "single shot" or "small revolver" in the face.
