Why is the store owner getting a pass? He is siding with the dead thug. I'm going to boycott his store for sure.

If you care about your life you should never be in that part of town anyway.

The 2nd video posted seems more in depth or possibly strung together differently, because it shows They shoot the man twice, possibly 3 times and then tell him to get on the ground AFTER.. and he's clearly in a world of pain and rises up in agony.. not going for anything.. he's just rising upwards.. and they shoot him two to three more times.


In the second video you can hear the cop plainly say "he's going in his pocket" then it's " gun gun."

And you shoot to end the threat, not until you think some guy on the internet thinks you've shot enough.

Would it be possible to get all relevant videos copied to the OP? At the very least, all raw footage would be easily accessible to those of us who haven't been in the thread all day.

At the very least we could see the two videos untainted by news outlets and have a better chance at making our own decisions on what happened based on the information available.

EDIT: I definitely don't mean any edited videos. I mean the raw footage available as it hit with no editing whatsoever, as best we can figure.

Any rioting going down or is it still just nothing but OT poster v. OT poster going on?

Rioting, no. It's more of a big party from what I've seen. Only like two people care about the dead guy. The rest are all hopped up on purp

stop. If that means you have to shoot until he's dead, so be it, but that isn't the threshold.


No, they're trained to aim for center mass and shoot until the threat is completely eliminated. If a cop is pulling the trigger, it's not to cause minor injury.

You're arguing semantics while basically saying the same thing.

Until the threat is stopped or eliminated

:sigh:

Shooting to eliminate the threat =/= shooting to eliminate his/her life. Sometimes it does, but if a perp is running at you with a knife and you miss center of mass and hit him in the leg and he drops to the ground, you're not going to justify unloading the rest of your magazine from 15 yards away.

Often times they shoot and kill the threat, but they don't specifically shoot to kill. Literally any officer worth a frick will tell you the same thing.

Oh spare me the bullshite.

People get shot by the police all the time and survive because they didn't unload into them.

frick off with that. Every situation is unique to itself and this sure doesn't seem justified (the constant shooting.) Not to this extent.

The 2nd video really looks bad for the police. Looks like straight murder.. a huge overreaction, but we can't make full conclusions off a video.
