This is going to end up just like the idiot DA in Baltimore. A bunch of talk from people inciting stupid behavior and the cops acquitted.

Again, this vid doesn't show anything prior to the tasers already being used.

Normally I would get all tangled up in threads like this, but today I am just going to watch the festivities from afar.

But the comparison above made me .

Sure, but you've got an interesting definition of "wrestle" if you think that is what he's doing in this video.


Dude look at the gif you posted. It conveniently starts right after he lurches up off the ground while they are on top of him. You can barely catch the end of that movement. It's why the cops pulled their guns out. They were going to be perfectly fine with coffins him if he would have stopped fighting back. Then the other cop starts yelling that he is going for a gun.

All the cop on top of him knows is that the guy is fighting back and his partner says he is reaching for a gun. You would wait to see what happened next?

Salmon, lets attempt to have a rational discussion:

Your boy has a gun in his pocket, this is a fact. In the beginning of the video he is being told to get on the ground and is fighting through being tazed...would you suggest his decision to not comply with the officer's commands was a rational one?

Pedophile
Didn't register
Owns gun (illegally)
Points gun at people
resists arrest
cops taze him
still up so they tackle him
Reaches for illegal gun
gets shot

Am I missing something here?

As I said last night, the video doesn't disprove the officers' account, but it doesn't help their cause either. It isn't a good look and I'm not sure how that is debatable. Most people are filling in the gaps with their own opinions of what they think happened or what they want to have happened and passing it off as fact.




Idk how anyone could disagree with this. I've seen the videos from Twitter and fb and anyone pretending like they absolutely saw his arm move is being disingenuous. There's just no way to tell.

Again, awfully convenient the vids all start after the tasing began.


See, perfect example of someone who wants to see something that isn't there so they'll fill in facts as they see fit. You've got no clue what he was doing prior to the start of the video, but you just know the officers were justified.

The underlying problem is that black men have been taught that the police are their enemy and are out to harm them, so their first reaction is to become argumentative and combative. Until the perception of black Americans toward the police changes, this shite will continue.

And this is why they fear police.
It's not just blacks who struggle. Perps routinely struggle when they are put into handcuffs.
This guy was pinned on the ground and was then shot...twice.

We could resurrect the thread where the JP Deputies roughed up some resistant punk...or where those awful police were, oh my gosh, following someone....or the peace-loving Waco bikers, not police record among them, all riled up by those loathsome police, who caused the violence.
