Second guess all you want but people are arrested often that are armed. You wanna get your hands on them and gain control as quick as possible if the numbers are in your favor. If they go for their weapon you disengage, create distance and fire

This is only the beginning. The eye will be on Baton Rouge for the next few weeks.

I don't understand what the argument is anymore. A 3 page criminal, carrying a weapon (which I dont think felons can do), was given every opportunity to comply. Knowing himself armed, and black, he chose not to. Cops still gave him a verbal (clear as day warning) once they keyed on his firearm. He still didn't comply. The shot him. The world moves on
Exactly.

They weren't wrong in shooting and the 2nd video proves it.
If he wasn't black, then it's not a story. I dare anyone who is in those officers shoes to say they wouldn't have used lethal force. The perp was going for his gun, end of story. They gave him an opportunity to end it peacefully, and he kept resisting. Bad choice.

Has the new view video been talked about here? Dude is obviously trying to get to his gun. It's on WBRZ and WAFB.

They better not fricking riot Saturday night downtown. If they ruin my wedding with this shite, my future wife might add a few more to the body count

So they should have allowed a man with a gun to roam freely about the parking lot and asked nicely until he decided to comply? You're a special kind of stupid
Dead God you people are insufferable and clearly capable of minimal critical thinking at best. Who has suggested this? Have you seen the original video? They're close enough to take him twice and he doesn't move. Pull out your gun control the situation from where you stand.

This image is completely the mindset of all the people that will be out rioting tonight.

I'd like to see the video from the 2 body cams that were knocked off. There should be a recording leading up to them getting knocked off.
Or have they since accidentally dropped in a cat of acid?

There's another one. He never said it would cause calm. In fact he said guns drawn until backup arrives, so he actually assumed it may not cause calm. But again, you made up in your head something he never said...again.
You should read before you post. You're really bad about jumping in the middle of conversations, without context, and posting stupid shite. I get it may be your schtick, but you look really dumb.
The guy said earlier that tackling the guy needlessly escalated the situation while drawing on him wouldn't have done so.
I.e. Drawing guns wouldn't escalate the situation as much. If you really think tackling a guy will escalate a situation more than pulling a gun you may actually be retarded.

Two big cops on top of ONE guy... It looks like they had control of him... And I didn't see the victim have a gun.... BUT the dude should have not resisted in the 1st place... he did because he has a record a mile long and didn't want to go to prison for being a convicted felon carrying a gun... But yet the Momma and the kid CRY like babies making it sound like this guy was a perfect human being....

The officers were told that the guy was had a gun. When they got on scene, they didn't see the gun and they clearly saw his hands. It is perfectly acceptable for them to do what they did.

Watch the video in that link. You will see they didn't have control of his right arm, and you will see that he did have a gun in his right pocket.
