Just saw this vid LINK from the other angle and it looks like they pull a cell phone out of his pocket not a gun. If it is a gun it's tiny - like really really small.

The protestors are planning an economic boycott of the Mall of Louisiana


Meanwhile, mall of Louisiana vendors are celebrating.

Why do we call have to pick a side?
Both parties were in the wrong. Even if they were within the law to use lethal force it doesn't mean they should have. I understand it's a split second life and death decision but shooting him seemed unnecessary

Have you seen the new video?

You can clearly see both cops draw then you can see howie lake grabbing the TPOS gun side hand then yell he's going for the gun.

Watch it idiot.

Keep in mind lake only has one hand available as his gun is in the other.

You cannot control that guys arm with only one hand.

It looked like a small "Saturday night special". Like a cheap revolver.

If the Perp had put his hands behind his back and allowed the cops to handcuff him......would he be dead?


Apologists for perp jump in.

If you answer honestly then you realize the cops are not the problem.

Subdued him using non lethal force, he's lying on the ground with two grown men on top of him. I'm assuming these police officers are trained in things like that, I don't know exactly what because I'm not a police officer

Screen shot it. That's right, you won't be able to because you made it up. You can't even see the gun that the other cop pulled because his partner is blocking that view.

I do wonder why the police couldn't keep him pinned at the car.

I would rather cops not hesitate to use deadly force when it comes to protecting themselves or me and mine.
