Cops are fricked. He was absolutely putting the weapon down. You can see how he's holding it(not gripped to fire) and the motion.
And plus. He tries to say "But you told me to put.." and she screams at him again.

This ain't a clear cut case like Alton Sterling that's for sure.


No, they're not. The male cop won't have anything happen to him and the female will likely face some civil bullshite, but that's all. You won't get a jury to convict her of anything.

Right, he even started to say, "you told me to put it on the ground" right after she shot him. He's obviously not innocent in this entire ordeal, but they told him to put it on the ground, he went to put it on the ground and she shot him. She was in the wrong there, too.

no way for you to know that. He had about dozen chances to put the gun down, but he didn't. definitely didn't need to die over it, but its on him. He coulda dropped it the first twenty times they told him to.

People like you are just as bad as people who think every police involved shooting is the fault of the police.

1. The female officer runs right in front of the other officers line of fire to confront the guy. That was stupid.
She yelled out that she was crossing multiple times..

Mike,

That dude had a full 60 seconds to comply. Do you think the situation just automatically diffuses? Of course not, it gets more tense the longer he does not listen to the directions.

second call, a woman outside the Burger King said a man was running up to her car and appeared to be pulling out a gun.


I would hate it, but I would ha e shot him. Then maybe even run him over to get away.

I wouldn’t like my chances of surviving the encounter, no matter what I did, if a cop came up on me while I had a gun in my hand.



the drunk/high guy in the hotel hallway is a good example of it

Complied with what exactly? Heard no less than a dozen drop your weapon from multiple LEOs, do you know how easy it is for a pistol to get turned around in a bad direction. How about you take that chance dumbshit.

They were screaming at him to put it on the ground. He pulled the gun away from his pocket, but did not allow him time to place it on the ground. I thought Danquirs was going to comply.

To me, this looks bad. Prayers to all involved.

Why couldn't they shoot him in the knees?


Because he is holding a gun and could easily turn it on one of the officers.

I can give all these guys some advice on how not to get shot:

1. If a cop with a gun gives you an order, do what they say.

There is body camera footage out there that proves you incorrect.

You can follow their overly complicated orders and still get shot.

Is it me, or was the female cop just repeating what the officer said the entire time. IMHO seemed a little like a training partner.
