And you justify protesting the Castille shooting why? Because his girlfriend said something on facebook about why it happened? Do you know all the facts the lead to it? Do the protesters know the facts?

Yeah the officer had a very tight area to shoot with his partner scuffling with the suspect. I commend him for ending that without harming his partner in the incident.

But I'm curious as to why she pulled though? Did he have a weapon in his hand? I couldn't tell.
I wasn't sure of the backstory though.

Went and watched it again and man that guy is a hero. He basically wedges himself in between a crazy man and a overpowered woman fighting for a gun to kill the bad guy without risking harming his partner.
I'm not sure I'd have that in me to use my own body to create space between two people fighting for a gun.

He had a fire extinguisher he drops it when he goes for her gun.
Seemed like she either thought he had a weapon or the call they got deemed him dangerous enough to have the weapon drawn on sight?

He was threatening people on the bus with fire extinguisher before the police even got there.

Yeah, I'm wondering why she went in guns a-blazin' as well. I don't doubt the male officer was in the right for his actions.

An obvious hate crime by the cops.
Just kidding. Very brave of that officer to be able to shoot so close to his partner. Easily justifiable.

Okay after looking at it again and reading the description of the video the guy was fleeing from police. When the bus stopped and the police was outside the bus, the female officer pulled her gun and told him to not move. He ran the other way, which was towards the back of the bus. It happened so fast, but she already had her gun drawn and she was just chasing after him. It just all happened so fast I am not sure you can really fault anyone other than the criminal.

I do not get why the woman cop drew her gun and just ran into the bus. Where was he going to go.
She should have just stayed on the street.
Male cop kind of had to do what he had to do.

I feel like he would have assaulted the female officer whether her gun was drawn or not.
Posted on 7/19/16 at 2:26 pm to meauxjeaux2
Hmmm... I am going to say good shoot .
Posted on 7/19/16 at 2:26 pm to meauxjeaux2
and that's why women should not be frontline officers or soldiers.

That shooting was completely warranted
not so sure about that. If the female officer would have not drawn her gun immediately and attempted to use non-lethal force that guy would likely be alive today.
She was scared and slow to react and then unable to control a little immigrant.
Sure the guy was having some problems and acting irrationally but she could have asked him what's going on and coaxed him off the bus and onto the street instead of stepping into the bus with her weapon drawn in a position of weakness.
She nearly shot the bus driver, who handled the situation really well.
She was the catalyst to that death, she should be removed from the police force.

From what I've been hearing, dude was dangerous and was fleeing police. Poor tactics? Sure. But I see people bitching that she entered the bus with a gun drawn. Which proved to be justified considering that dudes probably s lunatic considering he tried grabbing an officers gun. That'll only end one way...

None of what you said has anything to do with the fact that the shooting by her partner was warranted at the time. His partner was rolling around on the ground with a suspect fighting for control of her gun.

Yeah, I'm not sure you could make a reasonable argument that he wasn't justified. The female cop should have some 'splainin to do.
