If I believe there’s a mountain lion in my backyard whose soul purpose is to eat me, I’m sure as frick not walking up to him draped in catnip and slap the frick out of him. Yet here we are

She should be held accountable. Most people would agree with this.
Then we are saying the same thing. I'm not suggesting that he was innocent. Only that his actions should not have resulted in his death in this scenario.

Did he steal the air fresheners lol

you are right but you are fighting a lost cause with the folks on this board.

The cop fricked up and it resulted in his death. How do you not get that.
If she grabbed her taser, he would have been zapped, subdued, and arrested and we would never know his name.
And this is why we have negligent homicide (manslaughter) laws. No way did she commit murder, based on the footage I've seen. Did she mess up? Oh yeah.
It would be interesting to see how long exactly she'd been with the force, how many arrests she'd made, etc.
Not to mention, policing, unfortunately, isn't exactly a profession for women. Sorry, but not sorry.

100% agree.

I think she's 20+ years on the force.

Again, she should be held accountable for her actions.
We can Monday morning QB this all day long. It is not going to change the fact that if he doesn't do what he did, he would still be alive.

That's quite the rant but it doesn't excuse a police officer incompetently mistaking a Glock for a taser.
She will be disciplined, likely loose her job.
However, how you can say that this is a 100% her fault is wrong. Until society holds this brain dead idiot more accountable and teach a segment of society at fault then it will continue to happen.
Plus cops are horribly trained! I have said it 1,000s of times. So instead of sinking money into blighted communities how about we start training cops better so they don’t make mistakes like this?

Wow. I guess I don't know exactly what to think there. Maybe that's evidence that women don't belong in the policing profession. Maybe, if I'm even more objective, I might think that this particular individual is just easily excited and lacks composure and cool thinking under pressure.
Hard to know with the limited facts available.

No one is arguing otherwise. However, there must be some blame placed on the officer. I doubt there was any malice involved in this incident, but she committed an egregious mistake that she now must answer for.

Absolutely agree with you on this.

It absolutely blows my mind that so many people in this thread are blowing right on by the real problem here and are focusing on the police officer.
The real issue is hip hop culture that sees resisting arrest as a point of pride. Fight the police in court, not in the street.
This guy (I refuse to call him a man because his many actions don't show that he was a man) is dead because he was a violent career criminal with a long rap sheet who decided to resist arrest because he didn't want to go to prison. His dumbass actions put himself in the position to have an altercation with police.
Had he stepped out of the car with his hands up, allowed himself to be cuffed, and gone to jail because he got caught doing dumb shite, he would still be alive.

I absolutely do. I don't make excuse after excuse for certain people when they frick up like you do.
I'm also not scared to point out when people frick up. There are many on here that won't do that.

This is the balance we can't seem to find, because liberals have turned literally every decision every person makes into a decision that's based on race, lol.
This is definitely unfortunate and somewhat tragic, I suppose. Dumb bastard should have simply complied. To relieve him of any responsibility of this is to say that black people are incapable of showing up for court.
However, there are over 10,000,000 arrests (I think I quoted 12m in an earlier post) each year in the US. Roughly 2,900,000 of those involve blacks being arrested. a little over 300 of the arrests involved a police officer killing an UNARMED black suspect. We don't yet know whether Duante had a gun in the car.
So, doing a little East Texas figgerin', this is a 0.01% rate.
Policing in America is 99.99% safe for black Americans, which is on par with the COVID vaccine calculus. If you factor in only the arrests where the black suspect resisted arrest, you're pretty much at 99.99999% safe.

Cause / effect....and why this isn’t being taught to this segment of society blows my mind! Fight the issue in the court not the streets and by all means don’t glorify these actions!

There are 2 very serious issues that need to be discussed here but of course they can’t be discussed objectively because wokeness and shite.
1. Putting women in dangerous jobs that are clearly better suited for men.
2. African American gang culture. High school dropout, has a kid at age 15, multiple arrests before the age of 18, no respect for the law, resists arrest and tries to flee from police.
In this situation the guy ends up dead because of his actions combined with a woman trying to do a job that’s meant for a man.
The end result here is 100% due to leftist, political correctness propaganda.

I don't know why people keep repeating the line that he was resisting arrest as if it's some kind of gotcha. Was he an idiot for resisting arrest? Yeah. Does that excuse the officer for killing him by mistake? No.
He had an outstanding gun warrant.
The officers could not see his hands.
Oh well
