re: Officer captured on video killing Black man in Walmart charged with manslaughter

It’s obvious from a lot of these responses that they have never seem or faced a subject with a weapon That is high.

The perverse part of it all: Everytime something like this happens, Herr Pelosi and the Left get a tingle in their private parts.....not joking one bit.

How fast do you think someone can close a 17 foot gap and swing a bat?

Not fast enough, as Gaige Grosskreutz found out.

A human adult can close a 21 foot gap in three seconds, average. That leaves an officer with three seconds to make a decision that may save their life, or end it. So now not only does an officer have to assess the threat, pull, aim, but they have to aim for a "disabling" shot? One not even assured to be disabling?

Your solution is dumb and you should feel bad for posting it.

Obviously he should have dropped the bat. The dude was high on something. Sad case. But was a death sentence the necessary outcome when he refused to cooperate?

Why are people so desperate to keep shitty people like this around? Wound the bat guy so when he gets healthy, maybe next time he will actually kill someone. Tackle Jacob Blake, so next time he can rape more women and maybe murder somebody. Wound Rayshard Brooks so when he gets healthy maybe he can continue beating his children and eventually kill one.
All of these people made multiple bad decisions to harm and threaten others. The cop made the choice to stop these people and defend themselves and others around them. The cop did not make the wrong decision here, blame the shitty people for there shitty choices in life.

Cops need to expand their training. In some situations they don't need to aim for the core and shoot to kill. Sometimes shooting to immobilize is sufficient.

when you think about this

it makes what Kyle did even more impressive

You have the benefit of hindsight from the safety of your keyboard.

Real life doesn't work that way.

Ridiculous. We need to stop pretending that criminals who are resisting arrest and not complying with lawful orders have a right to do so.
