If some police officers (and I said some, I am not anti-police), I am usually a supporter of law enforcement, want not to be seen as trigger-happy and racially biased towards minorities, they need to stop with the excessive force.

Stop with the excessive force. Shoot only if there is a target, not excessively.

It only gives Colin Kaepernick, NFL, and Black Lives Matter more ammunition to vent and unfairly target other police officers.

Just saying...

Every single one of your threads starts with the qualification “I am for {insert right wing policy here}, but.....

What are really important take away from this post. You could have just admitted to yourself that this subject makes you uncomfortable and you'd like to blame the black guy but instead you just go straight for the poster because you know you can't blame the black guy

All the articles I've read say he was shot at 20 times. All of the headlines say shot 20 times. Stop falling for the clickbait.

Supporting good officers is right wing?

Do you want another Dallas/Brooklyn shooting?

They had to fire 20 rounds to neutralize the perp? Sounds like they could use some target practice.

I’m pretty sure cops are trained to empty the gun into the perp once they deem force is required.

It's sad that you can't bring yourself to say "cops killing unarmed teenagers in their own backyards is bad" without adding "because it gives BLM attention"

I don't like to see people shot or choked or beaten to death when they are not armed, not resisting, and trying to comply. And there have been several incidents of such cases in recent years which have played huge roles in all the #blacklivesmatter demonstrations and protests.

But this was a man who - though he was in his own yard at the time of the shooting - was not in his yard at the time the police initially encountered him, was running from the police and climbing over fences from property to property, and was not complying with the police's orders to stop.

You just got to learn that when you run from the law, and hold objects in your hands, you place your life in precarious circumstances. It's not the responsibility of law enforcement to place their own lives even more in harm's way by giving people who are resisting and running extra lenience and benefits of doubt. Those people lose their benefit of doubt when they run from the police.

Now, IMO the police didn't have to empty their guns into the guy. They were able to peek around the corner of the house and see the man was still. They could have put more focus on determining if the man was shooting back at them. If he was motionless on the ground and not shooting back, then stop shooting him....

How long before these kids learn to put your hands up, drop to your knees and not make any sudden movements. Cops are already on edge due to the unknowns of the situation. You do anything which can be mistaken for a threatening action and you gonna get shot.

Is this the same little snot nose young prick that started a thread a few weeks ago saying he was a 2nd amendment supporter but loved him some high school kids gun protest?
The same little worm that started a second thread, got his teeth kicked out by poster after poster while he was mining for love from the fairy leftist crew and then his thread was wacked?
Yea, I think this is the little crybaby that got his 2nd thread wacked when no one could understand he was pro 2nd amendment and pro skyscreamer bitch.

fricking anecdotal evidence bullshite

There are over a million cops and only a handful of these stories a year to gin up outrage.

If there was a significant problem there would be 10 of these stories a week.

The bigger problems are bullshite leftist promise programs and letting illegal criminals roam free.
