Yet another police shooting of a black man in St. Louis area

[dead0man]

Every cop should have a camera on him and several on his car.  It will make them act better and prove their innocence or guilt when sh**t does go down.

But cops interact with black people by the thousands everyday and rarely does anybody end up shot.  It wouldn't and shouldn't work as a defense (unless, you know, the cop actually was about to murder you).

There is a case in Texas where a black man shot and killed a cop coming through his window during a "no knock" raid on a drug house that turned out to NOT be a drug house (bad information from a crooked informant).  The cops want to charge the guy for murder and go for the death penalty.  The cops are 100% wrong and this man should walk.

The "War on Drugs" is such a endless disaster. It's amazing so many people support it.

While I obviously agree that the war on drugs is bad (mkay), does this have anything to do with it?  Were the three teens that ran from the "off"* duty cop dealing drugs?  That would explain why this kid decided to get in a shoot out with a cop.

And just, you know, FTR, this kid was arrested on weapons charges in June and he resisted arrest then too.  He ain't the angel his family is trying to make him out to be.



*apparently he was being paid by somebody to do a neighborhood watch on his off duty hours, but he was in uniform....so off duty is a bit misleading.

Indeed.  I'm not sure why people keep picking criminals fighting cops to get behind when there are valid crimes committed by the cops to be outraged over.  Like the flashbanged toddler, the guy shot going back into his truck after the cop told him to or the fella I posted about upthread.

Even if the guy was "No angel" that doesn't mean he deserved to die.

No he deserved to die if he was shooting at a cop.  If he was not, then you will be correct, this non-angel didn't deserve to die.

Whitey pro-gun logic: former criminals deserve to be shot and killed and not mourned.

Do I think every former criminal deserves to die, or just the brown ones?

the dead man was not the sharpest knife in the picnic basket
