And for all the cop knew, Michael was reaching for the gun to shoot him. The cop protected his life. After knowing this man had just stolen cigars and had done drugs, the cop didn't know if Michael was in his right mind.
Lol CNN really sucks. They have been proven to stretch their stories too far out of proportion, and flat out lie to their viewers
Since when do shooting him in the LEG or ARM is not enough to stop someone's that's pulling out a so called gun? God Said: THOU SHALL NOT KILL. He Did not say only kill if your a cop and gangbanger
Look im gonna say this and that's it. I don't have all day to troll. Where talking about street cops. Not the military. God Said: THOU SHALL NOT KILL. you seem to be trying to say its a reason to kill when really its not. Have a nice rest of the day.
.-. Am I the only one who thinks the video of the guy stealing five boxes of shoes just walking away and the chick talking to the news or w.e. that literally got hit in the head while doing a interview was hilarious!
Cops are trained to elimate threats not inflict pain. Its against the law its call malicious wounding. I support that officers decision.
Uh no just the thought that out of all things they were doing watching salons on fire, and flipping cop cars that 1 guy was like screw this I'm just gonna go get me some shoes and it's not like they killed her bruh. Plus it's the way she stopped and was like they hit me in my head was funny. Maybe I'm just the type to look at comic relief rather than the bad stuff so sue me for making due with a tragic situation then again Shakespeare has done it many times.
All I have left to say is he didn't need to die. Cops should be trained to detain and disarm. Not kill. Simply speaking instead of aiming for vital parts aim for the shoulder. Don't shoot multiple times unless needed. I mean its a shame that some people die without needing to die. No matter what happened it still doesn't make it right that he died. It doesn't make it right that cops everywhere brutally beat or kill people that don't even need to die. I mean how would you feel if someone you knew who was severely beaten or even killed even knowing they could have been easily just incapacitated for a while. 2 wrongs don't make a right. Even worse I see cops who will ask homeless people to move and if they don't move fast enough cops will yell at them or beat them. With the homeless populus in Hawaii this is a major issue. Its not like they can help being homeless. Its expensive to live here. And what does the government do pass laws that make homeless people pay for the way they live. So in turn they get yelled at and beat. If they had money to live they wouldn't be homeless in the first place. To be honest this isn't even about racism or the kid its about police brutality. Police simply are overly brutal and cops are usually Caucasian. So see that's why it seems racist thats why that kid died. Its because police find it reasonable to overly use force. While that is true in some cases others its just wrong.
Brings people together who have a similar purpose and objective to want to rip other peoples throats out
I agree. You don't need to shoot someone six times to "protect yourself". I think when you aim to shoot someone in the top of the head you know what you're doing. Especially when you've already fired your weapon five times. As a police officer, that's kind of what they're trained not to do.
He didn't over use force. He used escalation of force which is outlined by our govt, state, county and city. He simply followed policies and procedures set forth by his agency. So if anyone is to blame blame the PD not the individual officer. Again people speaking on something they have no clue about.....
If you excuse me, I'm going to assume someone with the username "shoot2kill" might have some existing opinions regarding guns and might be a little biased
