This criminal shouldn't have been trying out for the Jamaican Sprint Team and he would be alive and well enjoying the Food, Air Conditioning, and Cable I pay for. Now we're paying for a "just" trial for a dead criminal.

The "What ifs" wont exonerate this cop, "Just that facts Ma'am" (Joe Friday) and that we here in the armchair jury do not have. but I do know this, there better be some hard core facts for justification for shooting someone in the back.

Im all for you do the crime, you do the time, as well the punishment should fit the crime........... wonder what they were having a confrontation about? Was it worth running from the cops or being shot over? We may never know

I read up on it a little and from what I read the man was pulled over for a driving violation. That is why he was being questioned by the cop. I am not sure how much it had escalated between the time he was pulled over until the video started, which is something that will be crucial during the trial.

Even if the suspect had punched the cop's two front teeth out when he go out of his car, as soon as he turned around and began to run away unarmed he was no longer an eminent threat and was off-limits for the use of deadly force.
