Another scenario might be your son and his buddy get questioned or pulled over by the police. Let' say your son and his buddy were smoking a Cig (young kid on a bike maybe) or maybe came back from rolling a house, both things they should not be doing. They get scared and take off running. It's ok to gun them down at this point because they are running from a cop right?

I'm glad the cops in your area are all great people and worthy of playing God. I know many on this site that are great men and great officers. I also know some back home in Denham Springs that were the dumbest kids in my class and always had problems with authority and now they are cops. I sure as h e l l wouldn't want one of them to be my God in this situation. Just because the guy was black doesn't make him a Thug or a criminal, come on W. Let's not make this a race issue please, the rest of the world moved on past the race card over a decade or more ago. |

That is why I took the time to pre-face my opinion in the original post with my feelings on most other law enforcement shootings that have happened recently. To make sure you guys understood my usual stance on these situations and explain that I almost always feel like the shooting was justified. But I doubt you took the time to read a full paragraph that I typed. In my opinion this one is way different. |

Treyvon was totally different, he was fighting with a cop. I would never blame an officer for defending themselves when attacked.
Running away is hardly an attack. |

Treyvon wasn't killed for fighting a cop. Michael Brown was. Treyvon was killed by a neighborhood watch wanna be cop.

Both very similar in the fact that the African American Community was calling for the "unjust killers" throats. Even after the Courts and Jurys ruled them Just. Sorry to digress from the OP.

Don't forget he was a "white" Hispanic. Whatever that means

I understand. I am not judging you.
Like I said everyone has their own opinions and are entitled to them. I started this thread to hear people's different opinions and now see the situation from a different perspective due to you posting yours. |

For what its worth, the AP news is reporting the officer claimed "SELF DEFENCE" prior to the video coming out
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — A white South Carolina police officer who claimed he killed an unarmed black man in self-defense has been fired, the city's mayor announced Wednesday, a day after the release of a video showing the officer firing eight shots at the fleeing man's back. |

The cop is screwed big time here. How many times have you watched a "Cops" episode where the cops give chase? Always. They don't shoot the suspect while he's running away. They chase. This was an idiotic act by the cop, and he will pay the price. Oh yeah, and the news media will promote the racial game with this one, problem is...this just makes the good cops look bad. I can't see any reason why he could have opened fire like that.

the cop had no cause at all to shoot the guy but I cant see what that thing is that went flying onto the ground as they separated, did the guy slap a taser out of the officers hand at the beginning of the video? or maybe the cop knocked a gun from out of that guys hand?
either way its still unjustified force used. |

How do you know he was fleeing and not gaining ground for an offensive attack? How do you know he didn't tell the officer "I'm about to run back to my car and get my gun"? Be careful not to confuse your opinion with the actual judgment. |

Where you think he was headin? To the local community center to volunteer and help disabled citizens? Maybe heading to te police station to turn himself in? In all reality he was probably swiftly enroute to the bank to pay his back logged child support!
Worst part out of this whole deal is now there are another 2-10 fatherless African American kids on the streets. |
