New video out. You can see the gun in his pocket afterwards. You cant see if he was going for it during the struggle though. Its a shame no matter what because i have not known that city to have racial problems like this. I even know the corner where it happened. Just a bad deal all around. IMO I think the cops probably overreacted at the actual sight of his gun and the fact that he was resisting. They were already aware he had one since the call was about him threatening someone with a gun. A woman was just shot near the protest site so that will tell you that its in a bad part of town
The media loves this stuff though. We're going to see a lot of ignorance on both sides. The two cops will be the bad guys to some and angels to others. And while the man killed was a sex offender with a violent arrest record (at least 17 arrests) he'll also be a sweet caring man in the headlines. Certain background info will not be reported because it hurts the hype. How people can rush and defend ANYONE yet is beyond me. If its clearly the cops fault take action quickly (please!) and throw their asses in jail.

Hmm, Sex offender / child molester waving a gun, that he shouldn't have, in a parking lot. Police arrive try to use less lethal with two taser deployments that don't work. One officer tackles him to the ground. Now both are on him and you here "he has a gun" told not to move and is then shot.
Here's a thought don't resist, don't fight, don't be a felon with a gun, don't be a child molester.
You can argue why you've been arrested that is your right. However the place to do that is in court. Cops are always guilty until proven innocent which is a shame since they're out there protecting society from this type of dirt bag.
Now you have BLM out protesting etc. Funny they aren't protesting the 50+ people shot in Chicago last weekend. I guess BLM only when it involves Police or someone that can be sued or when it gets you more media attention.
And I am now going to get back to the thread subject.
If I do indeed go to The Taste of Chicago this weekend... I am willing to bet $1,000,000 I do not get shot by a police officer.
Well if you show up wearing a WINGER shirt Speedy you better bring your checkbook…lol I will be down there all week for the WASTE of Chicago, so hit me up pal. We need to catch up on fishing tales. BTW. Billy Idol is playing Sat. I think

I was thinking of doing Billy Idol. Then my wife informed me that we have my nieces graduation party to attend. So if we go, it will be Sunday.
And for the 2nd year in a row, the perch have disappeared from Lake Michigan. Pretty fucking sad.
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
I am having a hard time faulting the police here. We can't see whether the guy was reaching for the gun or not.
Because he was covered by TWO cops. Gun later found STILL in his pocket. Still image I have seen, theres little chance , if true, for a gun to be removed and situated in a such a way to put anyone at risk much less either of these to officers. The one thing that seems common in many of these shootings, there is a nanosecond of time given to comply.
Frankly speaking in many instances there needs a cooler , more in command of self lead in the responding officers. These guys are way to quick to pull the trigger.

This is what happen when a supposed civil society allows everybody and anybody to have weapons. Guns specifically. You have thugs and paranoid cops and the mix is not a good one. Have not bothered to even read most of the comments as some on this board will blame the cops, the other have the perp and barely anybody will acknowledge that guns in society are not really needed.

been saying it for years ... america has a race and ignorance problem ... but folks too proud or patriotic to recognize what is clearly evident ...
I'm American and have been saying this too. It's easier to see the problem when you're in another country looking in, rather than immersed in it day to day. America has a pride problem, we're the "best" at everything so how dare we look at ourselves objectively and recognize ANY problems?
I have to admit I was surprised when she said it was a Chinese officer. Chinese-American presumably, most likely born and raised in America and thus subject to American culture and norms. All the same, I suppose I would have hoped that his cultural background might have led him to take a different path....
I haven't watched the video and I'm not going to.....however, what she said is about right for now.

Overwhelmed. I started tearing up. This guy's life is ending in front of us. Ugh. Too much.
This is tragic nonetheless but we come into the story halfway thru it...will admit from where it starts it doesn't look good and he was licensed to carry a gun, but in this particular case I definitely need to get all the facts
Yup, absolutely terrible. This really makes me think of the whole gun ownership issue. This guy was attempting to produce his legal concealed carry papers for the cop. So apparently, as far as this cop is concerned, legal concealed carry isn't for black men.

I did watch that one and I just don't know what to say on that shooting. I did see a stat from the video which said they've been 561 police shootings that ended in deaths so far this year.

Wife and I have been talking more the past few years about moving back to Australia. She's become increasingly upset living in the States. It's so hard for her, I can't imagine. It makes strain on our relationship. What am I supposed to say? Yeah, America is a fucked up place to live? We're raising our daughter, expecting a 2nd and worried about what kind of society they'll grow up living in, seeing. I just..it's too much. Too much right now. So upset.
Overwhelmed. I started tearing up. This guy's life is ending in front of us. Ugh. Too much.
Fucking heartbreaking. I just can't imagine. You could hear that dickhead cop in a lot of distress. He knows he completely fucked up. I hope he pays a huge price for taking an innocent life.
