    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.

    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?

    The growing body of work is tough to refute. These last two incidents are ugly.

    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

    this woman's poor child...now that gets me

    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.

    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.
