The incident occurred around 3:15 p.m. after officers responded to reports of a pedestrian on the freeway. Witnesses described the man as tall, dressed in dark clothing, carrying a backpack, talking on the phone, and wearing headphones.

they shot a street protester

:ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL:

Cant really see what happened there, He might have grabbed the weapon he might have had a knife He might have did a lot of things , but I cant tell from video. But remember kids, if you resist arrest, you might get yourself shot. For some reason this lesson cannot be taught to some people, they wrongfully believe that they cannot be shot and killed for stealing a pack of gum or J walking or a minor infraction. Which is true,by itself, but once you resist arrest for whatever crime, you have escalated the crime from J walking to a possible life and death encounter with an armed officer .

For whatever reason this lesson is lost on them . It should be taught in high school . Resisting arrest can get you killed, Period. The crime itself is irrelevant, and independent of resisting, its a separate crime . I do believe they have the ""Mother fucker cant shoot me for stealing a beer""mind set . Which is complete ignorance of the law , Perhaps if they went to school they might learn something.

Oh well, just another victim of outrageous raciest police actions inflicted upon mostly peaceful people.

Think I counted 5 shots. Is it customary to keep shooting as the officer was withdrawing? Looked like he could have gotten out of there with less shots as the guy was pretty much incapacitated after a couple. Not saying I feel bad for the guy on the ground. I mentioned this before but you know why I was never shot by a police officer? I think you know the answer. All I know is if that was you or me in NY, we would have been lambasted because we could have gotten away after a few shots. Our asses would be fried.

Looked like 1, and the perp was still fighting, and then 2,3,4 to me. Maybe he fired 5, not sure.

But this shit begs the question, why don’t we have public service ads to educate these idiots that resisting arrests (sometimes violently) can get you killed? In fact, I rarely ever see PSA’s anymore for anything.

Maybe an updated Miranda Warning that includes: “… violently resisting arrest may result in your being shot and / or killed. FAFO”

Dude would've likely been fed three hot meals a day, hot showers, and had a nice public defender costing tax payer money. Can't get any more luxurious than that.

Maybe even find a flaw in the arrest and sue the police...

He had it all blown away trying to fight the cop... ain't the way to do it.

The penalty for speeding shouldn't be death.

But, try it around dead man's corner in the rain, and it might very well be.

And that's just how the world works.

Self defense too.

If they went to school they wouldn't likely be out there stealing beer. They'd be in a position to buy it instead.

Back in the 80's (and before) it really wouldn't work out well... circa 1981, The XYZ Liquor Lounge, Lakeland, Florida: Guy decides to whoop the shit out of a Lakeland City Cop who was escorting said person out of the Club...well "friends" arrived, handcuffed him to a utility pole and proceeded to educate him on why you don't hit the Cops.

That was also the times when it was legal to spank your kids for doing something wrong... :ROFL:

I tell ya... spanking works... heck, I'm living proof of it.

I agree they should have public service announcements advising people to comply with law enforcement instead of violently resisting and this needs to be re enforced from k through 12 in schools as well.
It may also take away their excuse to riot, loot, burn, murder, and destroy the businesses of innocent people.

It should be that way not only with police, but with the common folk. Just saying.

They are trained to stop and neutralise the threat - however many that takes

Looks to me the first couple did not do that - so keep firing till you are sure

Guy had a taser - could also have a gun

Stop the threat - good call

It's right on. Saw it many years ago. One problem with it, is that it is too long! With Americans attention spans being what they are, the people who NEED to watch that never will. And the short attention spans aside, too many people's minds have been twisted to the point that they would never accept common sense no matter what.

And so, the status quo will remain unchanged.

Looks to me the the very first shot was a complete miss due to an adrenaline fueled discharge. You can see the gun isn't even pointed at the perp and the dust up.

Graphic warning? Nothing to see there since in NY, we have 'seen it all' and we are 'not impressed'.

I don’t know about this “administrative leave as per department protocol” shit, but…….
That scum bag with the taser that died later, should have died more sooner than later.
