- ChromaticPanic 9mo agoNope, but executing law abiding citizens in the streets is
- TrnsltLife 9mo agoNeither of them were abiding by the law. Nor were either of them executed. Such hyperbole.
- 0dayz 9mo agoAbiding the law? What law did they break to constitute being shot dead on the spot? Or do you now support vague charges like "obstruction of justice"?
- kreetx 9mo agoOne person showed up with a gun, the other tried to flee (or run over) an officer. Wold you as a police officer always behave perfectly in any urgent situation?
- dannyfreeman 9mo agoIt is famously against the law to own a gun, and carry it with a permit in the United States.
- kreetx 9mo agoIt's famously peaceful if you carry a gun to a protest and it famously drives no officer around you even more to their edge.
- DangitBobby 9mo agoMy man loves that boot.
- kreetx 9mo agoIf only take sides and don't make any actual arguments, then unfortunately you won't convince anyone either.
- DangitBobby 9mo agoCops can kill at will isn't something that needs to be argued against.
- kreetx 9mo agoCops can kill if they have reason to believe that the other will kill. Look it up.
- DangitBobby 9mo ago"at will". They aren't going to give you a medal for how far you can bend over.

- solaris2007 9mo agoThis kind of made up bullshit makes you look like a total lunatic.
- 0dayz 9mo agoKilling your own citizens is.

- mmustapic 9mo agoCarrying a gun, or fleeing, is not punishable by death. In any decent country, of course.
- kreetx 9mo agoThese were accidents, not court proceedings where you have weeks or months to think things over. My prediction is that if you investigate them, then in the case where the woman was trying to drive away, the officer likely has no fault at all, as the drive may have easily be interpreted as driving towards him. On the armed protestor occasion, there might be some fault as the gun seemed to have gone off unexpectedly. But it won't be punished too hard, if at all, as the victim was actively escalating the situation. These weren't punishments ("death sentences" as someone else called them). These were accidents where the victims themselves were (mostly) at fault.
- DangitBobby 9mo agoI'd forgive you for thinking they were accidents if you hadn't seen the videos or heard them described to you. They were cold blooded murder.
- kreetx 9mo agoI did see the videos, that was what made me come to that conclusion. I don't need any forgiveness from you. You should forgive yourself instead, become part of the grown-ups!
- sentrysapper 9mo agothey way they are going about it very much is. update your understanding.
- jpitz 9mo agoActing without due process is oppression.
