Unarmed black man shot dead by police while his hands are up

[BrahPlease]

So now you cant even have your car break down on the road without worrying about cops pulling up and shooting the stranded motorist?

Damn, usa is scary

[thigoonar]

Inb4 usual Misc racists.....

There's no denying it now brah, some police officers are fukked up. A lot of good cops out there too, so not criticising all of them.

[KILLdante]

Anyone know what model that car in the video is? never seen a 4WD that long before.

def looks like an early 2000's lincoln navigator

You shouldn't disobey commands at gunpoint, no sympathy here.

[hermes3893]

Looks like he was reaching in the car but idk. Let's wait for more facts.

Reaching in his car to get a gun and shoot 4 cops?

[BryantVII]

The lady cop that shot was the first one on the scene. I'm willing to bet she got scared when she saw the victim coming to her for help.

[BryantVII]

Reaching in his car to get an *imaginary* gun and shoot 4 cops?

fixed

[Leonydus]

when they say freeze that dont mean keep on walking

[JKLOL]

Are you saying they shot him in order to protect him or they thought an old Black man made a bomb? Either way....

Yes.

[BrahPlease]

Unrelated to this topic, but why does like every article that mentions a cop, even if its a brand new cop...they always say "the officer was a 2 year police veteran" "the officer was a 5 year veteran".... ect....

Da fuq? Back in my day to be a "veteran" it takes like 20+ years....

[TremblingEagle]

oh is it Tuesday already?


anyway police NEED to make it home safe, and there is gun crime in Chicago.

maybe, wouldn't be the first time you *******. i'm reserving my judgement until more facts come out.

even so, just lol. how about you become a cop and stand by idly as some random guy who isn't following your orders goes reaching into his car, see how you react when your life is on the line.

also lol at how I accidentally repped you, thanks mobile. enjoy it.

fixed

officers on scene didn't know what was inside the car IF he was reaching inside. strong armchair quarterbacking after the facts come out.

LMAO commands for what? The guy was asking for help and had guns drawn on him because of bad judgement from officers.

[chacha15]

it looked kinda strange when 3 policeman were walking backwards arms connected.

The new theory is you can do whatever the **** you want as long as your hands are up.

I want more information to come out (particularly a toxicology since pcp was found) but the guy had chances. That's a pretty good distance from where he started leaving (her car) to his car and she didn't shoot till he reached in from what I can see.

No audio from heli though to time out when he was shot.

I can see what you're saying. But military people get called a vets after one honorable tour.

Granted they fulfilled their contracts.

I was on the cops side for all the other shootings so far (apart from Philando Castile). This was a bad shooting, period.

well we still don't even have all the facts so let's not go choosing sides so quickly?

They didn't even find a gun in his car.

In my eyes a veteran is someone who has 20+ successful years in their profession. A rookie is under 5 years.

How dare you speak bad about our veteran cops. We all know they are perfect little angles who can do absolutely no wrong, and are perfect in every way.

Doesn't matter why the guns were pointed at you, once they are, listen to the officers and do exactly as they say.

Just? Fair? Legal? Doesn't really matter when you're at gunpoint.

The story says that the car was running when she found it, and he wasn't around. Then he walked up behind her . He didn't flag them down and ask for help.

source? Because her attorney stated she thought he was on pcp which is why she pulled out her gun.

from the article i read. they found no weapons in his car.

He dindu nuffin

[thorpowers]

Muslims bomb NYC and we can't say radical islamic terrorism, yet anytime a white officer shoots a black man the libs immediately cry 'racism' and 'white supremacy' before all the evidence and facts come in. Last time with Brown the autopsy proved the 'hands up don't shoot' was a lie. The video doesn't look good on this incident, but we need to wait for a trial and all the evidence.

[AlvinDavenport]

So why would they draw guns and go close to the car if that was the case? The husband of the officer that shot him was the one in the helicopter that said the victim looked like a bad man, which is sort of profiling.

Story is already falling apart.

What happens when people ignore commands and go back to their car

I get it. Not disagreeing with you.

I took a flight for work and sat next to an old timer Marine. Turned out he is a retired 3 star general. Let him ramble my ears off telling his war stories for an hour and told him "Semper Fi" at the end. Asked why I never told him I was a Marine before.

"I served 5 years. I don't know in what world I have any experience that would be better than all of yours"

Gave me his gold coin for that. Made my day.
