Seems justified…not sure what libs are bitching about here.

The suspect walked away. The officer should not have put himself in the situation to subdue him by himself. The car was in the possession of the officer, there was a passenger in the car, the suspect was walking away.

Time and time again we see shooting like this occur because the officer feels that his life is being threatened. Control that variable. Make the rules of engagement fit what is actually going on. Call in backup and subdue the suspect with adequate resources and increase the chances that no one gets hurt.

I don’t know beans about police work. Can someone tell me the reason for the tag check on this particular vehicle to figure out it didn’t match?

That said, I am acquainted with a Congolese who is absolutely beautiful—black as my coffee, native French speaker, well educated, very personable kind of guy. A number of us have compared his deep voice to that of James Earl Jones.

K is a law abiding man. Does anyone know why this particular Congolese family considers it acceptable to make a reach for a lawman’s taser? I’m willing to bet that wouldn’t be considered acceptable among agents de police in the Congo.

I wonder if they’d be fussing if any other color man didn’t follow the officer’s instructions, made a reach for his weapon and got shot.

The subject in this video should have just followed instructions as everyone else is expected to do.

Thank God there’s some liberal white savior rage over this. That was a close one.

I seem to recall a number of posts like “if she had stayed home and hadn’t been trespassing, she wouldn’t have been shot”.

Yeah actual black Americans seem to feel differently about defund the police movements:

I remember seeing some commentary last year or so on Wayne Dupree’s website from a black man commenting on police shootings.

I couldn’t post it here as it has some, unfiltered bleeps. Paraphrasing

“Some of the dumber among us are asking’why they killing us’?”

“Well, if I’m pulled over by the police, I’m going to lessen my chances of this by not acting like a ■■■■■■■ moron!”

Absolutely. Cops have tactics. Civilians have emotions.

I’ll check mine. And when it’s all said and done, the lawyers can decide whether or not to check theirs.

So let’s look at the apparent fact pattern here.

Police pulled this individual over for legitimate reasons. He ignored lawful commands, tried to run, resisted arrest, grabbed for an officers firearm, had possession of a taser, and during the course of the struggle one if the officers shot him.

Is that about right? At the risk of rehashing every argument we’ve had about situations like this…if he wouldn’t have resisted arrest and instigated a fight putting officers in a position of defending themselves he’d be alive today.

This is tragic…Mr Lyoya is dead his kids father is gone…the officer who pulled the triggers life will never be the same…

But serious why is this fact pattern so common in these events? I m not happy that he’s dead he didn’t apparently have any kind of criminal record but what exactly are the cops supposed to do? Had the suspect their gun and maybe one of the phones we are giving illegals and beg them not to shoot?

On a related note…

Has BLM burned down a Walgreens or a Wendy’s yet? They haven’t had a good fundraiser in a while…I m sure there are more mansions in LA to buy?

OK, let’s break it all down:

There is NO national pattern of unarmed black people getting shot for the hell of it by evil white racist cops.

THAT’S why we always get videos of these ■■■■ heads going after the Dumb-Ass of the Year Award, because THAT’S the actual reality here.

Sooooooo, ■■■■ that guy. :person_shrugging:

I agree with that. Backup should have been called. He shouldn’t have tried to take him down on his own. There’s always an advantage in numbers.

But I still feel it needs to be pointed out that the suspect in question made some extremely poor decisions. When he went to grab for the taser on the officer’s belt, he made a very fatal mistake.

How about letting him walk away and pick him up later when there are adequate resources to do so?

An officer subduing someone by themselves puts their life in danger and therefore puts the suspects life in danger.

This was a dispute over bad tags on a car.

What if the car itself was stolen?

Always a assume that the suspect is going to make poor choices.

The easiest variable to control is the reaction of the officer.

There was no need for the officer to put himself in danger by trying to subdue a suspect over bad tags on a car.

The suspect walked away and the car was in possession of the officer at that point.

There was also a passenger.

Anyone who will fight a cop for his weapon is a very real danger to the public. So he lets him get away and he takes a hostage to try and avoid later arrest, what then?

Thank you.

I don’t wish for anyone to be shot like that…

And I m sure several genius level thinkers will now tell us all the things that should have happened…

But when you resist arrest and grab an officers weapon you have now put that officer in a position of making a split second choice to defend him or herself.

Stay in the car, keep your hands in plain sight, be polite and listen to the officer. You’ll get a citation maybe have to pay a fine and you can go home and either laugh about or argue about your minor mistakes with your family.

This isn’t that hard.

See I told you the smartest guys in the room will be all over telling us what the cop should have done.

Sure…let him leave in a car where the plates don’t match the vehicle…then what. The officer can’t predict what the suspect is going to do next.

That’s not even an intelligent solution.
