Armed black teen shot and killed by police

[Ipquarx]

Yeah let me shoot this guy while I'm unconscious.
or being tazed
or in a state of great pain

well obviously you can't shoot when you're unconscious but there are ways to avoid a tazer shot and yes, you can shoot while in a state of great pain.

put yourself in their shoes and see if you are still thinking clearly enough to consider just wounding the guy.

I would have just wounded him.

The point is that statement was stupid.

And try shooting someone after being hit in a vital and tell me how that works, lol.

[Nonnel]

why did they say he was black

[Slammer1337]

I would have just wounded him.

let me reword that for Cheese:

if someone all of a sudden pointed a handgun at you and threaten to kill you for whatever reason you're unaware of, and you were also armed, what would you do?

why did they say he was black

because hurr durr Ferguson incident

If anything he went easy on the cop.

If he was holding the gun out towards the officer he would have a lot of time to shoot before the officer could act.

why did they say he was black

because thats how the media treats it

[HellHound]

Umm

They could've made a shot that wasn't lethal?

Maybe in the arm?

Even the arm or shoulder is a lethal place to get shot because there is a major artery running in your arm and shoulder.

This. The officer shot and killed him before the officer was shot and killed. I don't think there would have been any nonlethal solution in this situation.

is it that easy to aim a gun under a life threatening situation?
tbh i'd just put the gun up and shoot somewhere if it was me

Wasn't Andrew Jackson shot right next to the heart, but he still shot a guy to death while the bullet was in.

Andrew Jackson was loving crazy and indestructible, ordinary people are not.

[tnatsissA]

i'm sick of drama in general can we stop sensationalising murder

[IkeTheGeneric]

I just said what I'd do.

Sure, you know exactly what you would do while rationally thinking. In the heat of the moment, you can only think for a split second. There's no telling what you'd do.
