Video shows police man shoot fleeing unarmed black man eight times in the back

Are you really this stupid, or are you just being edgy?

I guess a little bit of both

When you can get away with something small it boosts your confidence for the future so what would stop from getting more daring?

For all we know he could have been some child enthusiast who ran because he had children in his basement

The only reason the officer is being charged with murder is because of the stuffty race card trying to make it a hate crime

Are you serious? I mean come on, did you even think about what you're posting before you posted it?

It was just an example pick up a law book and pick a random crime if you don't like it

I still don't understand what kind of point you're trying to make. The man deserved to be shot and killed because he could have been a child enthusiast or Flash Mober under the pretenses that it's possible?

Like I said, predicting crime isn't something that law enforcement does...

Yes

Because if he hadn't been doing something illegal why would he run?

He could have been selling drugs to minors or have plans to rob a bank

One thing is certain he was doing something illegal

This is why the officer is under investigation for murder and you have no agency over it, you haven't the slightest clue what you're talking about

I love how everyone thinks the clear race baiting stuff going on here is perfectly okay but as soon as someone in the media says "Islamic Terrorist" everyone screams persecution

He is under trial because he is white and the guy he shot was black

If it had been the other way around or both were the same race there would be no trial

Officer followed protocol

[Doughboy]

come on America you can do better than this

[IkeTheGeneric]

He is under trial because he is white and the guy he shot was black

Right-o, you're just a bucket of crazy then...

It's moltenkitten what do you expect?

I can understand being hesitant about the Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin and other similar cases. The evidence was not conclusive enough to say whether the prosecuted were guilty or not

But this seems open and shut to me.

The guy is pretty much limping away. He's like 50 years old or something. He ran so slowly. The cop doesn't even seem to attempt to chase him. He just stays where he is and shoots him.
He was stopped for having a broken taillight.
The cop drops his taser next to the guy.
In his testimony, the cop says he 'feared for his life', despite the video showing that the man was running away from the cop, not the other way around.
The cop didn't attempt CPR or to resuscitate him. Neither did his peers.

Yes

He could have been selling drugs to minors or have plans to rob a bank

One thing is certain he was doing something illegal

Which of course means he deserves to be killed. Not even apprehended or put on trial or searched.
The justice system in America operates on the presumption of innocence. It is not the officer's job to presume guilt, it is his job to apprehend criminals and suspects humanely so they can be put on trial.

This is clearly police brutality.

i'm confused, does he plant the taser by him so it seems like the man grabbed it from him?

It seems that way.

I should have read above where you quoted me

You are right
