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

[Frequency]

whatever the case is, officers should be nerfed

seriously, I think officers should be outfitted with rubber bullets to lessen the likelihood of killing someone

I mean to kill someone, they'd have to make a deliberate effort that way.

Speaking of which did you know 72.46% of percentages are made up!?

did you know that only 5.37% of randomly generated programs will halt

seriously, I think officers should be outfitted with rubber bullets so they're less lethal

There will always be a case where an officer needs to use real bullets, doing this would be putting their lives in more danger than they already are

While we're at it lets put the swat team in Hawaiian shorts and give them rubber band guns

They should carry 2 stun guns and no real firearms

Okay, with Michael Brown it had a reason, But this brother was just running away at a slow pace, that the cop could catch him.

you're an idiot for thinking this is a reasonable response

[Alternat¡ve]

go on...

In literally any case where there is a shooter with a lethal weapon?

Your sarcasm meter is broken

[ZSNO]

go on...

You sound like an edge lord

[Frequency]

In literally any case where there is a shooter with a lethal weapon?

so if officers are incapable of killing someone without deliberate effort, their lives are more at risk?

Your sarcasm meter is broken

I understand you were being sarcastic. it was a stupid point

I could come up with dozens of scenarios. Will you give in to the anchoring effect and say "well that's just one scenario!" I wonder.

Here's one: An officer is patrolling an area that is frequented by gangs. He sees a drug deal going down in a back alley. He approaches and the drug dealer takes out a loaded firearm. The drug dealer won't stop because of a rubber bullet with all the adrenaline flowing through his body, the officer needs to make a split-second decision to fire at and take out the target or they will die themselves.

It was a stupid response to a stupid statement

Uh yes? They are incapable of defending themselves against someone who is armed and dangerous.

resisting arrest =/= death penalty. that's the bottom line.

a cop's job is to maintain peace, and killing people for misdemeanors and minor felonies is not peace-keeping.

this sounds feasible, but would a rubber bullet really be unable to at least stun them in that state?

It was a stupid response to a stupid statement

there's nothing wrong with the statement. rubber bullets are effective in subduing people non-lethally. your sarcasm was a stupid exaggeration.

Uh yes? They are incapable of defending themselves against someone who is armed and dangerous.

no? if they can shoot him, he can be subdued. the only difference is the criminal doesn't die until he gets the death penalty or dies from life in prison lol

there are entire countries where cops don't carry guns at all and they're doing just fine
