yeah -- after appearing to reach for a weapon, which is a huge no-no.

yeah, agreed. infact this was the first thing i said in here

I think the cop wanted to shoot him, he was just looking for an excuse. The forgeter is in full body armor and he shot him because he was "concerned"? I don't think so. The yelling doesn't help a scared individual cooperate any better either. My overview is that this was poorly handled and could have been done better but the outcome is the outcome. Appearance of a threat is a very subjetive and scaleable argument, his hand barely reached his wasteband before the officer was all guns a' blazing. If movement as simple as that is cause of such a quick and reactionary response, then you have no reason to feel safe with the police when cooperating.

So it would be worth it to look at the reasons why our country's police departments tend to resort to lethal force far more easily than others, right?
pefu19:
how was he supposed to crawl toward the cop with his legs crossed with his hands in the air
plus he looked intoxicated or on drugs so what the cop told him to do was super dumb
i hope the cop dies
