The video is just fucked up, I read the kid was on pcp or something don't know if that's true or not either way this is why police have projectile tazeres, that would have been appropriate for this senario... You can tell by how long it took for him to get out of the car and shot he was planing on killing someone before he even got there, I hope they fry that pos

How does how fast he got out of the car translate into him planning on killing someone before he even got there? I'm just curious.

That's the problem. Cowboy cops who believe if someone doesn't comply to all of their demands, they have the right to murder them

This piggy will be going away for a long, long time

No he won't.
He will be dead either by suicide, or shank within a year

The video evidence looks bad for the officer. I try not to convict until I hear everything, so I'll just say it appears to be a bad shoot.

Without relieving the officer of his responsibility, I do wonder how many commands to drop the knife and get on the ground were ignored by the deceased. It's all well and good that the officer be convicted if found guilty, but that doesn't really help this young man. When a cop tells you to drop your weapon, it's a pretty good time to comply...elsewise very bad and very permanent ramifications are sure to follow.

Because he wasn't in any real danger and pretty much hopped out of the car and opened fire, then continues to shoot while he's on the ground....anyway he's being charged with first degree murder so that should say somthing

What exactly do the protestors want? Do they even know? The cop is being charged with murder. The DA pointed out that on average, a police shooting takes 16-20 months to process. So what is it exactly they want?

So they want vengeance, not justice.

So we just skip the trial when you choose to do so and go right to killing. Yet when I suggest it I am an internet hardass.... LOL!!!

I bet you they would lynch him faster than the time it took for the KKK to go get dressed...
