Cop shoots unarmed man WHY?

A felony conviction for a police officer however would effectively end their chosen public sector career path.

so would a misd arrest. i was just pointing out that a felony isn't the end of someones working career.

Self employment is a SOB...

I thought most carried tasers on their belt and bean bag rounds in their shotguns in the trunk, sounds like they need more training

They would have done less damage if they had run him down with their squad car and never got out of the car.

Your assumptions are incorrect. I work the streets and don't have a taser or bean bag rounds.

I've been patiently waiting for any LE officers to post their opinion on this one. This is gonna get nasty before its all done. Homie's gonna get paid. For realz.

Wish I could add insight to this one. Video is bad and there is no audio. From what I view, not know what the subject is saying, IMO the video does not justify this deadly force.

I'm not trying to fire up haterade. I am curious why it would matter what he is saying?

If I person says "I'm going to kill you....etc...etc...etc" is that justification to shoot them? Knife or not? Being aggressive or not?

I know that's coming across like a harsh question. I don't have coffee yet, so I'm not close to being eloquent. I just really am curious if that's enough reason.

There is no reason to take a mans life for him saying words no matter what the words are

What if it starts out with "Yo mama..."?

I don't know SEB, if someone told me "I raped your..." They would magically disappear. Different situation though, not trying to argue.
