Also, how many times have the apologists bleated out "BUT! BUT! IF HE'D ONLY DONE WHAT THEY WERE TELLING HIM TO DO, HE WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN SHOT!"?
Well?
This man did exactly that.
And.
He.
Got.
Shot.
Anyway.
And anyone who ever believed that line of BS in the first place (and there are a ton of people here who have posted exactly that over and over) needs to look in the mirror and realize how gullible they are.
It's one thing in this particular situation where a guy was fully compliant with the officer, and getting shot, than a suspect getting shot because they didn't do what an officer told them to do.
In this case, the cop looks to be completely at fault. But when a suspect does not follow a cop's instructions, the shooting can be justified and warranted. Trying to compare the two is ridiculous.

Does that include those folks who get stopped..ordered to show hands inside car..or told to exit care..then when asked for ID and they reach for their ID..Get shot/killed then demonized by the public?? Yep..That's about the size of it
While those who call out bad actor LE officers..constantly get called leftists..thug sympathizers..etc and so on..BUT even when an officer does obvious wrong things..THEY get a VAYKAY and Taxpayers payout the $$$ on their behalf.. THAT is what is so unfair to everyone..including taxpayers and those victimized by unprofessional, irresponsible LE officers..who most likely move onto yet another Police Department.
Do they even VET these people? How does irresponsible behaviours get submarined from hiring agencies? I know of many cases when Physicians have gotten barred from practicing in some State..So move onto another..and pull same reckless stuff..and folks say??/ WTH?? It's poor vetting..poor tracking of any professional who can move State to State following Problems.
Hey IF they can do it..Is there any wonder predators..serial felons can move STATE to State..without any problem..WHY..POOR communications from State to State!!
Realize it's getting better..but when so many innocent lives are at stake..WHY can't they coordinate better..Post 9/11 Better communications occurred..WHY not anybodies record to follow them as well? Whether it's Fired COPS or Felons or merely tax evaders!!
Cop thinking: Nice! I get to shoot a today.
Now why is this guy trying to stop me from shooting him?
Let me shoot this guy instead.
It's been a while I went on a vacation.
Bam bam...

Reason: language
Getting shot and killed for simply not complying with an officer is wrong.
Take a look at this video... This man didn't comply with either cop and managed to not get shot, which is good, in my opinion (not condoning the man's behavior, just saying he doesn't deserve to die for his actions). I can take an educated guess and assume the same precautions wouldn't have been taken had the man been Black.
The fact that 98% of your posts scream racist shows me that you are indeed one yourself.
The issue here is not as much a racist issue as it is an issue with properly trained enforcement officers. Yet, the ONLY points you have attempted to make are to bring up racism. When will you learn that this will never allow our society to stop being at odds with each other?
It's a race issue when a White cop shoots a Black man who isn't doing anything at all wrong. Don't be dense.
