Those officers requested over a dozen times for the individual to step out of the car, for almost three minutes, in a dark parking lot where that individual apparently did not belong. The suspect heightened the danger for the officers and escalated the situation. Then, the suspect took off in a car at a high rate of speed, further escalating the dangerous situation. At the point of the shooting it is blacked out, so it is unclear what actually happened at that moment. Yet, you’ve chosen to interpret the situation as being completely the officer’s fault. At some point, the issue of people ignoring officer’s instructions over and over and over, and even fleeing officers, needs to be discussed. When did this become acceptable behavior? These people are helping to escalate situations unnecessarily and are contributing to these tragic events. You have no idea how hard it is for these officers to deal with those situations. For every one of these videos where an officer appears to take action that could be interpreted as being unnecessary, there are a bunch of other events and situations where the individual does have a gun or is trying to harm the officers. I’ve worked with law enforcement for several years and I’ve seen the videos. It is a fine line between escalation and deescalation and these people need to take partial responsibility for the tragic outcomes. Whether this particular situation was the officer’s fault or not can’t be determined until the full video is shown and the complete situation is fully reviewed. It’s bs to immediately call out the officer without understanding the full situation.
