April 17, 20214 yr 3 hours ago, WhatTheBuck said: I don’t know if that’s accurate. Maybe it was 1 second. Maybe it was 1.2 seconds. But let’s accept that it was .8 seconds for the sake of argument. That’s more than enough time for the human brain to process the fact that he dropped the gun. Why did the cop order him to drop the gun in the first place? Why didn’t he just shoot him in the back while he was running away? Would you be defending the cop if he had done so? I assume you would since you’re defending a cop for killing a kid who tried to obey his orders. Dropped the gun, stopped and put his hands in the air, got killed. That’s indefensible. Did you ever see The Graduate? There’s a scene where Mrs. Robinson slips naked into a room with Ben. Her bare breast is on screen for a lot less than .8 seconds but it was still more than enough time for you to know that you saw Anne Bancroft’s titty. If the athletes on your favorite sports team take longer than .8 seconds to read and react to what the athletes on the other team are doing then you’re probably following a losing sports team. Your analogy is regarded

April 18, 20214 yr 11 hours ago, Biff Tannen said: I don’t especially care if he was armed or not. Did he shoot at the cop? No? Then why is the cop shooting him? Because the cop (like any other person) is not required to wait until the other person shoots in order to defend himself under the law. While I'm not sure of the precise formulation of Illinois law regarding self-defense involving deadly force, I suspect it's something along the lines of . . . as long as the shooter was in reasonable fear for his life, he's entitled to use deadly force to defend himself. The focus in this case is going to be on whether it was reasonable for the cop to be in fear for his life given that the kid's hands were empty and he was "showing" them as commanded by the cop. The cop's defense will focus on the fact that the kid had a handgun in his hands up until a split second prior to the shooting and the cop did not see the kid toss the gun. When I first saw the video, I thought it was a bad shoot for sure Now that I've watched it more carefully and am aware of additional facts (kid had been in the company of another gangbanger who had discharged several shots prior to the incident, kid had a handgun in his possession during the foot pursuit but tossed it less than a second prior to the shooting, etc.), it's a closer call IMO.

Especially to someone who will not be running from the police with a unlicensed weapon. But sure, let’s make it even easier for Lil’ Homicide and his buddies to do hood rat shit.

Should we really give a fuck? Or just canonize the wrong ones? “The victims include 7-year old Heaven Sutton, shot to death selling candy outside her house; and 10-year old Kitanna Peterson, shot as she played in the spray from a fire hydrant. She was treated at the trauma center last week. “They just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time,” Starr said. “They’re collateral damage to some of the violence that is happening out on the streets.” Should we give a fuck? I do not see any protestors giving a fuck. Maybe tiktok will tell us. Or YouTube? Or Instagram? Or China? Since it seems like most folk have no clue that China is in collusion with Russia.

Unless you are a cop and willingly signed up for the job. Then you become unique in the eyes of the law. You have to live up to a higher standard. With great power comes great responsibility.

April 18, 20214 yr Exactly. The argument that it was a good shoot because he thought the kid had a gun in his hand and the kid turned around, faced the officers, and started raising his hand fails because, you know, the only reason the kid turned around, faced the officers and started raising his hand is because that's exactly what the officer instructed him to do.I’m really torn on this one. After watching it several times, I feel like I must be hearing it differently than some of y’all. I hear the officer saying “stop. Show me your hands. Drop it.” Bang. I don’t hear him tell the kid to turn around. Also, him saying “drop it” right as the kid turns would indicate he thought he was still armed. And if he didn’t say “turn around” then I could see how the cop could think the kid was turning to shoot. Maybe I just suck at hearing though. Still tragic either way.

He said show me your hands, but from that position it would have required the kid to turn around. It definitely isn't murder. There was no criminal intent there. But the procedure and commands weren't ideal. I think the situation sucks and I want us to try and learn from it. Larger picture, I do think cops should operate with the default rule to not fire unless actually attacked (subject to approved deviations for certain encounters). Or, at least we should explore implementing that rule. I think either that or simply taking the guns away from most officers (e.g., the UK). When a hammer is your only tool, everything looks like a nail.
April 18, 20214 yr What is wrong with this kid running around with a firearm? What is wrong with him or his friend firing off 8 rounds? What part of ‘shall not be infringed’ does that cop not understand?
