Would you rather them just shot them once in the head instead of 4-5 times in the chest? Which is an easier shot to make?

If you attack the police no once should expect to survive that, you are gambling with your life. Ever hear of suicide by cop?

Yep, meant to protect their their own life.

I didn't say a shot in the head.

One shot on the body and see what the impact is. Probably this is the course in most cases, (how much shootings in the US, yearly, maybe 1.000)

But hey, with these weapens today it's so easy to shoot 5 bullets in 3 seconds and you have in the magazine yet 7 bullets.

Omg, this poor unarmed black teenager! R.I.P.

Racism in police forces isn't local to the US - we have plenty of it in the UK (for example, over 250 complaints of racism were made against greater Manchester police in 2014, and not even ONE was upheld - are we supposed to believe that in all of those cases, there weren't grounds to suspend or punish officers AT ALL? That's over twenty incidents per month). Let's not even get into London.

Police officers just seem more inclined to kill black men rather than detain/restrain. It's legitimized institutional racism with the addition of firearms for all cops that has led us here.

I'm not suggesting the assailant was innocent, just that officers seem to approach situations differently - in some cases subconsciously - based on race.

Yes. Police are racist in the UK. But it's ite because they don't have guns.

WHY?they arent the ones tho decide who dies and who doesnt die lol. Only if they are in a hard situation where their lifes are in danger they should pull a gun but not in other cases.

XXXO

uGh, America is still so racist I can't even. Wish those white cops were publicly judged like this was 1500 and were shot Down as well. Disgusting abusive human beings.

This! They just don't have the right to finish somebody's life because they considered like that. Who the **** they think they are?

This is why we need body cameras on all cops at all times, along with serious legal repercussions for any cop whose isn't activated.

Whether the kid was innocent is pretty much irrelevant now because the cop can tell whatever story he likes at this point.

Killing the suspect is slowly becoming the easy way out for cops. Just shoot them and say there was a struggle and he was a "threat to your life". Boom, instant paid vacation time with the wife and kids.

All cops are scum and America is a literal piece of ****.

This has become a daily occurrence... and don't try to justify it, the police don't/shouldn't get to decide who lives or dies.
