Yeah I wish people would not react so fucking fast. There are SOME people that deserved it. Jesus Christ. ALL FORMS OF EXTREMISM ARE BAD.

Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice, and moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.

And that's why you wear body cams. If the guy really did have a gun, you release that footage and it calms people down. If he didn't have a gun, you can quickly make an arrest and/or suspend the officer while there is an investigation. Accountability is everything.

yeah while I disagree that it will calm the public even if said individual had an arsenal of guns, an rpg, and a crossbow, body cameras should be mandatory and there should be zero reason for them to be disabled while on duty.

that being said, certain organizations actually want filming capabilities taken away from police!

Police were called because Jacob Blake was waving a knife around in a gas station. While en route, dispatch informed police that Blake had an outstanding warrant in regard to his recent sexual assault and domestic abuse charges.

Police deployed the taser and it failed.

Jacob Blake declared he had a gun in the car and was going to go get it. He continued to brandish the knife while disregarding officer commands.

When he reached into the car, officers fired.

Not sure of the validity to this. Just seeing it circulating now on social media. Obviously potential bullshit. Considering it sounds like a completely different story than the original reason police were called

Alright so split the difference with ^santara
It was a knife, not a gun or cell phone
But he was going for a gun so looks like a clean shoot

Was there a gun in the vehicle? I haven't seen any confirmation of this...

Looks like some weapon from prince of persia. Unfortunately our hero didnt have a wall to run along to escape the guards.
