I think what most of everyone is fishing to realize is that the first me see this week. The dude was clearly resisting arrest in the video. His rap sheet coupled with the fact he has an illegal gun. And he's struggling on the ground... How are the cops exactly to be blamed?
The cafeteria worker. Informs cops he has a legal gun and carry permit. And before the officer asks to see his credentials he tries to grab them from the console/pocket...cops are trained to use force in those scenarios. It's unfortunate someone dies but common.

Officers are not trained to shoot when someone reaches for their dash.

Officers are actually not trained to shoot unless their is a credible and immediate threat to them or a civilian. the shooting is not justified until the gun is in his hand pointed at some one.

That's absolutely not true in the heat of the moment and most investigations uphold perceived threats as credible threats.

The cop fucked up in that case, but the guy who pulled the trigger in Louisiana after his partner screamed "GUN" was completely justified. The partner, on the other hand... you don't scream gun unless you think the guy is going for it.

If the guy already has the gun in his hand pointed at someone that person is dead if you shoot him.

Not in canada, i have had a long conversation about this with an officer who is part of the training academy in toronto. Just after the Sammy Yatim incident.

And if US officers are trained to shoot when ever they think there is a threat to them thats just fucked up...

And if canadian officers are trained not to shoot unless the other person has a gun in their hand and pointed at someone then that officer is responsible for the victim's death.

you can't just kill someone before they even have a weapon in their hand because you think they might be going for a LEGAL weapon they already disclosed to you.

the test is a clear, present and credible threat.

someone grabbing their gun would probably qualify, but not someone reaching for their glove box after they have disclosed that they have a legal weapon and permit.
