I'm just saying if Forcillo shot Yatim before the taze or once after when he's still moving aggressively, it would be justified

but he shot out of anger

oh i know thats what im saying just becasue its a legally permitted weapon doesnt mean its not a threat
hell they likey go to ranges or practice with it got training and are more of a threat then some random person with a gun
znick is maknig it sounds like becasue it was a legal gun it wasnt a threat... if the guy reached for it legal or not a gun is a gun and a very large threat



the kid coulda dropped the knife and got arrested hes the retard that goes on a public bus with a knife and then walks towards police wielding it as a weapon
you really are trying to defend a kid that goes onto a public bus with a knife? yeah he got shot its unfortunate but lets not forget everything leading up to that point
and tazers dont have infinite range maybe they felt to be close enough to taser was too big of a risk of being stabbed

Agree (90%)

And all im saying some of these cases in the us have been anger or fear and not necessity

but the cases your using as examples are really bad becasue they did the right thing imo
if you stop acting like all these people that got shot are innocent victims and realize the situation its not as clear cut as you act

im not acting like its clear cut, but i dont think running from a cop or even resisting arrest (for the guys who were unarmed) are worthy of being shot and killed.

I think police are entirely too quick to resort to their gun.

I've given up trying to argue all the constant racist shit on here.

Ugh. Complacent just like the rest of your kind.

Forcillo was charged to sate public outrage. He was put in a no-win situation and unlike most police shootings in the US, acted according to his training. It's not fair Forcillo's life is ruined because a kid decided he wanted to commit suicide by cop.

You're back to the old dx now eh, just trolling everywhere. It looked like you were making progress for a while there. I am disappoint.

I was on the other side when it first happened

but Forcillo was not justified in his actions.

You don't shoot someone 8 times especially between a taze
