you keep bringing up the fact that he was a " kid" like they couldn't be that dangerous. Do you remember who shot the kids at Columbine high school? ., A kid, two of them...so as far as in the cops mind I'm sure he's not thinking this is a kid so he's not a danger to me..

How many of those criminals got a drop with their back turned in full speed running mode ...?

like I said, there is not going to be justification for this.

Many jobs are not easy, doctor, fireman, policeman, military, but that is understood and accepted when you receive and accept that first PAYCHECK, so if you get those paychecks you should be prepared (and trained) to DO YOUR JOB, danger is not an excuse to think otherwise.

what does a doctor, fireman, military have to do with anything?

First thing a lot of kids born in the video game era thinks they are playing video games in real life , I dont know how many can shoot at full speed but many has played games that shoots at full speed and who said anything about shooting at running speed?

The cop could be chasing and the guy could get to higher ground and shoot back, you just dont know

I know you keep harping on he was running away, but they were responding to a shooting.

that part you seem to not grasp

If the kid stole candy from a store and the cop shot him, yeah I would say the cop is retard and deserves to be charged and stripped of his badge and pension.

Its a list of careers people hold which are not 'easy' to do, but whose difficulty does not absolve them of doing it responsibly. the doctor who leaves a medical tool in a patient doesnt have the convenience of sympathy for how 'hard' his job is. The fireman who runs out of a building without trying to save anyone, does not get to be excused cause his job is 'hard'. and so on and so on. You accept a job, you understand how hard it is first and understand it, you get training and do the job responsibly. Period.

Even if responding to a shooting, it does not. should not give CARTE blanche to just fire at anyone who MAY be associated with the shooting if they are not posing a THREAT at the time.

.


and none of them have criminals shooting at them on a regular basis do they?

Doctors dont arrest patients, Firefighters are not called to apprehend criminals, even the military doesnt arrest civilian criminals

we are not talking about those jobs are we?

oh, so 'my people' meant all black folks? Gotcha.

some of them do, yes, so do some of 'your' people.

Ive never said their job is hard did I?


All Ive said was they have a job where criminals shoot at them, and they've had colleagues and friends who were killed by criminals.

I mean gangbangers and the ones who make excuses for them. You struggle to understand a civilized society.

You struggle to use the term 'civilized' correctly


civilized: having an advanced or humane culture

Humane: having or showing compassion or benevolence.


there are not any gangbangers in the thread, but a few 'uncivilized' by my count ...

You should read Lord of the flies. It might help you understand a little bit better.

And I said its part of the job they are TRAINED and PAID for and does not justify shooting running perps in the back.


I have been sexually assaulted TWICE in my life , by white males, it would be within the law for me to have used force against them for my protection

does that give me carte blanche to use force against any white male that I ever encounter who MAY be thinking of doing the same to me? No. it does not.

and Im not even PAID to know that.

Well then, you should know that teenagers driving around shooting people isn't civilized. But yet, you are struggling to understand. Maybe it's your comprehension.

Tennessee v. Garner,says differently Miss Harmony it covers the whole shooting thing what they can and cant do.

Do you know how many white folks and unarmed that have been killed by police?

there have been more whites killed than blacks, followed by Hispanics
why is it that Asians are not high on the list and Asians make up 5.6% of the population.

They are too busy watching their kids and making them study because education is important to most of them.

I didnt see that part of you being sexually assaulted twice, sorry to read that, but you have to right to defend yourself every time.

would it be the same if the guy was about to attack you and there were reports he raped three others and then broke into your home and you shot him as he ran away? do you think you should be charged with murder even though he didnt touch you but was in your house and fled?

HAAAAAAAAAAAA,,, too many stereotypes to even address

whatever dude ..

but thanks for the TN statute, we will see what the Pitsburgh statute says ...

so IF someone was 'about' to attack me and had attacked others, and I shot him while he RAN AWAY , I should be charged with murder, because he didnt threaten ME by RUNNING AWAY ...
