This incidence was the first thing on the "local" news this morning (we live about one thousand miles away). I made some comment about the dead victim having a long criminal record. My wife then said I should see the video before making pronouncements.
So I looked at the video. I saw some person grappling on the ground with the cops and then getting shot.
What you don't do when the cops stop you is get into a fight with them. You might get shot.
The wife said they should have tried to taze him first. They did try to taze him. It didn't deter him. He insisted on fighting with the cops, and now he's dead. A person with a long rap sheet threatening people with a gun, fighting with the cops when questioned, and now he's dead. Good riddance.
I mean seriously, if this were a white person, would you be upset? I wouldn't.
The lesson is pretty clear. Don't fight with cops...you might get shot.
