There is video of the incident 🙄🙄. It would take 1 minute to watch instead of spreading lies over and over to fit a fake narrative

Post a link where he “attacks police with a knife”
Only video i saw, was as he reached into his car was shot in the back 7 times

Whether he grabbed a knife or not, i didn’t see
And he certainly didn’t even turn around with it,
let alone “attack”

But all it would have taken to stop the incident was listening. He didn't deserve to be shot 7 times, but put some of the blame where it should be too.

Police reform 1000% needs to happen.
Get rid of police unions.
Make them get private insurance that is not paid for by taxpayers.
body cams are 100% required at all times
defund police to move some of the money they have for brand new tank style weaponry and defense.
Get rid of no knock warrants.
Get rid of the bad apples. Anyone that has more than 3 counts of excessive force is gone.

Just 2 or 3 of these steps would ease some of the tensions in this country.

People are innocent until proven guilty. Now you have a problem with trials by peers? That’s what court is for. A foundation of our constitution and country. Man you are crazy...
- Fattony1187

I don’t have a problem with a trial at all

Simply pointing out that “arrest” isn’t the same as a conviction

And again,
you’re 100% wrong that the officer was arrested
40 hours later
It was 4 days

DO you see the irony here?

SO the police deserve the jury by peers, but the people they have killed do not.

That's great that you would have waited to see what he had in the car. Your policing career would be very short. Like the politician who thought he could do better than cops, went to a shooting course and shot more innocent "people" than anyone else.

Cops are killed all the time in this same scenario. For some reason Fitz, Gerbe and the like think my life matters less then criminals who put themselves in these situations. Frankly it’s disgusting.

Not “listening” to police doesn’t justify getting shooting someone 7 times in the back

Doesn’t warrant getting shot AT ALL

This take makes no sense. police get killed all the time themselves. if police murder someone they get arrested. if they shoot someone lawfully to protect themselves or others that’s what society entrusts them to do.

If they can’t protect themselves how do you think they would protect you.

Some people are seriously insane. I hope you are never put in a situation when you need help and a cop hesitates because of insane people like you

Its not like there hasn't been countless times that police have been found guilty of planting evidence on the scene to justify their actions.

U can’t just shoot someone bc they MIGHT attack you, especially with a knife

Officer could’ve backed up

Then he’d have had the space & time needed to properly address the situation,
instead of shooting a guy who may or may not have attacked him

OMG. The dude just fought them and had a knife!!! It’s everyone on video!! The DOJ confirmed he was armed! Would you be happier if the cop got killed instead?? I’m assuming yes since you never once posted how upset you were when a cop got murdered. Which happens FAR more then cops killing someone unjustified.

You are a sick person

I've been in situations where i've needed police help, police do matter. But keep thinking you know me and my beliefs.

I've also been in situations where the police thought they were god and had no idea what was going to happen.

Why don't you stop virtue signaling, go take your civil service exam to be a police officer, and show all these cops how it's done? From the sounds of it the city would likely build a statue in your honor.

Yup. You are sick. He already attacked the police. Yes police should just pack up and go home and call it a loss. When they get murdered someone can tell their family members at least the criminal didn’t get hurt 🙄🙄

Again all he had to do was listen. I mean it's not like the guy didn't have a warrant out for him already for a violent crime. He didn't deserve to be shot 7 times, but don’t make it that he doesn't deserve some of the blame in the outcome.

Just bc criminals don’t follow the law,
doesn’t mean Police don’t have to

You chose the job
It’s dangerous, i respect that

Defending some who shoot a guy in the back while he’s reaching into his car (NOT ATTACKING POLICE) or while he’s running away...
well sir, THAT is what’s DISGUSTING

DO you see the irony here?

Go pour a beer, your views on society are as dull and ignorant as your takes on hockey. If you ever grow a pair and leave your lousy life in no mans land and accomplish something...Then your view might have substance. Until then tighten your apron and make sure the ice bin is full.

Bc these protests are NOT about ONE PERSON

It’s about the CONTINUED discrimination & outright racism that prevents the absolute foundation on which this country was built on...

Not that the Founding Father’s got it right in their actions right away...
but FINALLY America is saying that it’s time we put our IDEALS into PRACTICE,
and standing up & fighting for true EQUALITY FOR ALL

Police would love some of these things.

Better be prepared to pay cops more though if they need private insurance.

Body cams cost millions. That is mayors decisions not police departments

It was 40 hours later DA said there would be charges. They needed time to collect evidence. Not everything happens overnight. Because you are ignorant and misinformed does not change this fact

OMG. The dude just fought them and had a knife!!! It’s everyone on video!! The DOJ confirmed he was armed! Would you be happier if the cop got killed instead??

- Fattony1187

Still waiting for the video of the guy attacking police with a knife...

And no, I’m not ok with ANYONE being murdered
And that 100% includes cops

Defending someone getting shot in the back is what’s sick
Your perspective on this is embarrassing

Police would love some of these things.

Sure, but millions of dollars is 100% worth the clarity it would cause.

Pay police more, im fine with that, what im not fine with is tax payers paying for a cop who has abused his power and though he was above the law and is now involved in a settlement.

LOL, no they are not.
- ImThatGuy

89 police officers killed in line of duty in 2019, 48 by felonious acts. So yeah. Just because you like criminals more does not mean that those cops lives didn’t matter
