    What are you talking about?

    He was running away with a gun. The cop literally said “drop the gun, drop the gun, drop the gun or I’ll shoot you.”

    It’s sad how people like you think people should be allowed to behave like this without getting shot.

    That cop did his duty and I support him wholeheartedly. Most of the people on these forums need a reality check, because whatever is upvoted is not always correct.

      He did drop his gun. You can see it in the video, he yeeted that fuckin thing. There is NO REASON to shoot someone in the back, because if their back is towards you, they are not a threat to you. The only people who shoot other people in the back are fucking cowards, you fucking coward.

          Yeah, the only thing people like you understand are ad hominem attacks because you can’t form a coherent thought, let alone a coherent argument. Thankfully your influence will not outlive you.

            Such gusto and pride!

            Perhaps one day, you will realise in life that some people don’t care enough to argue or debate with you. Your feverish comments remind me of a crazed man screaming and foaming at the mouth thinking he’s making an excellent point.

      Cops aren’t allowed to perform summary executions. It doesn’t matter what the cop demanded he do. He’s not allowed to execute people for disobedience.

      Jesus fucking Christ. You do not belong in society.

        What, you don’t like living under fear of death when we have a judicial system? That whole innocent until proven thing?

        People like him and the cop here put bloodshed over rule of law, and as unfortunate as it is our current society does give them a place.
