What an absolute joke. How can anyone even question at this point why people are protesting the American police system. This is like the second incident in 10 days where the police have seen a black man and presumed guilt.
You didn't read the article, did you?
The guy who was killed was involved in the shooting and was armed with a handgun in that crowded mall. I would hardly call him a good guy.
Also since when is being armed in America a crime?
Obviously you didn’t read the article, he may have been involved with the confrontation but was not responsible for the rounds fired. Hence the statement from the police that the shooter is at large.
As I said...he was involved. Even if he didn't do the actual shooting. That's why I dispute your thread title. The guy who was killed was NOT a "good guy".
While technically not a crime, being armed when the police later respond to an "active shooter" call is likely cause (reason?) to get you shot by police which, in turn, will be 'cleared' by an internal investigation of the "officer involved shooting".
Obviously you didn’t read the article, he may have been involved with the confrontation but was not responsible for the rounds fired. Hence the statement from the police that the shooter is at large.
And being involved in the confrontation and running from the scene with a gun in his hand makes him the good guy?
Why were the police shooting at someone running away?
An armed Hoover police officer who was working security at the mall then confronted an armed man running away from the scene and fatally shot him, authorities said.

sigh...
Again...read the article.
It's not like the officer shot him in the back as he was running away. The armed victim was running away from the scene, was "confronted" by the officer.

So my question “ why are the police shooting people who are running away” still stands. Also this is all from the statement of a police officer who has now been placed on administrative leave after shooting the wrong suspect.
You probably should have read you own article, " Bradford was involved in "some aspect of the altercation"
Certainly not the "good guy" you have claimed
He didn't shoot the wrong suspect. He shot one of the suspects.

Hmm... why is shooting any "suspect" not wrong and grounds for immediate arrest? I have no problem with anyone (officer or civilian) shooting in self defense, or to save the life of another currently under criminal attack, if that is later determined to have been the case by a jury but the idea that one can be (unilaterally?) declared (by police?) to be "suspect" and simply executed for having been so designated is moronic. The difference between a suspected homicide (or attempted homicide) and an officer involved shooting shouldn't simply be the occupation of the shooter.
Gunmen is still at large, yesterday they said they killed the gunmen....so they got the wrong guy.
When you don't have a permit. When your weapon is stolen. When you use it in a confrontation without justification. When you use it in the commission of a crime. When you are in a gun free zone.
I'm not saying any of these apply in this case. Just answering your question. But I'd guess at least one applies.
I didn't see any reference to race. Did I miss something?
