The skin color of both men to me is irrelevant. The video shows the police officer lying on his back and shooting him in the head execution style. That is wrong.
Skin color of the victim in a single event may be irrelevant. That there are a disproportionate number of POC killed in traffic stops, etc., then the skin color and being killed by LEO is relevant.
Disproportionate to what exactly? Fleeing the cops and assaulting an officer to steal his taser and shoot him with it? All because the cop asked for your drivers license?Skin color of the victim in a single event may be irrelevant.

The headline: Video: Michigan cop on Black man's back, fatally shot him
The lede: GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- A Black man face-down on the ground was fatally shot in the back of the head by a Michigan police officer, the violent climax of a traffic stop, brief foot chase and struggle over a stun gun, according to videos of the April 4 incident released Wednesday.
The comment: Guns. Again. Another person dead. Perhaps we should seek less-deadly ways for the police to effectively subdue people than shooting them with the intent to kill them.
Guns.
Again.
Another person dead.
Regards, stay safe 'n well . . . 'n un-shot.

That’s what I’m saying. Blacks are naturally and properly afraid of police and MUST run away, assault and resist by any means necessary any attempt by a cop to stop them. The centuries of abuse at the hand of whites leave blacks no recourse but to resist and, if a cop is involved, to die trying to escape the tyranny of the white systemHow about this scenario.
This whole thing was over a vehicle registration kerfuffle.
Maybe don’t chase a guy down putting yourself into danger that would then lead to deadly force over the tags on a ****ing car?
How about we do that for a little while?

I am not saying that they can’t pull people over… but getting into a physical altercation where the person can grab your taser and you are forced to shoot them in the back of the head over vehicle registration is a clear failure in how policing works in this country.Please expand on that theory. How exactly do we enforce the vehicle registration laws in your world, if we don't allow cops to pull over people with tags that don't match their vehicle?

Right. And since ANY situation can escalate like that then cops simply shouldn’t respond to crimes. They can come in and do the paperwork after the fact. Much more neat and clean that wayConcern trolling aside.
There is no reason for an officer to put themselves into a situation that could escalate to deadly force over car tags.
There was no indication that he was violent before he ran away. No indication that he would commit violence. Running away is not a violent act.I don't understand. What do you think the cop should have done in this situation? Just let the guy run away? Do you WANT more violent criminals on our streets?
That is a straw manRight. And since ANY situation can escalate like that then cops simply shouldn’t respond to crimes. They can come in and do the paperwork after the fact. Much more neat and clean that way

Yes. Even if the car was STOLEN it did not justify the officer's responses (it's a property crime, yanno). If that's too difficult to process, it's not the fault of anyone else. But, being wrong on the reality, I guess it's "logical" to resort to lying about the circumstances.Disproportionate to what exactly?

We have been told color is irrelevant. If the cop was black would this be a story?The link: https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/michigan-city-release-video-death-police-officer-84062561

LMAO. That was amazing ^^^^^How about this scenario.

What is wrong with the position that a traffic stop shouldn’t end in the death of someone?LMAO. That was amazing ^^^^^
Rodney King would still be above room temp if he had not run from the law. Just like a person dying of Covid who refused the vaccineYes.
