Wisconsin Cops Murder Black Man

He wasn't under arrest though or even involved on the original incident ( he stopped to break it up). Just no justification to shooting the guy 7 times in the back.

Disobey the police, head for your car, try opening your door...whatever happens is on you. If only minorities would see how leftists are using their literal lives as political weapons things may change. Doesn't get more pure racist than what you dems are doing here. Thats pure hatred.
 
Ah, now he was reaching "under" the front seat. X-ray vision tell you that?

You seem to have jumped to all kinds of conclusions yourself, and now you're whining about someone else doing it? But it's not that odd of a conclusion in this case -- if you bother to watch the video, it's clear he's bending over at the waist as if he's reaching for something in the door or on the floor of the vehicle.

By the way, about a month ago, a white man in OK was gunned down by police in a domestic violence call. There's no indication in any of the news stories that he was armed. Where's your outrage for him? Maybe you didn't know about it, because he was white and therefore none of the major news outlets picked up the story.

I believe what I see, what about you

I prefer a more objective approach then relying on one piece of the puzzle: in this case, a very short video clip that provides limited context to the event and social media rants about police brutality.

Getting shot in the back is police brutality
 
Now there isn’t even a requirement that someone be dead before promoting the incident as “murder”.
 
Getting shot in the back is police brutality

That's just not true .. it's all dependent on what events are transpiring when law enforcement engages an individual. Engaging an active shooter with a round into the back is not the same as engaging a suspect that's fleeing. The fact is .. we don't know what caused the law enforcement officer to use lethal force.

We know he was not an active shooter
 
Did you see the entire video? The first shot was as he was walking away, then after he opened the car door, the other shoots came at close range

There were no shots fired until he had opened the door to the vehicle.
 
Yes. You are wrong. Any person who is presenting a threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or another person is subject to deadly force. No matter what way they are facing.
 
If he did all the wrong things then that is why he got shot. The police arent going to wait to see what you are pulling out from under your seat. WE ALL KNOW THIS. When you reach into a car after the police tell you not to then that is the moment you made the decision to get shot by the police. Stop telling people that police shouldn't shoot you in this situation. Your rhetoric is emboldening people to fight police and is getting them killed. Your racist bull**** needs to stop. What the **** is the matter with you lefties. You lost the election...get over it and stop using minorities as your fodder for your political games. It's ghastly.

What’s really ghastly is the willingness of Trump cultists to defend any killing of minorities by police.....and even by random morons, as in the case of the men who murdered Ahmad Arbery.

And then they wonder why minorities largely won’t vote for them.

Maybe he used the same x-ray vision you used to determine he wasn't reaching for anything.

We don't know a lot about this encounter except what evidence a short video clip provided and minimal information trickling in from media sources.

Yep..2015 a cop in South Carolina shoots an unarmed Walter Scott in the back who was 20ft away from the cop, and running away from the cop. The victim was absolutely NO threat to the police officer.. And then the cop planted a taser gun near the victim's body.

There were Republicans and Conservatives here on this site who defended the cop. So there's no way they will criticize any cop no matter how wrong the cop was, no matter what the situation or circumstances.

They wouldn't criticize the police officer's actions then? And that cop was 100% wrong.. Now with Trump in charge and empowering his cult? There's no way on earth they will criticize any cop now..
 
A man with warrants for his arrest for beating and sexually assaulting women and with a history of carrying and using illegal firearms was shot when he resisted arrest and purposefully reached into a vehicle for what officers believe was a weapon.

And idiot leftists **** themselves before the facts of the case became known.
 
Innocent until shot dead by cops.

“Shoot the bastard!”

Getting shot by cops has nothing to do with guilt or innocence, and everything to do with whether it was reasonable for the cop who shot him to believe he was a threat. The criminal history of the "victim," along with countless other details that you can't possibly have known before you rushed to judgment, are highly relevant to that issue.

When all the facts are actually out, your conclusion may end up being right. But that won't make the way you (along with the rioters) stumbled upon it any less irresponsible.

Do you have any proof that the officers knew of his arrest history before shooting him in the back?
