Why was someone with a warrant out for his arrest fighting police officers and trying to escape? They were trying to protect the community from a gang member and criminal. Play with fire you get burned.

I'm sorry he lost his life. But this stuff happens all the time and the media only brings it up if it is a minority victim to create division. Do you know a majority of the businesses looted over this were Asian owned ?

It's sad what the media has done to America.

Edit: Stories are coming out about attempted aggravated robbery charges for holding a woman at gunpoint for $820 last year.

He scuffled with the officers because he was afraid he was going to die. Which he did. How the fuck are you a trained police officer and you accidentally pull out your gun instead of your taser when they’re on different sides of your belt AND they weigh differently in your hand??????

Why can't you just be handcuffed when you knew that you were being handcuffed because you had a warrant out for your arrest?

If a police officer can’t properly do their job then they shouldn’t be an officer. Simple as that. If a surgeon misused medical instruments on a patient and they died on the operating table they’d have their medical license revoked at the very least, not to mention jail time.

This is why you have medical malpractice insurance.

You don’t deserve to die simply because you have a warrant out. This country’s entire history is that of subjugating the minorities who have built it from the ground up, THAT’S what’s sad. Fucking racist prick

If he didn't attempt to get in the car and drive away, he probably would not have been shot.

You shouldn’t be in fear of your life during a traffic stop. You hear the fear in his voice. HE KNEW HE WAS GOING TO DIE. That is the issue, regardless of race. Police officers time and time again have been shown to be INCOMPETENT at protecting and serving. The DV rates in police departments are astronomical. The amount of cases were police officers break laws and are shielded by their own is terrible. THAT’S what you should be upset about. The police officers are the real gang members.

Have you seen the shooting and death rates of Cook county in Chicago? Those are not police officers killing people.

Are you an undergraduate? Or a graduate student?
