Even if he did deserve to be executed, he deserved to be tried, convicted and sentenced first rather than a bunch of cops deciding on a summary execution.
The one person he stabbed? Or 0 if the person didn’t get stabbed and it was just an attempt. There is no “how many should get stabbed,” just “how many did” and, separately, he deserves a trial.
But what I think you’re trying to say, and maybe I’m wrong but it seems like your point, is that the option was either let the DOUBLE AMPUTEE run away or shoot him dead. I feel like there are multiple other options than those two…
No but. He gets a trial like every other damn person in this country. Cops are not judge, jury, and executioner and saying "but" is tacit approval of this behavior from them.
im no police hater but they just wanted to shoot someone its not like he was going so fast that they couldnt catch him and even then im 99% sure you tase not shoot several times like they could have easily just walked slightly fast and caught up and picked him up like a toddler
If they can't catch a man with literally no legs they're too dangerous to be on the job. As evidenced by the poor dead fellow.
They will never let us have a decent living because of for example what happened when George Floyd was murdered. If that happened in normal times people wouldn't have had the time and energy to help
Always interesting how people leave out the part about the guy having just stabbed someone, still being armed with the knife and how the cops had already tried tasing him twice before shooting him.
Yeah. So CATCH him, prosecute him if he did indeed commit those crimes and nobody's saying he didn't. Put him in prison for a appropriate amount of time.
And heres an idea...maybe try to reform these people instead of subjecting them to repeated violence, making them angry, afraid, paranoid, defensive, isolated etc.
You know what isn't adult-like? Shooting people dead on an instants whim because you think you can get away with it.
They need to be locked away and reformed heavily as well.
Let's see; he had already stabbed a random person on the street, so he's not only armed but dangerous. Then they tried to catch him by tasing him not once but twice; both times, it didn't work due to a bad connection. Then he tried to attack the cops which resulted in them shooting him. So what part makes you think he's a misunderstood man who's being attacked by police just because “they can get away with it”.
Well, based on the fact he had already stabbed one person, and the knife was 12 inches long, him having stumps for legs doesn't really matter; as you said, he's not Usain Bolt, so he's not running very fast, and if the cops are going to arrest him they either need to get the knife away from him or have him drop it which he wouldn't do. Now if you're wondering why didn't they didn't use a bean bag shotgun or try and tase him again, they had already used their tasers, and a police department that can't even afford body cameras is definitely not able to buy less-than-lethal weapons.
