Democracies get the leaders they deserve.

lol i've said that so many times in private conversation over the past few years. Ours is a beautiful state run by an ugly government. Here's to hoping we can get the bible-thumpers and wacko-hippies out of Raleigh soon.

meh, it's a tough call. i don't see any guns, and he doesn't seem to try to point and shoot at any moment.

But again, i think that's the kind of reaction you get when the police has to deal with dumb gun laws where anyone can be better armed than they are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Holy premise batman

"They saw him with a gun in his car"

"He didnt exit when asked"

Again, how do you come to those conclusions?

Because thats what a cop said? "Drop the gun?" We all know police never cover their ass in any fashion. Im not saying what happened or what didnt happen.

What positively happened though, that we can confirm looking at the video, is a guy with both hands at his side backing away from a vehicule, with no gun in sight.

"Hes backing away to get in position to shoot" Thats what they call "judgement of intentions" in court.

The police were there serving a warrant. They ended up with the wrong guy but the wrong guy just so happened to be a felon in possession of a gun. I am going to assume that you have not seen the footage taken by the victim's wife. This will show how uncooperative the guy was being. The guy is surrounded by officers. They saw a gun in the vehicle. They are yelling telling him to put the gun down and exit the vehicle. This genius gets out with the gun in his hand (its in his left hand as he is backing away and the ankle holster on his right ankle). There are pictures from the scene of the gun after the shooting and the gun appears to be ready to be fired but that is speculation.

I like how recently rappers like Kevin Gates are speaking out against groups like BLM. Gates is a convicted felon and he states basically anytime he was messed with by the cops its because he was being a *radio edit*. He said change your attitude and you wont have any problem with the cops. Gates is a Muslim also if I recall. He has an interesting view.

good post

This is what a police state looks like.

they showed up and killed him for sitting in his car smoking a blunt?

was he at address where warrant was served or really just waiting on a bus... how can i find this out...*he was in front of complex

everyone should definately learn how to interact with law enforcement and show respect... being rude is a sure fire way to get harrassed at least and murdered at the worst...

The thing is, i put absolutely 0 value in what cops say anymore. It is absolutely not, in my mind, something far fatched to think that some cops say "stop resisting" or "drop the gun" as a pre-emptive way to cover their ass as they are about to do something shady. It might or might not be an ankle holster at his feet but the picture ive seen is very blurry. What ive seen is a guy not pointing a gun at cops, hands on his side, being riddled with bullets.

I speak from experience. I do protests in Montreal. Heres what im fighting right now in court:

A 400$ ticket, that was given to me by a cop because i was "impeding pedestrian traffic". He gave me that phoney ticket because i asked him to identify himself, as he had just arrested my friend who was playing music but only as loud as the cars passing by, which will be part of our defense when we go to court next year.

So for no good reason, he arrests my friend, then when i ask him his name and badge number (its in his deontology code, hes obliged to do it), he makes up a phoney excuse to give me a 400$ ticket. He even added a 150$ fine for "audible noise" when he started to twist my wrist while saying "stop resisting". I was in no way resisting. I raised my voice a little to let passersby know that this cop was hurting me for no reason.

I could write all day about these sorts of experience with cops. So i find it either naive, or in bad faith when people say well cops said this or that as if thats not matter to doubting.

Did you watch that Kevin Gates video I linked? It might help put into perspective your current and past experiences with law enforcement.

The SJWs are out in force on that one. Could feel the tension on the Asian interviewer who likely knows fuck-all about the situation. Gates handled it well "if you want to be right, I'll agree w/ you"... But who has more experience here.

I imagine tradesonred much the same.

Did you watch the wife's video? How many times did she say to get out the car and don't let them break the window? Then she changes her tune to "don't you do it." Clearly she's talking to her husband. I don't care that you have an issue with cops, and I'm not here to change your opinion.

If you ask me, she's just as bad as he was. Her husband gets shot in front of her and all she does is say "he better not be dead..." over and over while continuing to argue with the police. That's the thug life right there.

I'm not saying I'm glad he got shot, but I am saying it's his own fault. He had plenty of time to do what they asked. The longer he resists the itchier those trigger fingers get. Why tempt fate? That's just dumb.
