Serving a warrant. Protestors demand release of body cam footage.

So the Police were fleeing in a car, they killed somebody?

LOL!!!

Has it occurred to anyone besides me that the common theme to all of these officer-involved shootings is that the suspect/criminal resists arrest, tries to flee, or engages the police officer in physical assault?? In other words, non-cooperate with the police officer?

Have read that there have been zero officer-involved deaths during an arrest when the suspect cooperates with the officer. Maybe we need to teach suspect-safety courses when interacting with the police.

I have ben singing that tune for awhile, but no one likes to hear it.

Report to the leftist lobotomy facility to have your common sense and reasoning ability removed.

Please allow me to pile on with Attitiana Jefferson and Jerry Waller..

I don't understand police work. What i do understand is outcomes. Every time the police arrive for something like a welfare check or a burglar alarm and a citizen ends up dead, the investigation needs to be done by an outside, disinterested but knowledgeable party.
I get it - someone who has drug arrests and flees in a car. But shot to death? Yea, I also get it that high speed chases put lives in danger. I also get it that people don't want to go to jail again for a drug related violation and are going to do what they can to avoid it. Somehow killing them doesn't seem like the right answer.

I'm a strong supporter of the police. I went to a fundraiser today for our police department's citizen's group. But that doesn't mean that I have to blindly accept everything that every officer does. I need a lot more facts on this one. The body cam might help. The absence of the body cam is going to raise my suspicion level another notch.

While all of these cases involve suspects that are resisting arrest or attempting to flee, I do question the wisdom of them firing at a vehicle moving down the road. More because of the risk to innocent bystanders than a concern for the scum bag driving the vehicle.

Did this fix it, or are the police still the ones fleeing.

I don’t know exactly the rules of engagement for police.

Deadly force to prevent their death.

Deadly force to prevent the death of an innocent. ( now being criticized )

That’s all I am aware of.

Usually if an officer fires at a car, it’s because it’s being used as a deadly weapon.

So here I’m not sure of the reason the officers fired.

If it’s to stop him from getting away and preventing a dangerous car chase, then that may be another case where deadly force is allowed.
