Jayland Walker Killed by at Least 60 Bullets Fired By Police

Let me get this straight, he shoots at cops and misses. So you think the cops should not shoot to kill a man that they didn't know if he was armed that's running away. Sounds like this guy wanted to be shot by a cop after all he tried it twice. Race has nothing to do with it. He could have just exited the car and put his hands on the hood and it would have ended. Now I guess the 8 cops should have stood there and worked out who was going to shoot so that not so many bullets would be used. Rule number one, don't shoot at cops! Stop making it a race thing when it's his actions that got him shot.

Last I saw, whether or not he really shot at the cops was up for debate. And you're going to tell me it took 8 cops to shoot at this guy and take him down?! PUH-LEEZE!!! Open your eyes! This was literally overkill ! And your reply still does not negate my point.

How can it be "overkill" ....... once one is dead , they are dead ..... they cannot be "overkilled"

Are you proposing that if only [say] 2 police officers, or perhaps only one police officer would have shot at him ......... he might have gotten away ?

He shoots at the cops when he is pulled over, then he shoots at the cops while driving and the when the car does come to a stop and the cops don't know he is unarmed, he runs. Then they open fire on him and kill him. 3 times he could have stopped and lived. 3 times he decided not to. but you see it as over kill. Humm, if they would have let him go and he killed others, would you be okay with that. Just why was he wearing a mask? No, if your pulled over, put your hands on the wheel, wait in the car and do what is instructed. At worse you end up at the police station. Oh if you placed in the police car....stay there!

I guess a lot of this rides on the definition of "unarmed." Yes, the police reported finding a gun in his car. But when he got out of the car and was just walking, was he armed? Owning a gun, or even having used it before getting out of the car, does not make a person armed. If he shot at police from the car, he of course should have been arrested. But why the necessity to kill him?

This sounds to me more like an excess of adrenaline on the part of the police, followed by a lame excuse. The job of the police is not to be executioners. Feels like George Floyd all over again.

Not quite. George Floyd was not armed & was already handcuffed & helpless when police murdered him.
