I read it will be held at the Civic theatre! That is where the world has headed for a long time, criminal death threats to the other side!
When Amadou Diallo was killed by NYC police in a hail of 41 bullets, I remember it was said the cops were trained to empty their guns. This was 1999.
The real reason: When police are not justified in using deadly force & they do it anyway, they want to make sure their victim doesn't survive to testify against them at the hearing. A victim evokes more sympathy from jurors.
Regardless, everyone has good qualities no matter what you mean. The police only did a good job to those who think like police. In terms of ethics and morality they are sadly mistaken. Noone deserves to be treated that way. What if you broke the law? Would you like to be handled that way in terms of your rights? He deserved to be treated fairly. Everyone deserves a chance.
I wasn't trying to equate the two, I was asking if it was ever permissible to have shot a shooter an excessive number of times?
A shot was thought to have come out of Jayland's car door but they weren't very sure about that. I still think the police could of handled this better, like not have to kill.
You're reply speaks to me Knight!! We had a case here in N.J. decades ago that caused a slight division in our office. Our supervisor's father was friends with the cop who shot a young Black man in the back and killed him as he was running away. All of us, except the supervisor agreed that in no way could that boy have been a threat and that it was murder. We let her know we disagreed with her. One of her friends who was also a co-worker and who is White (they are both Jewish) said her sons and their friend acted out the situation and came to the same conclusion...unarmed Black boy, running away could not have posed a threat. Mirroring what you wrote...no matter what that boy did, he did not deserve to be shot in the back. Of course back then cops were rarely (if ever) charged with killing a Black man (or boy) regardless of the circumstances.
My honorary daughter and granddaughter say the same thing. I was so angry about the shooting and the "Killer Kop" not facing any punishment that I said he will never have another moments peace. Sure enough, I found out from my supervisor over a decade later that he had been suffering mentally all those years and could not find peace in his life. Good for his a*s!Had these dirt bag cops not committed this crime, the city wouldn't have had to pay an innocent man 7.5 Million dollars for a wrongful conviction & 25 years in prison:
Prosecuting "Killer Kops" is a relatively new development Win. For decades they have gotten away with killing Black men and boys, then Black women and girls. In fact these KK's (hmmmm maybe another K needs to be added) got away without even being charged. One of the most heartbreaking cases was several decades ago when a cop shot an 8 year old boy, out for a stroll with his father because he "looked like the perp"...WTF!!

@rgp always makes excuses for them but I suspect that like them, he is racist. He is likely also ignorant to the many circumstances in which the victims committed no crime at all. We (Black people) are very familiar with the term "driving while Black", then there's "walking while Black", etc. and like you pointed out Win...he refuses to acknowledge certain truths. I doubt that he would care anyway. Let sh*t like this happen in his family and I bet he'd change his views. Rgp, don't bother to reply directly to me because I've got you on ignore. Not letting you get on my last nerve ever again!
