        @otto_chizza @ABC they are not required to die or even risk injury to protect you. They CHOOSE to.

        @Kazprisca it's terrible that it happened for sure. But if the cops tell you to drop what you're holding you do it. I don't come toward them

        @ABC probably shot him cause they were afraid he was gonna take a video of them. Cops hate it when you record them breaking the law.

        @ABC The thing about killing a man is you take away everything he's got and everything he's ever going to have.

        @ABC Maybe he didn't follow commands because police are trained to yell unintelligibly. That and he didn't have a gun to drop.

        @ABC COMMON SENSE!! If a cop is stopping you you drop whatever is in your hands and make sure your hands are visable and AWAY FROM THE BODY!
