        there are errors on both sides. Too much violence from a very small percentage on both the police and publics side

        @AngelinaT18 @BBCBreaking One small difference - the cops you say made errors didn't start their shifts with murderous intent.

        however, one of the men killed was already pinned to the floor. A lot more options than to point blank shoot him.

        Always easy to second-guess after the event. Ever fight a combative man unwilling to stop then find out he's armed?

        I'm sorry but no. He was pinned with both arms, choice to use taser, cs spray or firearm... Oh and 3 shots, then another 3? Really?

        You shoot to stop the threat. That's how ppl train for self defense. Man shot through his heart can fight for a minute or more.

        really? This is the problem. Firearms are not the answer. Other methods could have been used and a life could have been saved.

        The man HAD A GUN. What would you suggest? Lollipops? Poetry? He chose deadly force - Cops aren't bulletproof, as we saw in TX.

        It is possible to condemn a few bad cops and still feel sorry for what is happening now! #alllivesmatter

        Yes. There are definitely bad cops. But can't blame all for terrible actions of a few. More violence is NEVER a solution.

        facts didn't matter when police did the shooting, automatically guilty. When it's cops dead, wait...facts matter. @BBCNews

        “we don’t know the facts” What we do know: As they’ve proven time and time again, America DOES NOT CARE about gun violence. #2A

        That's not true. Many Americans do. Even if 2nd A was abolished, criminals will ALWAYS have guns and commit violence.
