This instant was not the fault of the officers. This was the right call.

I’m sure the guy was a stand up citizen
-
Shouldn’t matter if he was or not
-
But it does matter that he had a loaded gun and refused to obey police orders. It’s unfortunate but there are consequences to stupidity.

Why was your comment even necessary? It’s literally got nothing to do with what I said

You claim this young man didn’t need to be shot. Put yourself into the shoes of the officers. You get a call that a man is firing a gun in a residential area. You arrive on the scene and the man immediately runs away with the gun in his hand. While chasing him, he turns

towards you with the gun visible. As an officer, you have no idea what his intent is at that moment...but it is clear that if he didn’t mean harm he would have thrown the gun away. Officers had evey right to use deadly force. My point was, it’s suicide to run from cops w/ a gun.

It’s pointless at this point to argue with ppl who just want to use this video of an example as “racism” but ignore the fact the dude had a gun and was running from them. Also apparently reached to pull it out. IMO he had a death wish at that point

It’s actually pointless to argue with someone who isn’t arguing.

jsut isnt right again. Another getting away with murder . It's sad truly it's happening too much here.

Thurman was not murdered. Was he killed? Yes. Did the officers give him a chance to stop and put down his weapon? Yes. If you watch the video, the chase lasted a long time. If the officers wanted to murder him, they would have done so right away

Why not just 'man' instead of 'black man.' Why does everything have to be racialized in the media? This kind of stuff constantly divides society.

I hope the intent here by CBS wasn’t to stir up vitriol. They had a right to shoot this man. This isn’t a case of excessive force.
