The cops know what the fuck a gun looks like. The cops get trained to shoot. And I just dont fucking understand why, if they ABSOLUTELY had to shoot, could they not shoot at his arm, or his leg, of just graze him by the bullet. Shit, if they were to even shoot to the side, he would have taken the gun out to shoot it, if he had one, which he didnt, he had a hair brush. They fucking killed him. Why? Because they would not loose their own life in exchange for a young mans, no matter his color, no matter his age. They were selfish. And at the end of the day, it all ok to them. And to the man who said Jews are white. Yea learn your History love, they come from Israel, which is OH SO far from Europe. And they have been suffering and being picked on and spit on for thousands of years, so the man who put them in the category of a minority that is mistreated was right.

Unfortunately, police officers are not mind readers. Hence, they have no choice but to act in response to a suspect’s actions and words, especially when the lives of human beings are threatened.

I can see why they would put their safety over that of a person who they are trying to help. I don't agree with the shooting, we now have tasers which I think would of been affective in this situation I am on the fence here, I don’t think any officer should not be able to go home at the end of the shift.
