Everyone should be accountable for their actions..

Each race and ethnicity sticks up for each other. Regardless of the situation, would it really have been any different to you if the African-American police officers would have started killing Caucasian men? Would it make a difference if it was the 'White Lives Matter' movement or the 'Asian Lives Matter' movement? No. It would still be in the papers, and on the news. You would still be seeing it.

Who committed the crime and who is protesting it is not the problem. Race entirely is no the problem, the problem here is the way they protest. They block roads, blow up buildings, loot, and beat up their own people. The black lives matter group is simply indigenous based on their recent affairs. They're doing nothing but harm to themselves the way that they "protest". They just want attention and media coverage is all it is.

"If you keep walking when a cop tells you to stop, you are subject to a bullet in the back." Nope. Not at all. In the training of today's cops, that may be the case. That training should be changed. The training is the whole issue. Running from cops doesn't mean the person should be shot. None of us should be ok with living in that type of police state.

If I seen someone with something clearly hidden and they are running from me, I would shoot them too. I'd taze them if in range, but remember that those tazers don't go that far. Is the safety and well being of me, my family, and my neighbors more important than the guy's life who is running with something hidden? You bet your ass.

Look at the big picture guys. What you guys are doing is watching the end of the video and pointing fingers before understanding the beginning. Put yourself in a cops shoes. You have an unidentified suspect with something clearly hidden under their jacket, you tell them to stop and drop everything, but instead they run away. You don't know what they have or what they're going to do. Yes, you should attempt to run after them, but there is a point where you have to cut the line and stop putting peoples life in danger and pull the trigger.

Remember, you and I are looking in from the outside, we have no experience. Cops have people lie to them, and run away from them every day. They know they have a target on their back, so when you run away from that person who is already on edge, what do you think is going to happen?

Do the job and chase them. There is a reason that cops have to pass physical exams. Guns should only be a last resort. They should chase until there is an immediate danger. Could there be some cases where there are others injured or killed due to that, sure. What you are saying though is that you would rather have a certain death over a potential death. I can't be ok with that.

You say this like a fatal shot is the only shot. A shot to the leg would do just fine. Yes there is a major vein there, but unless you hit the heart or brain, there is a good chance the victim will survive.

I have never heard of an officer that is trained to shoot for the leg. "Center mass" is all I hear about. If they did go for the leg more often, we probably wouldn't be having this conversation right now. I hear that leg shots aren't possible though since there is a higher chance of missing and hitting someone else. This is why guns need to not be used until there is an immediate threat.

Lmfao so if a cop tells me to stop walking. I deserve to get shot? How much sense does that make? If that really is protocol within police training nowadays. No wonder the homicidal rates coming from police officers have risen in the past year. Honestly, if not complying with a police officer translates to 16 shots in the back? Who do you call when you can't even trust the police to help you nowadays.

Well it kinda depends on the Crime so if they murdered 20 people they shouldn't be shot?

No. Police officers have to be fit for a reason, they can run after them.

I know this really grinds my gears, good rant.
