Ontopic; I think both cops, shouldn't be cops at all. The cop who is shooting the guy, well I don't think that that needs to be explained. The cop who is commenting, should be able to withhold his views regarding this. If he can't even recognize the absurdness of his collegue in this situation, he is another similar video, just waiting to be happening. There's systematically something wrong in the USA if these people can be law enforcerers (not judging USA or something, theres fucked up cops in every country). | ||

I am in no way defending a cop that has shot a guy in the back and I am not trying to argue in favor of the cops in any way, I just hate even the idea of "reporting someone" because of a comment, that's all. | ||

EDIT: Why is No the top answer and why did I click it without reading.. Dumbo jumbo Kurumi right here. EDIT2: Since when "authorized to use deadly force" means "must use deadly force". I could do variety of things to people which are legal and authorized, but I am not compelled to. Sigh. | ||

Frankly, this political and racial tension has existed in American society since existence and it will never end, just the techniques of instigating or enacting has changed. | ||

I mean, I know you probably said that to not sound like an antagonistic foreigner, but we really don't have the same type of stories in Europe. What was the stat that I read the other day, US cops killed more people in march 2015 than UK cops did in the last 115 years? You can say it's training, you can say it's something else, I don't really know enough to argue causality, but there's definitely something specific going on. | ||

To me it's not entirely clear what he means. It could have a meaning in racial context, but nowhere in the text any reference to the guys' races. What I think is more probable (based on how I would use such a remark), is that he means that people who grab police belts' stuff are very stupid. I don't agree with both at all, obviously, but the interpretation could have implications on how it will be received as a report. | ||

"natural selection" does not mean that people who grab police belts' stuff are very stupid. It means that people who grab police belts' deserve to die. But yeah I agree, I don't think it was meant in a racial context. | ||

you can see at the start of the video he bats it away and is already running there is no attempt to grab or be offensive, only defensive/escape posture so what was the buildup to the event? if he was stopped for tail light, how is he half-way down a park, trying to flee from a taser? the facebook officer's interpretation of the event appears to be wrong (black guy wasn't trying to grab anything from officer's belt; he clearly batted the taser away in a defensive motion and was fleeing) so it might be relevant to make sure the facebook officer is aware of this and see if his opinion changes edit: love the commenter about the guy who videoed it saying "why cant we get decent camera people, this guy is shaking it all over the place" | ||

At the same time, I have no idea why anyone would want to make themselves an easy target for a doxxer by making your place of employment known... or just dabbling in political posts on your profile. | ||
