Bro wat if it was a gun pointed at the police?
What should be the option for them?
That's a gun bro, not teaser.

A guy was shot for threatening officers with rubber lawn tennis bat.

Almost 4 officers against rubber bathuh

As an officer, ive been trained to disarm/detain people with weapons (not guns).

As an officer, even if you hit me with that plastic bat, i cant die, shooting him isn't the next option for me. I have baton, i have teaser.

Back to the topic, i can call for backup, he left behind a white Toyota Camry which i believe there will be registration/documents having his data.

Worst case, i can shoot his ass as he was running, that won't kill him.

optm:
shooting to kill when there isnt threat to life isnt an act of self defence to a cop. Like i stated earlier that they had other options nd the use of lethal force wasnt necessary
How we comprehend sometimes differs, some does from behind or underneath.

What the guy did was wrong, you don't struggle or argue with these cops. Just do as they they say most especially if you're coloured.

He wrestled, grabbed officers teasers, that's wrong.

Still, shooting him dead is not the next option. The teaser he pointed at them can't kill them.

Ive see many videos of white dudes, resisting arrest, struggling/wrestling/punching officers.

One of the videos i attached here, one dude fought and overpowered two officers, he grabbed their guns and drove away their ford. Another one attacked officers with axe.

They don't shoot them most times, rather, they call for backup.

A black guy was shot in the chest early this year threatening officers with just a rubber bat.

They shot one white guy holding a gun, but after warning and begging him for almost 30mins with squad of cops.

The issue is, they shot a fleeing unarmed man from behind. Though he grabbed a teaser from the officers, but he was fleeing already.

He obeyed them for over 30mins in the full video and the struggle started when they wanted to cuff him despite doing all they asked.

CAPSLOCKED:
IF YOU RESIST ARREST AND FIGHT THE POLICE LIKE THAT, YOU'LL HAVE YOURSELF TO BLAME IF YOU GET SHOT AND KILLED.

THIS MAN IS CRAZY. IF HE HAD A WEAPON HE'D HAVE HURT THE POLICE OFFICERS WHO ONLY WANTED TO DO THEIR JOB.
I've seen many of their videos arresting citizens on fb pages like Police Central, etc.

Some of these police officers are just bullies.

Sometimes they frustrate you despite not resisting, drag you, push you, hurt you so that you can respond or fight back. Giving them a reason to use their guns or teaser.

Someone gave himself up for cuffing, he stepped out of the vehicle, put his hand behind for cuffs, but the officers were still dragging him to the ground to cuff him using force.



This lady, Breona Taylor, EMT Officer was shot dead in the middle of the night in her home by the police in March, 2020.

They bursted her home unannounced, the boyfriend thought they're robbers, drew his gun and the police opened fire on them, hitting the lady 8x.

Some of the police officers don't use their head before acting.

So after explaining he killed it in defence they still want to sentence him? would it have been better if the gorilla had killed the man? How some countries reason baffles me at times.
What if he's lying?
CrimeRe: Four Men Faces Life Imprisonment For Killing A Popular Gorilla In Uganda(Pics) by Explorers(op): 7:28am On Jun 13, 2020
The arrests followed investigation of Rafiki's death 'after a postmortem report revealed that the Silverback sustained an injury by a sharp device/object that penetrated its left upper part of the abdomen up to the internal organs'. 

One of the detained men, Byamykama Felix, of Murole villa, Kisoro District, had been found in possession of wild hog meat, rope and wire snares and spears, the statement said.

The man 'confessed to killing the gorilla in self-defence,' the statement said, adding he said it charged at him while he and a colleague, Bampabenda Evarist, were hunting in the park.


If they are convicted of killing the much-loved animal under a wildlife protection law, which was passed last year, they could face life imprisonment or fines of up to £4.3million.

CrimeFour Men Faces Life Imprisonment For Killing A Popular Gorilla In Uganda(Pics) by Explorers(op):
Four men have been arrested in connection with the death of one of the world's most popular gorillas.

Silverback gorilla Rafiki, which translates as 'friend' in English, was killed in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda, after going missing on June 1. 

After a search party was sent to find him, his body was discovered the following day stabbed by what appeared to be a spear. 

The 25-year-old male was the leader of a group of 17 endangered mountain gorillas, called Nkuringo, consisting of three other adult males, eight females, two juveniles and three infants. 

They live at the UNESCO world heritage site near Uganda's border with the Democratic Republic of Congo and are used to human contact.

HealthRe: COVID-19: Man Gains Over 100kg Within 5 Months Of Lockdown In Wuhan (Pics) by Explorers(op): 5:50pm On Jun 12, 2020
According to the hospital, Mr Zhou has been struggling with his weight for his entire life even though he tried different ways to lose weight.

At the end of last year, the 5ft7 man weighed 392 pounds.


Covid-19 lockdown: Mr Zhou did not step out of his flat for five months, and as a result, his weight grew by a further 224 pounds.

After being given round-the-clock care for nine days, the Wuhan resident's condition finally became stable.

He was transferred to a regular ward yesterday.

A 26-year-old man in Wuhan has gained 224 pounds in the space of five months while staying at home to avoid COVID-19, according to the doctors.

Mr Zhou had to be rushed to hospital by an ambulance earlier this month after falling critically ill because of the sudden increase in his weight.

Mr Zhou, a worker at an internet cafe, stopped leaving home when the city went into lockdown in late January.

His family members said he was struggling to move due to his weight.

Footage and images released by the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University show medical workers examining Mr Zhou after he was admitted to the hospital on June 1.
