Dig in harder. Changing your mind means you're weak/woke.
Waiting for more details is digging in harder? I'm just not the kind of person that will get hysterical over a clickbate headline.
If you're waiting for more details about cops being horrible in the US, you ar have either dug into the opposite opinion, or have managed to avoid (intentionally or otherwise) a whole lot of data.
But it's a good guess to assume the former.
I'm waiting for details on this case. Did the cop have a legitimate reason to pull over Leonard Cure, did he have a reason to arrest him. The article claims Lenard resisted and continued going after the cop after he was tased but I have not seen any evidence.
I wonder why you get so worked up about someone wanting more info instead of blindly following a narrative.
Well, let me ask..
When was the last news story where you went back, got the details later, and felt the cops used too much force and deserved to be punished?
Now that I have seen the evidence, Cure driving 100mph and attacking the officer I find it hard to fault the officers actions. Has your opinion changed now that the videos have been released?
No. Cops have the obligation to deescalate, and he failed. Running away does not mean you need to be tased when you finally do choose to comply.
Short of a suspect pulling a knife or a gun on the cop, or actively moving to harm another person, there's no instance where I see lethal force as appropriate force.
Being guilty of speeding, fleeing, resisting arrest, it even punching a cop in the face, should not be a death sentence.
I see you haven't watched the video, Cure didn't run away he came after the cop. The cop only shot him after he was being choked against the back of Cure's truck.
I meant when he fled in the car
He didn't flee in his truck. He blew by a cop in the fast lane then pulled over to the right when the cop got behind him with his lights on.
I mostly member outcome of the cases not the details that were presented when I initially read about it.
The Jordan Edwards case comes to mind, police shot him as he was driving away, they initially claimed he was reversing twords them. Footage releases later proved otherwise.
There was a case of a kid getting shot because he went to put something behind his car to stop it from rolling back and hitting the cops behind him.
