Unarmed teen shot three times and killed while running from police in East Pittsburgh

Local ordinances. Do you know what those are?

No, but thanks for the insult. It reveals your character. #Sad.

 

Walter Scott.

 

Which one are you citing?

Well what do you expect when you ask a stupid question?

Trials are a process. When someone is killed and the defense is an exception, it must be tried. If it were not, from a simple matter of practicality much less morality or legality, people would start "self help" measures.
Of course the cop got charged. That doesnt mean he isn't under the rule.

 

You mean the case with the throwdown on camera, Scott fleeing from a ****ing child support warrant and no violent felony mentioned?

You think that compares to the car likely involved ( and actually involved) in a recent drive by attempted murder with bystanders around? Righhhhhhht

 

Now you are deliberately being obtuse. Scott fled after having struggle with the officer, and that makes him a felon more so than Antwon. It's laughable you can't distinguished between the two. Say....did this kid Antwon got charged with anything? Nope. The officer however is the one being charged. He may not serve jail time, but because of his poor decision, the taxpayers will have to pay to cover his butt.

 

"The court"? Which one? Not sure a "court" will get a chance to disagree in this instance as a grand jury, and a jury of his peers will decide if he's guilty of homicide.

 

That's what we have all been doing,

So you think cops should just be able to gun folks down in the streets and the public at large should just take their word as to what actually happened. History shows us that we can't go with that.

That's the lame excuse we keep hearing every time one of these killings happens. I guess that is suppose to make me feel better when folks like you say, "well they shot and killed an unarmed white guy also".

 

That is usually what you are banking on, because you know if you get the right jury he has nothing to worry about.

 

You never got back to me on your "change of venue" "stacked jury" hypothesis ... So do we fire all the white cops, or disqualify all the white jurors? What about the judge? If you hadn't noticed, black communities have had enough of these drive by shootings, which in many instances costs innocent lives. I guarantee the witnesses, and victims are going to go to bat for this cop if it goes to trial. If the "victim" wasn't a black teen the cop would have already gotten his letter of commendation.

 

What is it to get back on, hell case after case will show you that.

How about they just FOLLOW the law, now that's s thought.

No ****, I don't know of any black folks who have protested someone who just killed an innocent person being taken to the Bar of Justice.

It was the witnesses who watch him gun this kid down. Where have you been.

Pathetic.

 

No. I cited case after case where the venue wasn't changed. Baltimore, Ferguson, NYC ... Black folk are railing against the senseless violence. And the witnesses will recount how terrified they were ... helpless bystanders. They'll confirm the culprits posed an imminent threat to the innocent public. Pathetic? Pathetic is wanting to railroad a cop who apprehended a car full of violent armed fugitives, because the fugitives are black teens.

 

....and can post many have, but do we really need to play that game.

We always have, where have you been.

Were they terrified when this officer started shooting or did his rounds have eyes on them.

If that is what they were doing they should lock their ashes up, who is arguing with that.

Please tell me how this guy is being railroaded, you think it is ok for the police to play judge, jury and executioner. Why arrest anyone just shot them down in the street. Should a drunk driver be shot to death when they are pulled over they pose an imminent threat to the public. Should they shoot folks who are using a cellphone while driving they pose an imminent threat to the public. It's pathetic that you think an officer can just jump out if his car and start shooting.

 

nope

 

Nope what?
Yes it is your claim he knew the perp was unarmed, it must be judged on what the officer knew at the moment he pulled the trigger and you are claiming he knew the perp was unarmed.

If in fact you are not claiming the officer knew the perp was unarmed then say so and I will stand corrected.

And cite where the law says the threat to the public must be imminent.

 

Yes, cops should be able to shoot people suspected of violent felonies that have bullet holes in their cars, guns in the back seat, and who make sudden movements of any kind.

That's what we hear when these shootings happen because nearly every single one of them turn out to be justified shootings.

Yes the police occasionally have a bad shooting, but its far fewer deaths than you're going to have when the police feel they can no longer risk themselves by doing their jobs.

You're actually fighting for more black people to die. I don't think you realize it, but that's what you're really doing.

 

He counted as a felon under the rule technically but that doesn't mean he met the other element. In fact in that case, unlike in this one, the cop KNEW him to be unarmed in that case as evidenced by the throwdown. He also wasn't a threat of serious injury or death to officers as he inflicted no injuries on slager so he's not a threat without a weapon and as to weapons: slager knew him to be unarmed, again as evidenced by the throwdown, so he wasn't a continuing threat of same to the public either.
And all of that was clear in the evidence, again the THROWDOWN is what got him charged and convicted.

This is not that.

 

I disagree, I don't think they should be to execute folks because they think they committed a violent crime, that is why we have something called, DUE PROCESS.

Actually biased juries justify them.

This officer was never at risk from this kid.

No I am calling for police to not be allowed to just execute people and get away with it.

 

If it wasn't the cop that shot this kid, you can guarantee he'd be gunned down by another 'gangsta' in the near future.

 

nope to your made up argument you tried to attribute to me. You have a terrible habit of doing that with other people. You know perfectly well I never once said the officer KNEW he was unarmed.

 

Here's more:

 

Cause the kid was black and 15.

Also, I said Texas. Not sure the laws there.

 

Driveby attempted murder; car matches eyewitness description; rear window shot out; guns in car, of the SAME CALIBER as the attempted murder; empty magazine in pocket of the SAME CALIBER; other fleeing suspect BEING CHARGED in the driveby; yeah, Rose is clearly completely innocent and uninvolved...and the police were supposed to magically know he was unarmed, and didn't pose a threat to anyone else.
Uh-huh. Got it.

Makes perfect sense.

 

He was 17 but, you're right.

This is a Baltimore situation all over again.

 

Same thing. He wasnt an adult.

He was going to be an astronaut. He was a good kid. *insert baby picture*
