July 8, 201610 yr IF he's physically resisting by trying to get a gun from his pocket or waste band then YES. Yes that would be an appropriate reaction. Obviously if he's going for a gun. My question is more if he's simply physically resisting. Let's say no weapon.
July 8, 201610 yr Obviously if he's going for a gun. My question is more if he's simply physically resisting. Let's say no weapon. Then it would be the next sentence I wrote about call for more back up. I don't know for certain what tools those officers have at their disposal other than more officers.
July 8, 201610 yr I find it hard to imagine the officers getting charged in this case. Officers always get the benefit of the doubt when there is a struggle. Even if he's lying and says he thought the guy had a gun and was reaching for it he's going to get the benefit of the doubt. In order to charge this officer we need to see more than we've seen thus far.
July 8, 201610 yr So far, this shoot APPEARS to be justified. The one in Minnesota does not look good, but I've been wrong before...
July 8, 201610 yr So far, this shoot APPEARS to be justified. The one in Minnesota does not look good, but I've been wrong before... I think I'm in agreement. Bet you didn't see that coming...

July 8, 201610 yr [ATTACH=CONFIG]56794[/ATTACH] This is a photo of a 25 auto that holds 8 rounds of ammunition. If he pistol whipped the homeless guy with that type of gun it wasen't that much of a whipping. Not the kind of gun I was thinking of.
July 8, 201610 yr If he pistol whipped the homeless guy with that type of gun it wasen't that much of a whipping. Not the kind of gun I was thinking of. Really ? Ever been pistol whipped or hit with brass knuckles ? A .25 auto, that will fit in your hand will split your wig just like a 9mm...
July 8, 201610 yr I think I'm in agreement. Bet you didn't see that coming... I wonder why it seems that more people are upset with the Baton Rouge shooting then the one in Minnesota? The Minnesota shooting, while some facts are still unknown, looks far worse. The victim in the Minnesota shooting is by all accounts, a good person. Based on what we've seen and heard he didnt do anything wrong (that could change)... In louisiana you have a convicted sex offender felon, illegally with a gun, who has allegedly threatened someone with said gun, resisted arrest and possibly tried to reach for the gun Yet i still see more anger over it on social media than the one in Minnesota.

More organized in Louisiana than Minnesota I would venture a guess.
July 9, 201610 yr My guess is it has to do with just 5% of the state of Minnesota is black/African American, where Louisiana is 32%... Louisiana Population demographics 2
