[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=svelte]I think two things ought to happen soon:
(1) All officers required to wear body cameras
(2) There need to be national stats generated on police shootings – who, what, where,when. As I understand it, they are not generated now. Makes me wonder why not? Stats are generated on everything else…

Obviously this was an unjustified shooting, no doubt about it.

But call me crazy…if I don’t resist or run from the police, I think my chances of getting shot go waaaaay down. Dunno, just a hunch.[/quote]

yeah. True. I advise you to submit.

if you freak out or resist or run you may be summarily executed.

As long as you obey we may allow you to live.[/quote]

Damn straight. In the heat of the moment all sorts of bad things happen. Right or wrong.

If I want to avoid an accidental or intentional shooting, I should stand right there and wait for my day in court.

By the way, isn’t this the guy who was delinquent on his child support payments but the police pulled him over driving his Mercedes with custom rims and tires? I have no sympathy for anyone who shirks their kids. None.
